Information from the organisers
The announcement of AUKUS, the military partnership between the UK, the US and Australia, is a dangerous escalation in the West’s ongoing confrontation with China.
Talk of defending a ‘free and open Indo-Pacific’ is a thinly disguised threat to China that the three powers are going to contest its influence in the region by military means. The deal could also very well lead to the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
