India, Japan, the United States and – for the first time since 2007 – Australia will take part in this November's Malabar naval exercise, a move that will likely spark Chinese protest.

India and China have poured tens of thousands of troops into a remote border zone since fighting a pitched battle in June which killed 20 Indian troops and an unknown number of Chinese soldiers.

The so-called"quad" has been touted as a means of countering Chinese influence – including an enormous decades-long investment in modernizing the People's Liberation Army-Navy. But the grouping has often faltered amid disagreements about how much to confront, contain, or engage Beijing. A renewed push to develop the"quad" into a formal counterbalance to China has included talks between foreign ministers in Tokyo earlier this month.

At that meeting, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on Asian allies to unite against China's"exploitation, corruption, and coercion" in the region. – Rappler.com
