The top diplomats of Japan, the United States, Australia, and India have expressed serious concerns over China's use of trade restrictions and other measures deemed economically coercive during a meeting of the Quad grouping in Atlanta. The four countries, including Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, committed to providing over $85 million in technical and financial assistance to improve access to trusted artificial intelligence across the Indo-Pacific region.
They assessed progress on ongoing Quad initiatives and voiced grave concerns regarding economic coercion, including arbitrary export restrictions and non-market policies that disrupt global supply chains in critical industries. The meeting took place ahead of a potential Quad summit in the Philippines, with the leaders set to visit Manila in mid-November for meetings involving the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and its partners.
