In a recent interview, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said the AUKUS alliance could act as a deterrent to China in the Taiwan Strait by working with submarines from other countries, and contribute to peace and stability more generally. Beijing responded by labeling Campbell's comments "dangerous." We ask what AUKUS means for Taiwan and how Japan and Canada may play a role.
