Synopsis<\/strong>: To counter China\u2019s influence, Quad announced their collaboration in the technology sector.<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Recently Quad Summit was held. Under this summit, a separate statement on \u201cQuad\u00a0Principles on Technology, Design, Development, Governance and Use<\/strong>\u201d has been issued which is independent of the main statement. This signifies the focus of Quad countries on technology.<\/p>\n

What were the commitments made under the Quad principles?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Quad countries committed themselves to develop critical and development technology to benefit the society while upholding the freedom of expression, respect for universal human rights, shared democratic values and privacy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Share Information: <\/strong>Quad countries recognized the need to collaborate on areas that were earlier strictly regulated. They agreed to share research and movement of highly skilled experts<\/strong>.

Why China is a threat, and what are the countries approaches to counter this threat?<\/strong><\/p>\n

China has made rapid advancements in the technological sector. It has invested several billion dollars in emerging tech. It is an emerging nation in cyber hacking, robotics, artificial intelligence etc.<\/p>\n

USA<\/strong>: The defence security and technology strategy of the US is now centred around countering China. According to the research of Rand Cooperation<\/strong>, the Aim of the Third Offset Policy of the USA <\/strong>was to draw on US advanced technologies to offset China\u2019s and Russia\u2019s technological advances.<\/p>\n

These efforts were successful as in 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS) embraced many of the fundamental tenets of technological advances and Organisational changes developed by the Third Offset.<\/p>\n

India: <\/strong>India has also announced various collaborations in defence security systems driven by emerging tech. These include sectors like drone manufacturing and cyber security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should the Quad do?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The fear of Chinese domination in advanced technologies has brought the governments together. But most countries have their own independent technological solutions to take on the challenge. There is a need to bring in greater synergy between the QUAD countries to form a combined front against China.<\/p>\n
