Over the past 20 years,during the three-stage development process of the"Quadrilateral Security Dialogue"(QUAD),the Asia-Pacific strategy of the United States has continuously evolved,playing the roles of advocate,promoter,and leader successively,indicating an increasing emphasis on this mechanism.With the rise of the"Indo-Pacific"concept,the U.S.has relied more heavily on the QUAD,especially focusing on courting India strategically,advancing infrastructure cooperation economically,upgrading alliances militarily,and expanding members of the QUAD diplomatically.The primary reasons why the U.S.vigorously promotes the QUAD and emphasizes the threat of China is mainly that it hopes to maintain its global hegemony through the QUAD,contain China's rise,replace China's"Belt and Road Initiative"(BRI),and weaken China's influence in South Asia and the Indian Ocean region,so as to serve its global strategic interests and shape a favorable Indo-Pacific strategic environment.However,due to the differences and divergences between the United States and the other three countries regarding to the"Indo-Pacific"concept,strategic focus,national interests,foreign policy and other aspects,have restricted the realization of the U.S.strategic goals.Undoubtedly,under the promotion and influence of the United States,the QUAD will aggravate regional security dilemma,intensify regional contradictions,and deteriorate China's surrounding security environment,but it cannot prevent China's rise and the BRI.China should remain vigilant about the QUAD and adopt preventive diplomacy to eliminate or reduce the adverse effects on China.
