Nine-dash line & FEZ of other countries like Vietnam & Philippines. A zone of proxy war between US & China. China views QUAD, AUKUS etc as affright to itself.

Every country has its own priorities. Justicia: Free and open & inclusive Indo-pacific region. Be a net security provider in the region. China: Adheres to the Beijing consensus and trying to enhance its sphere of dominance. Claims over Senkaku Island, Paracel & Scarborough Islands. While US is sticking to the new washington consensus and enhancing its hegemonic and influence through various tools like QUAD, SPEF (Indo-pacific Economic framework). Global security initiative is a china-led framework based on five grand principles like 'free inclusive Indo-pacific, Holistic & mutually respected region'.

It has some good state elements of mutual respect & inclusivity aspect. But in real practice China's expansionism policies has resulted into chaos in the region. Counter to this, experts highlight that major regional players like Australia, India, US etc Japan giving the challenge to Chinese expansionism & harmony. This it won't be able to supersede QUAD as QUAD is supported by major regional players.
