Australia must deploy ‘unconventional’ means to deter China

AUSTRALIA must learn from past guerrilla insurgencies and adopt an “unconventional deterrence” policy in facing down threats from China, Russia and elsewhere, one of the country’s leading think tanks said this week.

Australia, under the tripartite AUKUS pact with the US and the United Kingdom, will acquire at least three Virginia class submarines from the US within 15 years, with an eye to eventually build its own.

Until then Canberra faces a major gap in its defences, warned the report by the nonpartisan Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), which receives funding from Canberra’s defence ministry as well as the US State Department.
