A ridiculous statement. The only reason China opposes "blocks" is because that is how countries can stand up to it.

This is a big win for the US and Australia and a big kick in the teeth for China’s attempts to threaten sea lanes.

India is not only a leader of Global South. She is also a leader of Global North, Global East and West. Just ask India for anything - she can help.
