• 
  The two countries on Friday, in a statement after Australia-US ministerial consultations, expressed concern over China's "expansive maritime claims in the South China Sea that are without legal basis", and stated their intention to strengthen ties with their "critical partner" Taiwan.
  "This petty move to put pressure on China will be of no avail but a staged farce," a spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Canberra said in a statement.
  The comments from Australia and the United States came a day after they announced a nuclear submarine deal as part of a security partnership that includes Britain, which China denounced as intensifying a regional arms race.
  Australia and the US also criticised China's imposition of national security legislation in Hong Kong last year that they said had weakened its electoral system, suppressed media freedom, and undermined the former British colony's "one country, two systems" formula, agreed when it returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
  Why Australia wants nuclear submarines
  
  Australia has announced a plan to make the Navy's next submarine fleet nuclear-powered. So what's so special about these subs — and why are we doing this?

  They expressed "grave concerns about China's "campaign of repression against Uyghurs", a mostly Muslim ethnic minority in western China's Xinjiang region.
  The Chinese embassy dismissed their accusations as a futile pressure tactic.
  "We firmly oppose and reject the unfounded accusations and erroneous remarks against China on issues related to the South China Sea, Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other China-related issues," the embassy's statement said.
  Taiwan's government welcomed the show of support from Washington and Canberra.
  "Our country's government will, on the existing solid foundation, continue to work closely with the United States, Australia and other like-minded countries to expand Taiwan's international space, defend the democratic system and shared values," said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Joanne Ou.
  Speaking after the meetings in Washington, Australia and the United States also announced expanded military cooperation, including rotational deployments of all types of US military aircraft to Australia.

its clear what the chinese have to do.
supply Pakistan with nuclear submarines as tit for tat.

No offense, but I don't think Pakistan has the budget to purchase and operate nuclear subs.

And about the time when China launch her first space warship the first SSN for Australia will delivered after all the technique delays and cost overruns.

 

[Shehryar Ashraf]

No offense, but I don't think Pakistan has the budget to purchase and operate nuclear subs.

it was meant as a joke.

 

[S10]

it was meant as a joke.

It's unfortunate though. If Pakistan's economy was better, it could easily afford to operate half a dozen nuclear subs. Their speed, endurance and lethality cannot be matched by conventional subs.

We are already getting advanced AIP diesel subs from China which are enough for our needs.

 

[kingQamaR]

USA is not going to be deterred by any of Beijing angry statements. USA U.K. are coming and building against China. the only good reliable partner it has is Pakistan. I don’t know what China is waiting for they should finance a potent Pakistan naval to guard its interests by knocking its rival india out

diesel subs are meh.

nuclear subs can stay submerged for months, basically until food supplies and oxygen run out, the nuclear sub can run for up to 30 years without refueling, which means that it has a longer range to travel. diesel subs cannot venture far from port as it would need to refuel, a nuclear sub does not have the problem.
a 2nd strike threat is only really credible if delivered from a nuclear submarine.

 

[IceCold]

No offense, but I don't think Pakistan has the budget to purchase and operate nuclear subs.

Sooner or latter we will have to come up with a budget. I hope we do it sooner.

 

[KAL-EL]

Australia should it choose, should be armed to the teeth.

 

[redtom]

It doesn't sound angry at all.

 

[SIPRA]

USA is not going to be deterred by any of Beijing angry statements. USA U.K. are coming and building against China. the only good reliable partner it has is Pakistan. I don’t know what China is waiting for they should finance a potent Pakistan naval to guard its interests by knocking its rival india out

I believe that China's assistance to Palistan will remain, by and large, limited and constrained, primarily, for the reason that China doesn't feel any real threat from India. China's real target is US, along with it's core allies.
