“NATO must have a global outlook, ready to tackle global threats. We need to pre-empt threats in the Indo-Pacific, working with our allies like Japan and Australia to ensure the Pacific is protected, and we must ensure that democracies like Taiwan are able to defend themselves.”

“While there have been individual responses from UN member states such as the US, UK, European Union, and Australia, they haven't been sufficient to cause enough of an impact on the Myanmar military for them to change their thinking or to try and pressure them into rethinking this coup and whether it is in their interests or not. The UK could put forward a resolution, but so far we've seen China and Russia specifically - the other permanent members of the security council - they would veto any resolution calling for a global arms embargo, which is essential to end the oppression of the Myanmar people by this quite heinous regime.”

“I consider that Mr Djokovic's ongoing presence in Australia may lead to an increase in anti-vaccination sentiment generated in the Australian community, potentially leading to an increase in civil unrest of the kind previously experienced in Australia with rallies and protests which may themselves be a source of community transmission... Mr Djokovic's conduct after receiving a positive Covid-19 result, his publicly stated views, as well as his unvaccinated status, I consider that his ongoing presence in Australia may encourage other people to disregard or act inconsistently with public health advice and policies in Australia.”

“As the atrocities continue in the Uyghur Region, Tibet and Hong Kong, it is unthinkable that our state leaders will condone these Games. Our Government ministers must state clearly that they will not attend the Beijing Olympics. The US, UK and Australia have made the first move. There can be no excuse for Europe not to follow.”

“By focusing on Guam, Australia and the Pacific Islands, the US is admitting that China has become powerful enough to break the first island chain, so it is now stepping back to the second island chain. If the US still believes in its absolute strength, the US should enhance its deterrence in places like the Philippines, Japan, South Korea and the island of Taiwan in order to contain China. By staying farther away from China, the US has more defense lines and strategic depth, and this is an indication that the US is taking China very seriously as a powerful opponent.”

“While some people have questioned whether Washington's actions over the past year have convinced anyone that it would get involved in a Taiwan-China conflict, it is noteworthy that the US' Indo-Pacific strategy hinges upon the integrity of the first island chain. The fall of Taiwan would put US bases in Japan, South Korea and Guam at risk, and would make US allies in the region question its ability and resolve to protect its interests. Therefore, there should be no question that despite its official stance of maintaining 'strategic ambiguity', the US is exceedingly likely to use its military to defend Taiwan. It would also not be alone in doing so, with Australia, Japan and South Korea likely to join, bolstered by the forces in Taiwan itself, which the US has been training and equipping.”

“Support for Taiwan's bid would also send a strong message to Australian businesses impacted by China's recent boycotts of Australian products. Economic sanctions imposed on Australia by China reinforce the argument of engaging with Taiwan more closely and more deeply. Australia was Taiwan's third-largest source of agricultural goods, worth US$607 million last year, and the CPTPP [Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership] would provide structure to do business and enhance cybersecurity cooperation.”

“The PLA Rocket Force believes hypersonic weapons possess powers of deterrence unmatched by nuclear weapons that can alter the strategic balance and affect an opponent's intent and determination. Indeed, China's early interest in developing a hypersonic defense system demonstrates its concern over the U.S.'s development of hypersonic weapons. As a result, concerns over U.S. hypersonic weapons' development and missile deployments, along with revisions to the MTCR that enable allies and partners like Taiwan, Japan, and Australia to build long-range land-based offensive capabilities, could combine to alter Beijing's strategic calculus on arms control. President Reagan's secretary of state, George Shultz, believed that the U.S. deployment of short-range nuclear missiles in Western Europe played a key role in driving the former Soviet Union to join INF negotiations [Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty]. U.S. deployment of hypersonic weapons on either one of the Western Pacific island chains could induce Beijing to perceive a change in the strategic balance to its disadvantage, and compel it to participate in arms control negotiations with the U.S., Russia, and potentially other nuclear weapons states.”

“Its [China] relative power might have peaked with its population aging, its economy slowing and its finances creaking. It is quite possible that Beijing could lash out disastrously quite soon. I don't believe the United States could sit by and watch China swallow up Taiwan. I don't believe Australia should be indifferent to the fate of a fellow democracy of almost 25 million people.”

“The survival of the current iteration of the grouping across two US administrations and changes in governments in Japan and Australia speaks to [the Quad's] durability and how, you could say, the quad is here to stay. It's going to be a real institution … I think it's going to be a grouping that will occupy the minds in the planning of Washington's defence and diplomatic community for the coming years.”

“[The creation of AUKUS] It is seen as a significant incentive for Australia, which has long been standing as faithful partner for the U.S. in terms of countering China. South Korea was also given similar opportunities to join the anti-China campaign, but the Moon administration made its choice to stand neutral, which could cause mid- to long-term pressure on Seoul's diplomacy.”

“There is a deep sense of betrayal in France because this wasn't just an arms contract, this was France setting up a strategic partnership with Australia and the Australians have now thrown that away and negotiated behind the backs of France with two Nato allies, the US and UK, to replace it with a completely different contract. For the French this looks like a complete failure of trust between allies and calls into doubt what is Nato for. This puts a big rift down the middle of the Nato alliance … Britain needs a functioning Nato alliance. I think people underestimated the impact that this would have in France and how this would seem as a humiliation and betrayal in a year President Macron is running for election in a very tight race with the far right.”

“The agreement project initiated by the US and Australia was decided by a small group and I'm not sure US and Australian ministers knew about it. When we see the US president with the Australian prime minister announce a new agreement, with Boris Johnson, the breach of trust is profound. In a real alliance you talk to each other, you don't hide things, you respect the other party, and that is why this is a real crisis.”
