The phrase here is directed towards China, the superpower. China, on the other hand, refers to the Quad as an Asian equivalent of NATO. According to Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the UN Security Council, the Quad is "ganging up in the Asia-Pacific region, creating cliques, and bent on provoking confrontation."
