Britain to join the QUAD coalition against China

In a massive strategic move, Britain looking forward to joining the Asian NATO like an alliance with world powers against China. Britain’s move is to restrain China’s expansionist ambition in the region. The Chinese Communist Regime has set up the stage for military actions against Taiwan and the rest.

In recent times, Britain is tilting towards the Indo-Pacific resistance against the Chinese. This happens simultaneously after detaching itself from the European Union. This means the expansion of the ‘The QUAD’ alliance could make it the most powerful in the region.

While no firm proposals have been put to Boris Johnson so far, there is thought to be an ‘appetite’ in the UK government to join the alliance, according to the Telegraph. Fears over China’s military and political ambitions have led to calls for an expanded ‘Asian NATO’ alliance and prompted the US to send an aircraft carrier, the USS Theodore Roosevelt , to the South China Sea to promote ‘freedom of the Sea’

As per the UK publication ‘Daily Mail UK’, Officially known as the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, the alliance was first set up in 2007 and joint naval exercises were held between the four countries. 

The grouping was abandoned a year later but revived in 2017 with official talks between the four governments. 

The four foreign secretaries met last October at a meeting in Japan where the US lashed out at China’s Communist rulers for ‘exploitation, corruption, and coercion’.  

The US has clashed with China over a long line of issues while Australia has feuded with Beijing over coronavirus, Indian soldiers have battled Chinese troops in deadly clashes on their Himalayan border and Japan also has disputes over islands.  

Britain has also feuded with Beijing over issues including the Hong Kong security crackdown, Huawei’s 5G network, and alleged human rights abuses in Xinjiang. 

On a visit to India in December, Raab was quoted as saying that there was ‘nothing ruled out’ after he discussed the Quad with his Indian counterpart.
