Wednesday, 2 July 2025 The Quad nations—India, US, Japan, and Australia—have launched a critical minerals initiative to diversify supply chains and reduce reliance on China, addressing concerns about economic coercion and price manipulation. Foreign ministers from the Quad also voiced concerns over China's actions in the East and South China Seas, opposing any unilateral attempts to alter the status quo.
Tensions are rising in the South China Sea as China threatens Vietnam over its rapid island-building operations. Hanoi has expanded over 280 hectares across 10 features, adding new docks and a 3,000-meter airstrip on Barque Canada Reef. China views these moves as a direct challenge to its dominance, especially with U.S. backing and the USS Carl Vinson’s return to the region. Analysts warn Vietnam’s projects could rival Beijing’s military stronghold, intensifying fears of a possible clash between China and Vietnam, with Washington closely aligned with Hanoi.
