Cornered by the Quad? Four countries will have to show that their infrastructure development plans are a match to Chinese ambitions November on the sidelines of the East Asia Summit in Manila, the Quadrilateral arrangement involving Australia, India, Japan and the U.S. saw a revival as officials exchanged notes on regional and global security. In 2017 it was an assertive Beijing that brought the four Indo Pacifi c powers together to manage the externalities arising out of the scale and scope of China s rise. Challenging China Initial meeting, there has been a range of questions on the viability of the Quad Specifically on its agenda given that the grouping has often been wary of explicitly annoying the Chinese. Last week it was revealed that the four countries are working to establish a joint regional infrastructure scheme as an alternative to China s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) Though the plan is still in its nascent(नवज त) stage Copyright @ Study-IQ education
Continue As Australia s Minister for Foreign Affairs said recently in a media interview in London, We want to work with China to ensure that their infrastructure investment Adds to the economic growth that is so needed in our part of the world According to some estimates, developing nations in the Indo Pacific itself need around $26 trillion through 2030 for their infrastructure needs. The Quad nations will have to present their own model Beijing s approach as top down, opaque and self serving Scale and scope of the Chinese economic footprint can only be tackled if the Quad nations combine forces. Unlike the military option, this is a softer side of the Quad engagement and its members are already undertaking connectivity projects around the world. India and Japan, for example, are working on an ambitious Asia Africa Growth Corridor linking Southeast Asia to Africa Biggest concern about the BRI is that it is a means of cementing Chinese economic hegemony Copyright @ Study-IQ education
Continue India s opposition has been the strongest partly because the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, which is a part of the BRI, passes through Pakistan occupied Kashmir India was the only major power which did not attend the BRI summit hosted by China last May Beijing has already expressed its unhappiness at the emergence of the Quad and will see moves to counter the BRI as an attempt to shift the balance of power The possibility of major power coordination on managing global connectivity still remains a possibility but as more and more countries recognise the limits of Chinese approach, the Quad s attraction will get even stronger Copyright @ Study-IQ education
