Australia’s intelligence chief and U.S. technology industry leaders pointed out that the “Australia, Britain and the United States Tripartite Security Partnership” (AUKUS) formed by the United States, Britain and Australia must cooperate in the development of quantum and hypersonic (extreme sound) technology in order to compete with China.

[Compile Zhou Hongwen/Comprehensive Report] Andrew Shearer, director of the Australian National Intelligence Service, pointed out on the 4th that “our long-standing technological advantages are beginning to fade, and in some cases, this advantage has disappeared.” , so that the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific region has begun to “shift away from the United States and its allies, undermining deterrence capabilities”. On the same day, Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of the US technology leader Google, also advocated that Australia, the UK and the “Australia-UK-US Tripartite Security Partnership” (AUKUS) announced a year and a half ago must cooperate in the development of quantum and hypersonic (extremely fast) Sonic) technology in order to compete with China.Schmidt, who currently serves as the chairman of the US non-profit organization “Special Competition Research Project” (SCSP), pointed out at the “Sydney Dialogue” (TSD) seminar hosted by the “Australian Strategic Policy Institute” (ASPI) that China is not like The Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War was “an autocratic rival run by technocrats, extremely capable of inventing a new future”.
Schmidt, who has been providing advice to the US Department of Defense in the field of artificial intelligence, emphasized that the core of China’s current development is drones, hypersonics and automation technologies, which may affect Australia’s defense spending decisions. But he believes that although Western allies and China may go their separate ways on key technologies, the two sides can still cooperate in other areas. “We will have a lot of non-strategic partnerships with China, especially Australia will have a lot of relative goods.” globalized trade … but there will be no agreement on a common standard for chips.”
Australian Defense Minister Marles said at TSD that in addition to purchasing a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines through AUKUS, members of the alliance will also share other defense technologies. Former British national security adviser Lovegrove also said that the UK is behind its own expectations in the field of hypersonic speed, and AUKUS will help achieve the goal.
Concentrate resources on joint development of quantum computers
However, Michelle Simmons, Australia’s top quantum computer scientist, pointed out that AUKUS will need to overcome cooperation obstacles such as foreign investment and visa restrictions, and urged the three countries to form a “joint mission” to develop quantum computers. It’s important to be at the forefront.”
