the time. but to say that we need a military alliance to counter china. i think that is very far as, as far as the south china sea, at the end of the japanese occupation, it was american washer, that carry chinese soldiers to those islands which have been traditionally part of chinese territory. when you buy the maps of the south china sea in before this house out, china see the dispute started the 9 dotted line was there, nobody was contesting these water countries. i was claiming he's already already planning on building on these islands. china was forced to do whatever needs to protect its territory. the most important thing is these disputes between china and its neighbors that it has a dispute with and we are solving these issues the, the, the code of conduct, hang on to have. everybody talked a little brain. don't know, please don't tell me. going to james. i'm going to go to games. now. hang on, hang on. i mean, i'd go to james here. we have a very limited amount of time. james, i'm glad that we know. and lucian have brought up the issue of these islands because what i find really puzzling and perplexing is it why, how i

china's behaviour. it started with its de facto annexation of the south china sea, is militarisation of reefs and islandsstion is, what does this mean for taiwan? the us government has made it very clear that it will support taiwan. the nightmare scenario for all of the us's allies in the indo—pacific is that they will be some kind of conflict over taiwan. it is not something that australia, orjapan for that matter, really look forward to. we are certainly not looking for a fight over taiwan. anybody starts a fight over taiwan. anybody starts a war over taiwan, a fight over taiwan. anybody starts a war overtaiwan, it a fight over taiwan. anybody starts a war over taiwan, it will be china. —— if anybody starts a war over taiwan. you would be right in saying that if the us provides this kind of technology to australia, there will be an expectation that we use it to support the us in the indo—pacific. there is also pretty cool quote in in these things. —— the question is will this alliance make it different, well it there would be the public and political will to stand up to chinese aggression if thatis sta

the other countries benefiting? well, they've got serious security concerns about china's activity. let's not forget, china is claiming large swats of the south. china sea are building islands out of the ocean. so it is important that every possible military capability can be brought to bear, to send a clear message. and if you will, a deterrent to china for getting overly aggressive for trying to intimidate some of those other countries in the region as well. that we have additional military support will feel the warm glow of the western alliance. and that may help to keep them on the side of democracy. human rights. and the hope is that china will have less influence in the region. it may be that france is not necessarily going to feel that warm glow that you were talking about because it looks like france is going to lose out on a quite a considerable contract to that. now, streaming will probably sign with the u. k. how do you think that that might impact what you know when you called the western alliance? but of course, frances, a western country, not part of this partnership. it isn't. and look, you're going to continue to see the squabbles over w

singled out china by name, but most analysts agree that the new deal is meant to contain china and its expansion across the south china sea. andrew: good ties with china was once a cornerstone ofustralian foreign policy, but while china remains the country's biggest trading partner, relations between the two have sunk to an with tit-for-tat msuresyears sparked by australian calls for an open investigation into the cause of coronavirus last year. beijing responded with tariffs on key australian exports. now, canberra appears ready to throw in its lot with washington and london to contain what it calls chinese aggression in the asia-pacific region. >> there was a time when australian leaders would say our security was tbe found in asia, not from asia, but this agreement does not look like that. it looks like a throwback. >> china has been rapidly building up its military in the region. there are also fears a military confrontation in the south china sea coulspiral into conflict. western countries are also wary of china's growing investnt in pacific island nations. in the short-term, ties between australia and china will sink even lower. the reement could also tie australia to u.

the other concern is freedom of navigation. so china has basically said there is a huge area of the south china sea right close to the borders ofy and secure at that freedom of navigation that china cannot say to people you need our permission to come through what the rest of the world considers to be international waters. i don�*t know if you remember that back—seat incidents with russia. if the chinese version of that basically with western powers and seeing hand on it cannot present this. but this is dangerous territory because china is an enormous economic power and they will retaliate in some form and they are embedded in telecom industries and financial and are embedded in telecom industries and financialand in are embedded in telecom industries and financial and in the economy and they nuclear power industry and there�*s a lot of things they could do to hurt the rest if they choose to. ., ~' , ., , do to hurt the rest if they choose to. . ,, , ., , . around 3000 health workers have been suspended because they have not been vaccinated against covid—19. a new rule, which came into force on wednesday, made vaccination manda

china's strengths in the region? well, i think 2 things. one is to send a message to china that if they keep being aggressive in the south china sea and, you know, taking over more and more of it, they're not, they're gonna confront, not just the united states, but the united kingdom and australia. it's also something that we did in the cold war when we had what we called and the united states, australia, and new zealand together to come back, what we saw the soviet expansionism in the, in the, in the region. so basically, i think this is to send a message in china, and i also think the timing is appropriate given what has just happened in afghanistan. people concerned about is the united states still going to be there? we need it. and the other thing is we supposedly did not check with our allies enough ganesh, than before we went out. this is a signal was still working with the british. are you still working with the british? perhaps the not the french, the french seem to be involved is just by the steel. it was 7, be friends working with the area to get these new submarines. do you think from a european mainland european perspective, they could still feel better because

