Description: After years of nervously watching China's growing assertiveness – and economic coercion – Australia is pushing back. Scott Morrison has called on old friends – the United States and the United Kingdom - drawing them more deeply into the region and sending a message of deterrence to Beijing. A new alliance – AUKUS - has been born. And the first step in this new partnership is a huge one – Australia will now move to nuclear-powered submarines. Labor has cautiously backed the move. The French are furious their submarine deal has been sunk. And China says this gravely undermines regional peace.
