You might want to look at China actions towards India after India signed Indo-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation
I'm sorry, I don't see the your analogy as relevant as I was talking about a hypothetical situation in which China is contained by QUAD successfully (unlikely) and is now in a vengeful state.
China had chosen appeasement policy towards India when a military alliance between India and Soviet Union emerged rather than picking fights on two fronts
Yes an appeasement policy is ambushing Indian patrols in 1967 and 1975 and continually building up infrastructure along the LAC.
China never had soft power to begin with ... 10 years ago, the only things we heard about were cheap Chinese knockoffs and Tibetan repression and the Great Firewall. China has all but given up on soft power and is exclusively focusing on hard power (i.e. military buildup).
I meant it was building up it's power in the past..
Chinese were way more aggressive, directly got into wars and overtly supported Communist insurgencies back then unlike today
Define defeat of China
Agreed
How is QUAD going to limit Chinese naval activity? Please explain. AFAIK, the Chinese can still exercise anywhere they want as long as they are not in territorial waters. The QUAD at most will only be there to counter Chinese naval presence, not limit it.
Lol! Treaty with the Soviets was signed in 1971
Australia even said that it will not harm it's relations with China in a recent news post
Recently Chinese have been accused of supplying weapons via Myanmar to Indian seven sister state insurgents. Also, don't forget the Galwan clash.
Evolution of QUAD into military alliance is long way
