Decoded | Quad Summit 2022: Can the Quad counter China in the Indo Pacific?

The Quad nations met for only their 2nd in-person meeting in Tokyo. On the agenda was a rollout&nbsp;of benefits to the Indo-Pacific region, in a bid to counter China's influence.

PM Modi met the leaders of Australia, Japan, and United States at the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, or Quad, meeting in Tokyo. This was only the second in-person meeting of the Quad, which has been seen by some as a vehicle for the US to counter China&rsquo;s influence in the Asia and Indo-Pacific region, with the help of like-minded nations.
This Quad meeting was held in the shadow of the Ukraine-Russia war, which has shaken up the world order, and reshaped global politics. The US has deeply engaged in the war, and has committed $54 billion to the effort.
There is some tension within the Quad over the war as well. Australia, Japan, and US all unequivocally stand against Russia&rsquo;s aggression, while India&rsquo;s position is one of studied neutrality, which calls for peace and respect for territorial sovereignty, but stops short of criticising Russia.

The Quad, however, remains primarily an alliance for like-minded nations to counter China&rsquo;s influence. China does not find mention in any official Quad statement, but the four nations are banded together by the shared interest of creating a strategic balance of power in the Indo-Pacific, free from China&rsquo;s aims of expansion and subversion of the international order. Beijing has branded the Quad an &lsquo;anti-China alliance&rsquo;.
While all four countries are united in wanting to counter China&rsquo;s influence, the nature of the threat is different. While for the US and Australia, the Chinese threat is mainly about trade and the sovereignty of Taiwan, Japan and India face Chinese claims to territory. India is also facing Chinese economic overtures to its neighbours Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.

In a statement after the meeting, the four nations also announced co-operative measures including a Quad Fellowship programme, which will sponsor a 100 students every year to pursue graduate degrees in STEM fields in the United States. They also pledged $5.2 billion to the COVAX vaccination initiative, recognised the urgent need to address climate change, and recognised the importance of combating the financing of terrorism. The Quad also pledged $50 billion to improve infrastructure across the Indo-Pacific region.
On the sidelines, Prime Minister Modi also held bilateral talks with US President Joe Biden, Japanese PM Fumio Kishida, and held his first in-person meeting with newly-elected Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. PM Modi complimented Albanese on his commitment to the Quad, for being present at the summit just a day after being sworn into office. The two leaders held &lsquo;fruitful&rsquo; discussions, and affirmed their desire to continue the positive momentum in the bilateral relationship. Australia is set to host the next Quad summit in 2023.
China and Russia certainly took note of the Quad meeting in their backyard, as jets from both countries carried out joint flights over the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea as the meeting occurred in Tokyo. Japan&rsquo;s defence minister called the move provocative, and expressed grave concern over the exercise.

US President Joe Biden met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Tokyo on Tuesday, on the sidelines of a four-country Indo-Pacific summit that also includes Japan and Australia.
The U.S. and India differ on how to respond to the Russian invasion. With Modi sitting nearby, Biden made the case that the world has a shared responsibility to do something to assist Ukrainian resistance against Russia’s aggression.
Later, in comments to reporters after a one-on-one meeting with Modi, Biden said they Russia's invasion of Ukraine "and the effect it has on the entire global world order." Biden added that the U.S. and India will continue to consult "on how to mitigate these negative effects."
In his comments, Modi made no mention of the war in Ukraine, instead ticking off several trade and investment programs that he discussed with the president.

Prime Minister Modi interacted with children outside the hotel in Tokyo on day one of his visit for the Quad summit. He also saw the drawing of a young girl and signed an autograph for her during his interaction with the children.
He then interacted with a boy who was waiting for him with a drawing of the tricolour. Prime Minister Modi asked him from where he learnt Hindi and praised him for his fluency in the language.
“Japan’s Indian community has made pioneering contributions in different fields. They have also remained connected with their roots in India. I thank the Indian diaspora in Japan for the warm welcome,” Prime Minister Modi said on Twitter after his interaction with the community.
Noting that Japan is home to nearly 40,000 members of the Indian diaspora, who are an important anchor in India's relations with Japan, Modi said he looks forward to interacting with them.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday dismissed China's vehement opposition to the Quad, saying the grouping will do "positive things" and contribute to the prosperity and stability of the strategic Indo-Pacific region and criticising it repeatedly will not make the four-nation grouping less credible.
Jaishankar's remarks in response to a question came a day after he and other foreign ministers of Quad –US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Japan’s Yoshimasa Hayashi and Australia's Marise Payne - on Friday vowed to expand cooperation to keep the Indo-Pacific free from "coercion".
The reference to coercion is seen as a veiled message to China's more assertive and aggressive behaviour in the Indo-Pacific region.
"All four of us yesterday, the two of us and Blinken and Hayashi, as well, made that point that we are here to do positive things. We are here to contribute to the peace, prosperity, and stability of the region," Jaishankar said while speaking at a joint press conference along with his Australian counterpart here.
"Our record and our actions and stances is fairly clear and by criticising it repeatedly, it doesn't make us less credible," he asserted.
China, which has territorial disputes with many countries in the strategic Indo-Pacific region, has been vehemently opposing the Quad alliance since its formation.
On Friday, China termed the Quad alliance between the US, India, Australia and Japan as a "tool" to contain China's rise and to maintain American hegemony.
"China believes that the so-called Quad group cobbled together by the US, Japan, India and Australia is essentially a tool for containing and besieging China to maintain US hegemony. It aims to stoke confrontation and undermine international solidarity and cooperation," Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhao Lijian said in Beijing in response to a question on the Quad grouping.
"I want to stress that as the Cold War is long over, the attempt to forge a so-called alliance to contain China wins no support and leads nowhere," he said.
Zhao also alleged that the US was playing up the “China threat” theory in order to "smear, oppress and contain China’s development".

BITE:&nbsp;Yes, we (Quad) had a discussion on India-China relations because it was part of how we briefed each other about what was happening in our neighbourhood. It's an issue in which a lot of countries legitimately take interest, particularly if they are from Indo-Pacific region:
