We shared our views to enhance coordination with all countries in this region, along with our Quad partners. India and America stand shoulder-to-shoulder in the fight against terrorism and fundamentalism. We’re in agreement that concrete actions are needed in order to end cross-border terrorism.
The COVID pandemic and the Ukraine conflict have afflicted the countries of the Global South in particular. We believe that in order to resolve these problems, it is absolutely imperative for all countries to unite.

Japan‘s $75 billion boost for free, open Indo-Pacific but Ukraine looms large
Significantly, Kishida had last week welcomed the arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin by the International Criminal Court, which is not recognised by India. Despite their common interests in the Indo-Pacific, India’s position on Ukraine remains markedly different from Japan and other Quad members as it refuses to categorically condemn Russia’s military actions. Diplomatic sources said Japan wants India to be more forthcoming on the Ukraine issue and that the two sides agreed to remain in touch on developments related to the conflict.
Biden says US will use force to defend Taiwan if China invades
He warned that China is already „flirting with danger by flying so close and all the maneuvers they are undertaking (in Taiwan‘s ADIZ).“ The president said that although the U.S. is committed to the ‚one China‘ policy, it does not mean that China has the „jurisdiction to go in and use force to take over Taiwan.“
Biden pledged that the U.S. „stands firmly with Japan and other nations not to let that happen.“
Japan hosts Quad summit seeking unity on countering China
Leaders of Japan, India, Australia and the United States met in Tokyo on Tuesday, looking to put China on notice as it expands its military and economic influence in the region.
The summit of the grouping known as the Quad comes a day after U.S. President Joe Biden said Washington would be ready to intervene militarily to defend Taiwan, prompting China to accuse him of „playing with fire“.
Tuesday‘s gathering is expected to produce fewer fireworks but still be clearly directed at China.

Die Förderung der Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Verbündeten in der Region ist ein wichtiger Aspekt der Anti-China-Politik der Biden-Administration, und Präsident Biden hat deutlich gemacht, dass er die Quad als entscheidend für diese Strategie ansieht. Im März hielt Biden ein virtuelles Treffen mit den Staats- und Regierungschefs Indiens, Japans und Australiens ab, das den allerersten Quad-Gipfel darstellte.

Indonesia Will Not Join QUAD as It Delicately Balances Relations With All Regional Players
Even Vietnam, which has centuries long animosity with China and more tense relations over the South China Sea, shows no intentions of joining QUAD. Besides the lack of interest from Vietnam, and likely from Indonesia too, QUAD members themselves, at this point in time, have not named any specific candidates to join their anti-China coalition.
Biden auf Sicherheitskonferenz: „Das transatlantische Bündnis ist zurück“
Dem russischen Präsidenten Wladimir Putin warf Biden in seiner Rede vor, das Projekt der europäischen Einigung und das transatlantische Bündnis schwächen zu wollen. Für Russland sei es einfacher, einzelne Länder unter Druck zu setzen und zu bedrohen, als sich mit starken, geeinten Bündnissen anzulegen.
Es gehe nicht darum, den Kalten Krieg wieder aufleben zu lassen, aber Russlands Provokationen dürften nicht unbeantwortet bleiben, forderte Biden. Die USA und Europa müssten daher auch stets zur „Souveränität und territorialen Integrität“ der Ukraine stehen.

“The Coming War On China” – Watch John Pilger’s Powerfully Relevant Documentary
(March 23 2020)
“The aim of this film is to break a silence: the United States and China may well be on the road to war, and nuclear war is no longer unthinkable,” Pilger says in his 2016 documentary The Coming War on China, which you can watch free on Youtube here or on Vimeo here.
“In a few years China has become the world’s second-biggest economic power,” Pilger’s introduction continues. “The United States is the world’s biggest military power, with bases and missiles and ships covering every continent and every ocean. China is a threat to this dominance, says Washington. But who is the threat? This film is about shifting power, and great danger.”
