On May 24 when the Quad leaders were meeting in Tokyo, Chinese and Russian fighter jets carried out joint flights over the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea , Japan's Defence Minister said.
Mr. Kishi also informed that a Russian intelligence-gathering aircraft also flew off northern Hokkaido to the Noto Peninsula in central Japan on Tuesday, calling the moves especially "provocative" given the summit in Tokyo.
Thereafter , On May 30, 2022 , China Held the Second Foreign Ministers' Virtual Meet with Pacific Island Countries.
However,Pacific countries have declined to sign up a sweeping regional economic and security deal proposed by China after this crucial meeting .
Thereafter, China’s foreign minister Wang Yi proceeded on a marathon tour of the region, visiting eight countries in 10 days, a trip that ostensibly indicates an increase in tempo and of efforts by China to push to enhance its influence in the region.
The above indicates that the Quad meet has unnerved the Chinese and its friend Russia.
Prima facie it appears ; Many a times , while trying to entangle others you end up entangling yourself.
