What’s breathtaking is the level of corruption and rot in Washington. And how embedded the American elites are with the CPC. Forget taking on China, the US under Biden will take up for it. We could likely be looking for a Quad minus the US
the level of infiltration by chinese interests into the US system (which implies large-scale bribery, honey-traps, and any and all other means of coercion) is very high. of course it is even higher in india, in the media and academia, and surely in babu-dom. but quad-1 would be doomed to failure.
