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(नवजात) stage
 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
 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
