Abstract:The strategic anxiety of western countries led by the United States is increasingly serious in the background of China’s continuous development. On September 15，2021，the three English-speaking countries，the United States，the United Kingdom and Australia，established an “enhanced trilateral security partnership” named “AUKUS”，aiming to strengthen cooperation in the fields of military，security，cyberspace，emerging technologies，industrial chains，etc. Since then，the three countries have coordinated and consulted frequently，giving priority to the initiative of the nuclear-powered submarine. The main motives of the US include，by strengthening its relationship with its allies，implementing the “Indo-Pacific Strategy”，balancing China，and maintaining its military presence and influence in the Asia-Pacific. Australia’s main motives are strengthening the alliance between Australia and the US，enhancing its national defense capabilities，and consolidating Australia’s influence in the South Pacific region. The main motives of the UK are realizing the 2030 vision of “Global Britain”，highlighting the UK’s presence in the Indo-Pacific，and strengthening cooperation with the English speaking-countries. AUKUS has not been established for a long time，but it will exert important impacts on the security and order of the Asia-Pacific，as well as on China and other Asia-Pacific countries. Based on relevant information released by the three countries，AUKUS may have trends of vertical deepening and horizontal expansion in the future，but China and other countries in the Asia-Pacific will make different responses to them.
