Australia’s Defence Minister Pat Conroy is sounding the alarm in the U.S. over China’s secretive military expansion, especially after a recent nuclear-capable missile test in the South Pacific that sparked regional outrage. Conroy emphasized the lack of transparency from Beijing amid rising global tensions, while also highlighting Australia’s growing alliances — including a new defense pact with Fiji — to bolster regional security. He reaffirmed full confidence in the AUKUS submarine deal with the U.S. and UK, citing Australia’s major investment in U.S. shipyards and on-time progress on Virginia-class submarine transfers. With China’s assertiveness escalating, Australia is doubling down on defense partnerships to secure its strategic future in the Indo-Pacific.
