There is only one way to look at the AUKUS deal that US and UK conspired to steal the submarine contract for supply of submarines away from France by offering nuclear powered partly American and partly British design. If France is hoping mad, then nobody can blame them. It is $90 billion lost business for France in next 15 years. Not only that, the French pride has been hurt. Nobody believes that with the addition of these nuclear submarines, Australia will be so strong that they would pose a challenge to Chinese perfidy in China sea. It is unlikely to happen. On the other hand it is a nuclear proliferation by both US and UK. So far there has been pro US publicity of this deal but soon opposition to this nuclear technology proliferation will take place all over the world. US/UK will be called as nuclear proliferator.

An Indian complaining about nuclear proliferation? That's rich. The French have no one to blame but themselves, did you even read the article? Regardless, the free world better toughen up, as there is a war coming, and the Chinese couldn't care less about feelings.

The French defaulted on the contract with repeated delays, and a lack of transparency into exactly what was causing the delays, and the fix action(s) to remedy them. Australia did nothing but exercise its RIGHTS under the agreement BOTH signed. The RAAN doesn't expect to face down the PLAN alone-that's a frankly ridiculous assertion. What it does do is send a message to the PRC, that after years of "Australia doesn't need to decide [about the SCS and economic/political fallout]" it's messaging to the PRC they've had enough. Militarily, it complicates the PLAN's ASW problem, which has been the least effective of its capabilities.
