From October 1 to 3, China dispatched 93 military aircraft into the airspace of the Taiwan Strait. On the 4th, it set a record of 52 in a single day. The alarming number has angered the United States, and the State Department issued a special statement condemning China's "provocative actions" for destabilizing. Just more than ten hours after the U.S. expressed its position, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force issued a press release at noon on the 4th , confirming that joint exercises will be held in the waters southwest of Okinawa with the navies of the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, Canada, and New Zealand from October 2 to 3. The purpose of the exercise is to strengthen cooperation and "realize a free and open Indo-Pacific region." International public opinion has also interpreted it as an intention to declare combat power and express a position to China.

Most of New Zealand looks set to stay at alert level 2 after an outbreak of Covid-19 in Waikato was confirmed on Sunday.

The Quad has come a long way since it was resurrected in 2017 as a loose coalition comprising the US, Australia, India and Japan. The face-to-face, leaders summit at the end of last week marked a new high point for the grouping.

Three of the members continue to suffer Chinese coercion in various forms: economic coercion in Australia’s case, and the use of military and grey-zone tactics to advance territorial claims when it comes to India and Japan.
