THE formation of the new military alliance between the US, Australia and Britain – Aukus - represents a serious escalation of the new cold war against China and therefore increases international tensions and threats to peace.
This new alliance, which will see Britain and the US furnish Australia with the technology and capability to deploy nuclear-powered submarines, is a belligerent force that threatens peace and stability in the Pacific region.
The formation of Aukus comes at a time of increasing US hostility towards China. Following its humiliation in Afghanistan, the US is it stepping up its military focus on China.
