Quad Takes a Tough Stance on China, Announces New Initiatives | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The recent Quad Summit in Delaware marked a turning point for the alliance, with a stronger focus on countering China's influence and ambitious new initiatives on maritime security, healthcare, and infrastructure. While the Quad has historically tiptoed around directly criticising Beijing, this year's summit saw a shift in tone. A leaked statement from President Biden revealed China as the top agenda item, with concerns raised about its "aggressive behaviour" in the South China Sea and East China Sea. The joint statement also indirectly condemned Beijing's actions through strong language about "militarisation of islands" and "intimidation tactics." Despite the focus on Beijing, the Quad also addressed other critical issues. The leaders announced the "Quad Cancer Moonshot," a collaborative effort to fight cancer through resource pooling, with an initial focus on cervical cancer prevention and vaccines. On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma tells you more.

Small country like ours with a small population 😂😂

That was pretty much outlined by the American senators who were playing the war game simulation and also by Elbridge Colby.
The moment China became the largest economy in the world by PPP metric in 2014-16. The showdown with America was inevitable, because it's a common theme in US politics since Nixon that they should never allow itself to become the "Second greatest power in the world" (meaning they will stop any country that will be a challenger to US hegemony).
Basically they want the war with China to be before 2030-32.(Which is the time when China finally becomes Number 1 by Nominal GDP index)
