Philippines supports Australia nuclear sub pact to counter China - HosePredo - 09-22-2021
MANILA, Sept 21 (Reuters) - The Philippines is backing a new defence partnership between the United States, Britain and Australia, hoping it can maintain the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific region, a view that contrasts sharply with some of its neighbours.
Known as AUKUS, the alliance will see Australia get technology to deploy nuclear-powered submarines as part of the agreement intended to respond to growing Chinese power.

Australia may get nuclear submarines in 25 years under this deal. Zero military pertinence currently, but it does its job of saber-rattling.
