This week\u2019s annual\u00a0Australia-US ministerial (AUSMIN) talks<\/a>\u00a0took place within the fraught context of a world growing in enmity and anxiety\u2014but no longer economically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US ambassador to Australia, Arthur Culvahouse Jr,\u00a0described it as<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

one of the most consequential AUSMIN meetings in decades.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Certainly, the Australian team went to unusual lengths to participate. Foreign Minister Marise Payne, Defence Minister Linda Reynolds, Defence Force Chief General Angus Campbell and their teams will all have to quarantine for 14 days on their return to Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo noted the commitment to travel to the US during the coronavirus pandemic,\u00a0saying<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

not many partners will do that for us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That effort appears to have been acknowledged in the comparative weight of Australian concerns and priorities in the statement<\/a> released today following the talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Euan Graham, a senior fellow for Asia-Pacific security at International Institute for Strategic Studies, told me this bears the stamp of \u201cpretty proactive drafting from the Australian side\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement reflects broader interests than in previous AUSMIN talks\u2014including a strong section on COVID-19\u2014and omits any mention of the Middle East. Instead, it focuses heavily on the Indo-Pacific region\u2014Australia\u2019s region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To satisfy the US side in return, China is named-and-shamed considerably more than what is usual for the Morrison government. Concerns about the fate of Hong Kong under its new National Security Law<\/a> and of the Uyghurs in China\u2019s western Xinjiang region<\/a> are spelled out strongly in the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia and the US \u2018don\u2019t agree on everything\u2019<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Payne stressed<\/a> after the talks that while Canberra and Washington share many values,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t agree on everything. We are very different countries. We are very different systems, and it\u2019s the points on which we disagree that we should be able to articulate in a mature and sensible way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

She also emphasised the importance of Australia\u2019s relationship with China, saying<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we have no intention of injuring it, but nor do we intend to do things that are contrary to our interests, and that is the premise from which we begin.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Of course, this comes days after\u00a0Australia\u2019s strongest statement yet<\/a>\u00a0on the legality of China\u2019s effective annexation of the South China Sea\u2014a declaration that drew a rebuke from China\u2019s Foreign Ministry.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Washington talks did not see Australia take the further step the US has sought, to\u00a0support its freedom of navigation operations (FONOPs)<\/a>\u00a0by sailing within the 12 nautical miles of the artificial islands China claims in the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may have reflected a reluctance to embark on a striking new military direction with a US administration that may be replaced in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia will continue to sail naval vessels through the South China Sea, including in collaboration with the US Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This move is supported by the Labor opposition, with defence spokesman Richard Marles\u00a0saying<\/a>\u00a0it reflects \u201ccore national interests\u201d. Some\u00a060 per cent of Australian seaborne trade<\/a>\u00a0passes through the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham, however, says he would be \u201csuper-surprised\u201d if the Australians pursued a FONOP on their own, though less surprised, if they did with a flotilla of other countries\u2019 navies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alliance shifts in focus to Australia\u2019s concerns<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The US team indicated its approval of the\u00a0recently announced A$270 billion upgrade<\/a>\u00a0of Australia\u2019s defence force\u2014a shift in line with the Trump administration\u2019s urging of US allies to become more self-reliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morrison framed this upgrade within three aims: to more effectively shape the strategic environment, deter actions against Australian interests and respond with credible force when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This also reflects, Graham says, a broader move to refocus Australian defence towards South East Asia, the Pacific and India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outstanding exception to this new focus, as reflected in the AUSMIN talks, is Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The self-governing island is perceived to be coming under more imminent threat<\/a> from Beijing, which claims it as its territory. The US and Australia affirmed Taiwan\u2019s \u201cimportant role in the Indo-Pacific region\u201d and indicated their support for its membership in international organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than reflecting a hard defence and security focus, though, the AUSMIN statement prioritised the global response to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham believes this is \u201can Australian win\u201d since the US has lagged in global leadership on the pandemic. The new funding pledged for post-COVID recovery in the Pacific is not massive\u2014but the elevation of health concerns indicated this will now become more central to global security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the talks indicate that as American concerns about the China challenge rise\u2014among Democrats as well as Republicans\u2014the Indo-Pacific is becoming ever more important, with Australia providing a crucial southern anchor for potential US force deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also make clear that while the US-Australia alliance remains rock-solid, Canberra will continue to plot its own course. It will approach issues like China trade, relations with the World Health Organisation and other multilateral agencies, and climate change in a strikingly different manner from the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beijing, for its part, will continue to portray Canberra as an American \u201clapdog\u201d<\/a>, while at the same time seeking to do what it can to prise the alliance apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this rhetoric is failing to win any policy traction, despite the instability of the Trump White House. Nor is China\u2019s \u201cdeep freeze\u201d of Australia. As Morrison has said, he\u2019s \u201cnot waiting by the phone<\/a>\u201d for an invitation to the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, Chile\u00a0reportedly chose<\/a>\u00a0Japan\u2014not China\u2014to build the first fibre-optic cable connecting South America with the Indo-Pacific, following the completion of a submarine cable between Japan and Australia this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All are members of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which Trump quit<\/a> soon after his inauguration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such moves underline\u2014as does the AUSMIN statement\u2014the growing complexity and challenges of the post-coronavirus world, not only for Washington but also for Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
