TRIAD will give Australian Navy more teeth - Punch Newspapers

A new trilateral security partnership has been formed between the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia to counter China. The key feature is that Australia will receive assistance in building a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines. This is a major blow to Chinese power in the region.

Though Biden didn’t take China’s name directly, he mentioned that the initiative, including the submarine plan, was important to ensure the three nations have the state-of-the-art technology to defend against “rapidly evolving threats”. Clearly, this statement was aimed at China, given the recent disagreements between the US and China on issues such as the South China Sea, Taiwan etc.

While Australia would get access to nuclear propulsion technology, it will not develop nuclear weapons. Up till now, this tech has been shared by the US with the UK. These submarines would not be armed with nuclear weapons. Australian PM Scott Morrison took a shot at China by saying that the allies had to elevate their partnership to a new level because of the increasingly complex environment in Asia.
