U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the Quad is not an anti-China coalition as preparations for the first summit in over two years are finalized in the Philippines.

Rubio emphasized that the coalition is focused on addressing specific behaviors and activities, particularly from one country, without naming China. The Chinese embassy responded, opposing exclusive groupings that target third parties. The Quad's foreign ministers expressed concerns over economic coercion and supply chain disruptions, hinting at a broader geopolitical context.
