CHINA-US: GLOBAL TIMES CRITICAL OF FIRST QUAD SUMMIT SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 24
|
After the White House issued a statement that US President Biden will host the first-ever Quad
Leaders’ Summit at the White House on September 24, the Global Times (September 15) criticised
the proposed meeting and quoted Chinese experts as saying that the summit will make no big
change on its hostility against China. Lü Xiang, an expert on US studies at the Chinese Academy
of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on September 14 that "the summit is just another show
with limited concrete outcomes. The US, Japan, India and Australia are just like four wardmates
with different illnesses but stay in the same ward." Lin Minwang, a professor at the Institute of
International Studies at Fudan University, was quoted as saying "India suffered from great loss in
Afghanistan" ... "but New Delhi swallowed the bitter consequence without complaint to the US".
He added "Because India has decided to lean to the US side, the US can still coordinate with India
even after its irresponsible decision in Afghanistan that made New Delhi pay a heavy price".