of his base shutdowns back in 1997. do you think that we will see that this us reopen is based considering the escalation of tension that's happening in the south china sea? well, that's a great question, scotty. i think look, there's been discussion about it. even with this current administration, what's gonna happen with it is tbd. and to be clear, there has been some operation still happening there training, training, and otherwise that's occurred at that base since it was officially closed down for its intended purpose. it's, but i think the answer is yes, it shouldn't be opened. we shouldn't be taking a stronger national security posture. we shouldn't be protecting our shorelines and our american people in our interests. the question is, if it's done, is it being done for the right reasons and not just or some other, whether that you know, what passed the bank accounts with the new defense contract? i don't know. i all believe it when i see it. if it's actually been opened, but when it, if it is in fact open, i think there's a whole litany of other questions that need to be asked about why and what the intended purpose is are. and are we actually go

and the china does not have autonomy and control over the south china sea. but there have been a number of kind of military actions that have taken place in just the last couple of days that have been pretty serious. including the u. s. worship that traveled within 12 miles of a artificial chinese island in the south trying to see in china was furious about this so angry that some of its representatives as well as some of its state run newspapers, were calling for china to retaliate by simply sending warships within 12 miles of us bases in the pacific as well as within 12 miles of different u. s. allies. and then also there are reports of china actually sending the planes into ty ones airspace recently. that happened just for the last 24 hours. so there been a number of these issues that have crept up the problem right now for the binding. the ministration is that they need to have a reset because right now it's china is leaning pretty heavily into this face to what the us can and cannot do. you know, we've talked a lot about that again and then what's happening there. obviously the u. s.

the south china sea. right at the time when the china has empowered it's heavily on coast guard to use lethal force. where every claims jurisdiction, which is a great expense of the south china sea, and where it's now requesting information from vessels transiting us for regions, but on it's so this would action gap has led to this collapse and trust and really this strengthening of military to terrance in the region is welcomed quietly . i'm much of the region at no, i think i know how likely is china going to use this alliance to justify expanding its own military? well i, i don't see that china is going to be putting more effort than it already is into its military budget. there could be a call from yes, i can, i, there might be calls from the war ox to try and have budget happen. 800 juncture chance, not in return to this, but recently that is going to try to join the a former t p p. so i think china's response is going to be economic in terms of australia, this idea that australia is being constrained. actually it's, it's a monetary account is better than ever due to iron or exports to china. there are other areas that have been back. and, and will gentl

of france's presence in the indo pacific. this is a country, one of the two main european countries in the region that was conducting freedom of navigation operation in the south china seaation had said that he wants to work with european allies to confront china's assertiveness. the us says france is its oldest ally, and the defence secretary has spoken to his french counterpart to try to resolve their differences. it was clear from the discussion that there is still much work to do in terms of our defence relationship with france. i mean, more things to work on. that there are opportunities and shared challenges and shared interests that both ministers committed to continue to explore. the pact means australia will become only the seventh nation to operate nuclear—powered submarines, and it's widely seen as an effort to counter china's influence in the contested south china sea, where it has built up military bases on islands and reefs. for its part, china has accused the us, uk and australia of having a cold war mentality. courtney bembridge, bbc news. our correspondent hugh schofield has the latest from paris. we already knew the french reaction would be one of fury

china. there was a need for a reshaping of the in the pacific relationship, particularly when it comes to the defense capabilities, given the aggressions the u. s. ledgers of china in the south china sea. so this is certainly something that is controversial given the fact that if you know joe biden has not done a lot of the trump era policies with respect to china, they consider it to be a major concern. and so that escalation, that started prior to joe biden, taking office, just seems to continue to escalate. kimberly, how can live 1st there in washington? thanks. kimberly andrew simmons in london. so, and what is his stake here for the u. k? we know the primary, the boys, johnson was asked about the alliance in parliament. yes, he's pretty chuff, this is to him and to the rest of his government. a big win to have a deal with its close all of the states and australia, which is in the commonwealth to him. it's something that he wanted in post bricks in britain. he's out of do or pin union. now he wanted to have tre, ties with, with asia. defense goes with it. so he's trying to play down any adverse or serial intention against china. but clearly this alliance, which is, is totally new

the worst perception was in china. it warned of damage to regional stability, but the deal is being seen as a pushback against its own military buildup in the south china seahursday, the u.s. secretary of state join his australian counterpart to try to reassure allies that they would not be shut out. russell and jordan reports from washington -- russell and jordan reports from washington. roslyn: they reportedly agreed to form a defense alliance. washington and london will help by a fleet of nuclear powered submarines. the main reason for the alliance, containing china. >> we spoke in detail about china's destabilizing -- destabilizing ideas to coerce other countries. contrary to establish rules and norms. we will remain clear eyed in our view of beijing's efforts to undermine the established international order. >> discussed the competition of china that requires us to respond and to increase resilience. this does not mean that there are not constructive areas for engagement with china. australia continues to seek dialogue with china without preconditions. roslyn: not surprisingly, beijing condemned both the alliance and the simmering deal. -- submarine d
