QUAD is modern day multilateral Partnership. its very Flexible. As we r entering into MultiPolar world so the partnership shd also be like that. Every nation have own interest , Australia wud like to benefit economically as much as it can from china , while trying to be part of QUAD which is nothing but to Remind china abt limitations it can put. Similarly India want its Old proved relation with Russia to keep goin on.

@@EdmundLam-ku8ro LOL Indian economy depends on Global MNCs(mostly Western) products which are mostly manufactured in China as they Conceived china as Factory of the world. India has Cut itself off from every Product/Investment from china which is Totally Chinese and can create Crutches for India on china. So no INDIAN Economy doesnt depend on china . If china can Stop these MNC products to be exported to india , well they shd...😂😂
