  • The UK, US and Australia have announced a historic security pact in the Asia-Pacific, in what’s seen as an effort to counter China.

  • The Aukus pact, which will also cover AI and other technologies, is one of the countries’ biggest defence partnerships in decades, analysts say.

 

  •  The pact also created a row with France, which has now lost a deal with Australia to build 12 submarines.

 

  • The US is sharing its submarine technology for the first time in 50 years. It had previously only shared technology with the UK.

 

  • Australia will become just the seventh nation in the world to operate nuclear-powered submarines, after the US, UK, France, China, India and Russia. 

 

  • New Zealand, although a Five Eyes member, has been more cautious in aligning with either the US or China in the Pacific.
