China says AUKUS is built on 'pure deceit' and will undermine regional stability. Read more of China's reaction here:

Australia will have nuclear-powered submarines within three decades.China has hit back at the $368 billion AUKUS submarine deal, warning it would accelerate an arms race in Australia's region.

"For their own geopolitical interests, [they] have totally disregarded the concerns of the international community and gone further down the wrong and dangerous path."Appearing with US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Mr Albanese said the agreement was the single biggest investment in Australia’s defence capability.

"I want to be clear to everyone from the outset, right off the bat, so there’s no confusion or misunderstanding on this critical point: these subs are powered, not nuclear-armed subs. They’re nuclear-powered, not nuclear-armed," he said.But Mr Wenbin dismissed that claim as "nothing but a high-sounding rhetoric to deceive the world".

But Mr Dutton said it was disingenuous for Labor to claim the spending, projected to cost between $268 billion and $368 billion by the mid-2050s, would have no short-term impact on the budget bottom line.

Unfortunately, it was due to China's hostilities to Taiwan , that this happened in the first place.

The entire CCP was built on deceit and still is till this day.

The Criminal Chinese Communist Party is rattled or they would of ignored the decision.

Deceit 😂🤣😂🥲 coming from China 🇨🇳 that’s a joke.

Here here!

Whatever, I'm off to the food hall.

Lol China is interested in 'regional stability'

China only understands force. The reality is that the US, Australia, the UK, Japan - in fact, everyone in Asia but China - want to preserve the status quo. It's China that is opposed to the status quo

China have been punishing the crap out of Australia for 2 years, of course I trust China.

As against building military bases in Phillipines sovereign waters

The country that has had the most rapid and massive build up of a complete war machine since Nazi Germany in the 1930s has issue with little old Australia having a few Subs in 20+ years (long after they have likely taken Taiwan back by force). FMD!

Australia is a democratic country, and this very dangerous nuclear facility needs to be decided by a referendum of all Australians. Otherwise, Aukus decision would be violation of international law and damage of democracy.

Blah blah blah

China must win the trophy for being the biggest hypocrite in the world.

China warns Australia is going down a ‘dangerous road’ following AUKUS announcementChina has warned Australia is going down a “dangerous road” following the historic AUKUS announcement. Chinese officials have been lobbying the International Atomic Energy Agency to oppose the nuclear submarine deal, which Beijing says raises the risk of war. “The three countries have gone further and further down a wrong and dangerous road for their own selfish political gains,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said. “In complete disregard of the concerns of the international community.” Commentators quoted in Chinese media were just as forthright, referring to the AUKUS agreement as an “expensive mistake”, a “time bomb for peace and stability” which turns Australia into a “US military base”. Eventually , china and australia will make a war China can go and jump. We don't care what they have to say.... Australia isn't Taiwan, or Hong Kong. You can't control us!!!! Go away China. Getting sick and tired of your hypocritical bluster.

Opposition welcomes the ‘evolution’ of AUKUSShadow Foreign Minister Simon Birmingham says the Opposition welcomes the evolution of AUKUS. US President Joe Biden, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak joined together at a joint media conference in San Diego, California, on Tuesday to outline details of the AUKUS subs deal. “We are proud of having been the government and parties of government that helped to deliver the AUKUS deal in the first place,” Mr Birmingham told Sky News Australia. “We’re pleased to see this next step delivery upon the taskforce work that we commissioned and outlining the next steps that will be undertaken in terms of Australia acquiring nuclear-powered submarine capabilities.” The greatest possibility is that when Australia got the first coveted nuclear submarine, the human war mode has undergone earth-shaking changes. Who is the biggest winner of this gamble? Obviously not Australia.
