But in the near term at least, the Quad leaders may find more strength on the military front because China is showing no sign of moderating its more assertive military posture, and the more the People’s Liberation Army flexes its muscle in the Indo-Pacific region, the more other countries aligned with Quad members will be inclined to cooperate with the group.

Richard Rossow, a senior adviser on US-India relations at CSIS, noted that Prime Minister Modi’s willingness to travel to Washington, along with Suga and Morrison, “in the middle of a pandemic … for the first time, in person, is pretty significant”. a real territory grab that we see happening [to] a country that is to some extent almost a protectorate of India,” he said.that India hosts might start including not only the Quad countries but the [British] Royal Navy, Canada, the Netherlands and so forth.”
