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 latest virus spread triggered stricter lockdown measures around Hamilton and makes it unlikely the Government will use Monday’s scheduled review to relax the rules elsewhere. However, at least one expert is calling for a more nuanced approach to ease restrictions in the South Island.

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.
