US President Joe Biden will lead the first Quadrilateral Security Dialogue talks with the leaders of Australia, India, and Japan on March 12. Making the Quad work could be Biden’s most important task in Asia but doing so requires a specific agenda that builds on shared goals. And it’s not just about China – it’s about getting Asia right.
Biden faces a resurgent China, more confident than it was before the COVID-19 pandemic. That will make it harder to deal with a host of challenges in Asia, from maritime security to North Korea. In the face of such risks, the Biden administration is right to continue former US President Donald Trump’s move to reinvigorate the group.
