China has doubled down on criticism of a controversial security pact involving the U.S., UK, and Australia, warning that plans to expand the alliance to include Japan could escalate nuclear risks and destabilize the Asia-Pacific. 🔥 The Chinese Embassy in the UK called out the trio for advancing the AUKUS partnership despite global concerns, urging them to 'abandon the Cold War mentality.'
🇨🇳 A spokesperson stressed that blending advanced military tech—like AI and quantum computing—into the pact risks fueling an arms race. 'This isn’t just about submarines; it’s about carving the region into hostile camps,' they said. The first pillar of AUKUS focuses on nuclear-powered subs for Australia, while Pillar II aims to pull more nations into high-tech defense collabs.
\"Japan must learn from history and tread carefully,\" the diplomat added, referencing the country’s wartime past. 🌊
Regional analysts say the move could reshape Asia’s security landscape, with younger generations urging diplomacy over division. 🤝 Will geopolitics trump peace? Stay tuned.
