However, a second pillar is focused on delivering advanced capabilities and sharing technologies across a range of areas including quantum computing, undersea, hypersonic, artificial intelligence and cyber technology. It said Aukus members had long been clear on their intent to involve other countries in the second pillar, and that it would take into account factors such as “technological innovation, financing, industrial strengths, ability to adequately protect sensitive data and information, and impact on promoting peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region”.Japanese chief cabinet secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said earlier on Monday that nothing had been decided about co-operation with Aukus.

“If we can’t integrate with the UK and Australia on something as important as Aukus, there is no chance to do so with Japan whose security apparatus is still in a peacetime mode and immature,” said Mr Greenwalt, now a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
