Chinese state media has warned Australia will become a 'potential target for a nuclear strike' after it acquires nuclear-powered submarines.As part of a new three-way alliance with the UK and US, Australia will be given the technology to build at least eight nuclear-powered - but not nuclear armed - submarines as the West counters China's growing assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific region.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said the 'AUKUS' alliance 'seriously damages regional peace and stability, intensifies the arms race, and undermines the Treaty

Sending nuclear technology to Australia is not the way to handle this. Who would be the clown in charge of it? General Milley? I would not trust our military leaders with a cap pistol. Biden is so unstable, he might launch something that only he sees.

All the more reason to stick with the new sub deal.

It's not so much the "nuclear" part as it is the fact that these subs are ultra-quiet, with the most advanced (non-nuclear) weapons systems, and are sophisticated in many other ways than just propulsion.
All ahead full.

Elections have consequences. Let’s see if Biden honors the deal after he finds out China is so upset.
Can you even imagine the discussions in the White House concerning these critical issues? Is Biden even there and if he is, can he speak coherently to offer any thoughts? This entire administration is not only a fraud, it is a danger to the entire world. However, the power mad democrats care nothing except for their insatiable lust for complete control and power even if it means tragic circumstances are a result. They are mental lightweights when it comes to responsible governance but are geniuses when it comes to corruption. It is their superpower. They have abandoned common sense and reason for their chance to totally transform this country into a totalitarian nightmare. So determined to succeed, they are willing to put the entire world in peril. If someone laid out the exact scenario we are experiencing, I honestly would think it was a plot for a new James Bond movie. It is that outrageous. Sadly, democrats have made the United States the evil villain.
The worst part? We have no recourse. We have to just sit here and watch it unfold knowing no one is going to stop this illegitimate dangerous regime. God help us.

Is this even "news"? China has made it clear that any country not named China is already a potential target for a nuclear strike. But hey, maybe General Milley Vanilli will get a friendly advance warning call from his BFF General Li.

We are going to build nuclear submarines for them. NOT nuclear weapons.

Hardly bone-chilling, we have been listening to nuclear threats since the fifties. Schools don't even practice the "hide under your desk" drill any more. Every country that has the bomb knows very well that it would be suicide to drop one anywhere in the world. But yes, we now have leaders crazy enough to do it.

Grown-up countries don't throw around nuclear threats like that. Child-like ones throwing a tantrum and infected with a sad inferiority complex do.

A silly headline. Of course, they will be a target. Submarines are where a navy's strength lies. Aircraft carriers have become obsolete in actual combat with the development of the supersonic missiles because a carrier group is unlikely to successfully defend against an onslaught of these missiles in actual battle. Carriers still work, however, in the projection of strength but it is awfully expensive to maintain. Regardless of who has what militarily, the rhetoric will continue to heat up because this administration and career diplomats are mentally incapable of diplomacy and negotiation.

#12 What would stop them is their inability to transport that many soldiers and equipment, that distance, undetected, and then subdue a member of the Commonwealth without provoking a hideous international outrage.
You know, the world doesn't have to trade with China, or allow it to bank in other countries, or allow its people to travel to other countries.
That is why China is resorting to this stupid Cold War style bluster.

China has already invaded Australia. That country is overrun with Chinese just like we are with Latinos.

Now that biden the cheater's Afghanistan disaster is out of the news cycle, Xi has nothing to worry about. He should save his breath and just prepare for the Taiwan invasion.

So the bioweapon release was not scary enough? Why are "global economy" corporate MBA's still sole sourcing the Chicom? A high school degree could figure this out and they would gladly accept the multi million dollar salary and tens of millions in stock options. Automotive with no electronic chips are the first to be replaced by common sense educations.

This should be the response, "screw you China". They fear one nuclear submarine could wipe out all of their 'Chinese junks' before they knew it. At the moment the Chinese are pretty embolden since the surrender by the American military in Afghanistan. The entire world is shifting and reorganizing China just wants to see smooth sailing and this upsets their plan.
Who will bling first the Chinese or AUKUS?

A second post after reading one comment it struck me that the face of the administration is Jan Paski that is about how their foreign policy acts. You might as well have Paski in charge of negotiation in a crisis that's how dumb all of them are. Have you seen Pelosi in action lately she's as bad as Joe Biden now.
For China to make this statement they are afraid of rejection by the world because they believe they control the economy those 'Made in China' labels aren't everything to everyone, they fear that.

Which, if Amerika had a real leader, would draw a retaliatory strike on them. Since we don't, they can rattle the saber with impunity.
China is deeply scared of US nuclear sub technology, with good reason. Our boomers and fast attacks are a hole in the ocean. The Aussie subs will not be armed with nuclear warheads, but they will be used for long-range cruise missile attacks which would be very effective against China and especially their shipping.

The only risk is from red China. so, we need their permission? Sounds like extortion to me. Are they setting up a protection racket?

But, but, but didn't Milley and Blinken both tell us that China is not our enemy??
I guess it depends on what their definition of "enemy" is.

Australia simply does not have the resources to develop the nuclear propulsion technology from scratch. Our Naval reactor designs are not going to be copied by the Chinese or the Russians since they already have their own different technology and are bound by their industrial capabilities and financial resources. The real technology issues are stealth, sonar and weapons system not the reactor systems or hull designs which we have been building since the late 50's.
Fortunately we still have Naval leadership that hasn't been corrupted and realizes the consequences of an uncontained China. The Biden administration is overjoyed they can shift defense expenditures elsewhere in order to finance their real agenda of destroying traditional America. Likely the Australians will only build a half dozen nuclear subs due to the cost, but they do have a sizable supply of uranium to barter. Even so, basing subs in the far Pacific changes the game so much so that the Chinese felt necessary to issue threats.
The Australians have been down this road in WWII and did not have a sufficient force to deter aggression. Even thought they have been a non-nuclear nation, they apparently realize they have to act.
