AUKUS alliance a 'united front' which will deter China from 'adventurism'

Defence experts say the inauguration of the AUKUS alliance presents a “united front” which will deter China from any “adventurism” in the Indo-Pacific region.

The agreement between Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom will see the Australian Defence Force enhance its naval capabilities with a new fleet of nuclear-powered submarines.

“What this shows, first and foremost, is that there is a lot more concern about what China is doing in London, Canberra and Washington than we know about,” non-resident fellow at the US Studies Centre James Brown said.

“That’s driven by things like the fact that China has built three new fields in the northwest of the country full of nuclear missile silos, it’s modernising its nuclear force.

“So, this is about presenting a united front, a deterrence to any adventurism that China might be thinking about.

“It’s about positioning these three democracies to be at the forefront of the development of strategic and critical technologies in AI and cyber quantum.”

Do you think Australia would dare to fire on a Chinese warship ?

It’s better to have something and not need it, than to need it and not have it!

I can't see any benefit by confronting China. We've lost exporting, tourism, oversea market.

Raucus about Aukus means we're tying ourselves to a dying empire.

Study history repeats itself, Germany lost the war, destroying their people, hope is not to be forgotten

[jokerr]

Sounds stupid !
This will not deter the Chinese at all !
In fact the Chinese will just need to increase their number of submarines to counter this...

Get Japan, South Korea and India onboard as well.

China has not invaded other countries for 3000 years, but some imperialists have formed alliances, it is really ironically.

There are Nuclear Boats lying idle, some only just decommissioned, there's at least 4 or 5 Trafalgar Class SSNs tied up in Devonport, they just need refuelling and refit, and would be available within 3 years for RAN Service.

As a stop gap option whilst Australia considers what type of SSNs it wants for the future, either US Virginia Class, UK Astute Class, or perhaps the larger SSNs that both the USN and RN are currently designing.
