China furious over Quad meeting, said - Quad is like a tool to rein in China

 

China has said that the Quad coalition is a "tool" to prevent it from moving forward and that it is a deliberate move to intensify the confrontation, which will not succeed. This statement of China came at a time when a meeting regarding Quad was held in China yesterday. External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar also participated in the Foreign Ministers' meeting of the Quad countries in Melbourne, Australia. Along with this, he also held separate meetings with the Defense Minister of Australia and the Foreign Ministers of America and Japan. Jaishankar went to Australia for the first time as foreign minister.

Actually, the quad includes India, Australia, America and Japan. China has territorial disputes with several countries in the strategically important Indo-Pacific region and has been opposing the Quad alliance since its formation. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a press conference here, "China believes that the so-called Quad group formed by the United States, Japan, India and Australia is a tool to encircle China and maintain American hegemony." .''

'America's step to provoke China is Quad'

Responding to a question about the Quad foreign ministers starting talks in Melbourne, Australia, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a press conference here, "China believes that the Quad mechanism is only a way to control it." It is a tool." He said, "It is a deliberate move to provoke conflict and undermine international solidarity and cooperation." and any attempt to forge a coalition aimed at deterring China will not succeed," he said when asked about US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's statement that China was acting more aggressively in the region. Zhao said, "the remarks made by the American politician are nothing but a repetition of a political lie."

 

Ahead of the Quad foreign ministers' meeting, Zhao said on Wednesday that China rejects any move to create a special bloc and provoke confrontation. "We hope that the United States and other relevant countries will understand the course of the times, have the right mindset and abandon the Cold War mentality," he said.
