The US, Australia, and the UK are teaming up to counter China—without saying directly that this new alliance is to counter China. As part of the new alliance, called AUKUS, the US has agreed to sell Australia nuclear-powered submarines. This is significant because Australia is the closest of the three geographically to China. Watch this episode of China Uncensored for more on what this alliance means, how China has responded, and why this new alliance has angered France.

French President Emmanuel Macron will send his ambassador back to the United States next week after President Joe Biden agreed that consulting France before announcing a security pact with Australia could have prevented a diplomatic row, the two sides said on Wednesday.

Last week, France recalled its ambassadors from the United States and Australia and accused Biden of stabbing it in the back after Australia ditched a $40-billion defence contract with Paris for the purchase of submarines and opted for US submarines instead.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the new security pact involving Australia, the United States and Britain would not change New Zealand's security arrangement with the three countries.

New Zealand has been left out of the new tripartite security pact among traditional friends, which is aimed at focusing efforts to respond to China's rapid military expansion in the Asia Pacific.

Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta says the government has no interest in AUKUS, a pact between Australia, the UK and the US seeking to improve their military capabilities.

“That’s not something that New Zealand wants to be a part of. It doesn't exclude us from joining with those particular countries in other areas, as we continue to do for security and intelligence purposes,” said Mahuta.
