What would it take to make China into a Buddhist-majority country until the present day?

The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (also known as the Quad) is an informal strategic alliance between the United States of America, Japan, India and Australia which was initiated in 2007. What would it take to turbowank the Quad right from the start? I think China being even more militarily...
