China fumes over Australia's nuclear submarine pact with US and Britain, saying the trio were 'severely damaging regional peace and damaging international nuclear non-proliferation efforts'
Beijing slams Western allies and their new alliance under which Canberra will acquire nuclear submarine technology, calling it"extremely irresponsible".
China has slammed a new US alliance with Australia and Britain, under which Canberra will acquire nuclear submarine technology, as an "extremely irresponsible" threat to regional stability. The Western allies did not mention China when unveiling the submarine deal on Wednesday, but their intent was clear, with each referring to regional security concerns.
The alliance is seen as a bid to offset China's growing economic and military reach in the Asia-Pacific region."The export of highly sensitive nuclear submarine technology by the United States and Britain to Australia once again proves that they use nuclear exports as a tool of geopolitical games and adopt double standards, which is extremely irresponsible," Zhao said.
