Australia is deepening its security and military cooperation with the US in response to China's rising military power and influence in the Indo-Pacific, while simultaneously maintaining China as its largest trading partner, creating a complex strategic balance.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The growing US alliance opens new defence-related opportunities while increasing geopolitical complexity for trade-dependent businesses.
