Defining the News
Tokyo, Japan—The foreign ministers of the United States, Japan, Australia and India on Monday expressed “serious concern” over the situation in the South China Sea in a veiled rebuke to Beijing.
“We are seriously concerned about the situation in the East and South China Seas and reiterate our strong opposition to any unilateral actions that seek to change the status quo by force or coercion,” the communique said. The Quad talks in Tokyo, the first since September, included Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa, India’s S. Jaishankar and Australia’s top diplomat Penny Wong.Their statement was noticeably more muted than a communique issued after talks on Sunday between Blinken, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and their Japanese counterparts.
Beijing on Monday warned Japan and the US to “stop creating imaginary enemies,” saying their bilateral statement “maliciously attacks China’s foreign policy.”The Philippines—Blinken and Austin’s next stop—is locked in a longstanding territorial row with Beijing over parts of the South China Sea. Kamikawa said the Quad was determined to “cooperate for the coexistence and co-prosperity of the international community.”
