After the talks between the leaders of the U.S., Japan, Australia and India, the common statement did not seem to specifically mention anything against the Chinese Communist Party, but in essence, the four countries have a series of close cooperation arrangements in the Indo-Pacific region in which the Chinese Communist Party cannot participate. The Chinese Communist Party’s top brass, which is a great power and ready to dominate the Pacific Ocean, ended up being out of the cooperation and consultation among the major Indo-Pacific countries, which is the most difficult and the biggest point for the Chinese Communist Party.
The historic meeting of the leaders of the four countries, of course, may have a secret consultation part and will not be announced to the public, but the convergence of the four leaders profoundly reflects the urgency of the situation in the Indo-Pacific. The four countries are jointly leading the direction of security stability and development in the Indo-Pacific region, to the exclusion of the Chinese Communist regime.
The Communist Party of China boasts of being the world’s second largest economy and the largest in Asia, while Japan and India, its immediate neighbors to the east and west, have chosen to step up cooperation with the United States, and their attitude toward the Communist Party has become self-evident. Australia seems to be slightly more geographically distant, but possesses excellent strategic vision. After the baptism of the Pacific War, Australia has apparently learned its lessons seriously, preventing the war from reaching its homeland early on and reconfirming its economic development orientation.
The quadrilateral cooperation was rapidly strengthened during the Trump era and incorporated into the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy; after Biden took office, the level of meetings soon escalated significantly, actually surpassing the Trump era and causing considerable embarrassment to the Chinese Communist Party’s top brass. The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian responded to the quadripartite talks by saying, “Don’t engage in closed and exclusive ‘small circles,'” but could not prevent the CCP from being excluded from the key cooperation agenda in the Indo-Pacific region.
The Chinese Communist Party’s top brass knows it is a scandal, so they dare not make too much noise about it. The Xinhua News Agency only reported in an inconspicuous position, “U.S., Japanese, Australian and Indian Leaders Discuss Epidemic, Climate Change and Other Issues,” downplaying that “the U.S. is committed to working with regional alliance partners to achieve regional stability” and that “the main topics of the meeting were global challenges such as the new crown epidemic and climate change. “The four leaders also discussed the North Korean nuclear issue, the situation in Myanmar and maritime security. The CCP did not dare to specifically mention the sensitive issues of the East China Sea, South China Sea and Taiwan Sea, deliberately shifting the focus, but it could not hide the inner loss of the CCP’s top management.
The Xinhua report also specifically quoted White House security adviser Jake Sullivan as saying, “The U.S.-Japan-Australia-India ‘quadrilateral mechanism’ is not a military alliance, nor is it a ‘new NATO’ “. The Chinese Communist Party tried to make a case for itself, but ended up describing that “the four countries will establish a high-level vaccine expert group, a working group on climate and a working group on critical and emerging technologies,” and that “the leaders of the four countries plan to meet face-to-face within the year.
Xi Jinping has mentioned cooperation on the epidemic in several international speeches, including a call with Biden, but has failed to get a response. The four countries discussed cooperation in the fight against the epidemic, leaving behind the Communist regime. In addition to climate cooperation, the four countries have also stepped up cooperation in science and technology, while the Chinese Communist Party remains excluded from the “circle” of cooperation on many issues.
The U.S.-China diplomatic dialogue was scheduled after this quadripartite meeting, and the U.S. apparently reached a consensus with its allies before starting to engage with the CCP. The Communist Party media falsely claimed that a “strategic dialogue” between the U.S. and China was about to take place, but the just-concluded quadripartite talks are a good illustration of what “strategic dialogue” or “strategic cooperation” means, and the Communist regime The Chinese Communist regime was not involved at all.
The mainland media could only reproduce the report of Xinhua News Agency and then interpret it separately, saying that the statement of the four countries did not mention the Chinese Communist Party, or even falsely claiming that the four parties did not agree, but they had to report that the four parties would jointly provide 1 billion vaccines to Asia, which once again embarrassed the Chinese Communist Party’s vaccine diplomacy. The four countries also discussed building a rare earth supply chain, which is undoubtedly also highly targeted.
The Communist Party’s top brass was most concerned about the four countries’ military cooperation, which is why the Communist Party media called it a “mini-NATO,” but now it seems that the quartet’s cooperation is much broader and goes far beyond military security. The CCP’s withdrawal of troops from the Indian border is a reflection of the concerns of the CCP’s top brass, who have to try to make up with India again in an attempt to break the quadripartite talks. The Indo-Pacific security crisis created by the Chinese Communist Party has actually created an opportunity for India to be part of the world, to deeply strengthen cooperation with the United States and its allies, and to receive a large number of supply chains transferred from China, so how could India not firmly grasp it?
The Four-Party Talks were first proposed by Japan precisely because Japan was the first to feel the threat of the Chinese Communist Party. The Chinese Communist Party has been expanding and provoking in the East China Sea, Taiwan Sea and South China Sea, engaging in unfair trade and stealing technology around the world, and in 2020 it is also seeking hegemony with love and dumping pots everywhere, still refusing to admit the source of the plague, and messing up Hong Kong, seriously persecuting human rights, and war-wolf diplomacy. The top echelon of the Chinese Communist Party has single-handedly facilitated the four-party talks and deeper cooperation, and is now reaping the consequences. The Communist Party’s exit may be beyond the expectations of the Communist Party’s top management, but in reality, it was already inevitable.
The Chinese Communist Party media can continue to make high-profile claims about going global and dominating the world, but now that they are out of the picture in Indo-Pacific affairs, it does not seem to matter whether the Communist Party is specifically mentioned in the statement of the quadripartite talks. White House security adviser Sullivan said, “The four leaders did discuss the challenge from China (CCP) and they made clear that no one has any illusions about China (CCP)” (The four leaders did discuss the challenge posed by China and they made clear that none of them has any illusions about China).
The CCP’s exit is just beginning, and this alternative will face a wider exit in the world next.
