[COLOR="darkred"]Tạm dịch :
NỮ thủ tướng úc hiện đang công du bên nhật bản , đã ký hiệp ước liên minh quốc phòng với nhật bản , sau đó sẽ nâng cao hiệp ước liên minh quốc phòng với Đại Hàn . Theo thủ tướng ucs hành động này là để ngăn ngừa và đưa China vào khuôn khổ hành xử như một quốc gia biết điều theo luật chơi quốc tế .

Điều này khiến sự liên hệ giữa Úc và china trở nên căng thẳng . ( xin đọc thêm bản tiếng anh =>> ai rảnh dịch dùm ).

Tin thêm ngoài lề : Cách đây hai tuần , bộ trưởng quốc phòng Úc đã đề nghị ÚC phải tự chế tạo thêm 12 tầu ngầm để đối lại với lượng tầu ngầm hiện có của China ( úc đã có sẵn chục tầu ngầm , nhưng chỉ có 4 cái loại mới tự đóng , mang vũ khí và kết hợp với chiến thuật vệ tinh của Mỹ , vì hệ thống điện tử do mỹ gắn trị giá hơn 1 tỉ đô la ) , khi mà China càng ngày càng tỏ ra hung hãn , gây hấn với các nước chung quanh.

Gillard's defensive talk adds to China tensions

THE Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has moved to strengthen defence ties with Japan and will seek to elevate links with South Korea, adding to China's unease about new US-anchored security networks emerging on its borders.
Ms Gillard and Japan's Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, emerged from talks last night to instruct their governments to ''take forward … a vision for bilateral security and defence co-operation'', pledging to complete an intelligence-sharing agreement before the next foreign and defence ministerial consultations.
Ms Gillard indicated the pair would discuss security implications of China's rise over dinner.

''Australia and Japan have a shared perspective in our region,'' she said. ''We certainly are constructively engaged with China and we share the view that we want to see China become a full participant in the rules-based global order.''
Mr Kan was glowing about Australia's ''heartwarming'' support after the tsunami, in the context of the simmering nuclear crisis.
''Prime Minister Gillard's visit to Japan shows Japan is safe … her visit is more powerful than 1000 words,'' he said.
Ms Gillard will also seek to entrench regular defence talks with South Korea, probably based on the Japanese model, when she meets the Prime Minister, Lee Myung-bak, in Seoul on Monday, according to Tokyo sources.
''What Australia is trying to do is bring the security relationship with South Korea up to the standard with Japan,'' said Rory Medcalf of the Lowy Institute.
After that meeting Ms Gillard will fly to China, whose booming economy has insulated Australia from the global financial crisis and now accounts for more than a quarter of Australian exports.
''Yes, of course China is nervous,'' said Zhu Feng, professor of international relations at Peking University. ''We are afraid such bilateral arrangements will expand into a multilateral alliance system.''
China's display of a more aggressive foreign policy and military posture, especially last year, has prompted neighbours to respond with new US-anchored security networks and to strengthen existing ones.
Tomohiko Satake, a researcher at the National Institute for Defence Studies, wrote recently it was possible to interpret rapidly strengthening Japan-Australia security co-operation as a kind of ''hedging'', a strategy in preparation for the rise of China.
He noted Chinese analysts were concerned the triangular relationship, with the US at its core, could develop into an ''Asian version of NATO''.
Ken Jimbo, an associate professor at Keio University in Tokyo, said Ms Gillard's show of support to tsunami-ravaged Japan could help push forward plans for a four-way security dialogue involving the US, Japan, Australia and South Korea.
''Australia should be at the core of Japan's expanding sphere of defence co-operation,'' said Professor Jimbo, a security expert. ''This could be a very promising framework and, inside that, intelligence sharing will be the thing that moves it forward.''
This week China's Rear Admiral Yang Yi told the Herald that Australia's growing US-anchored defence links were not in Australia's national interest. But Professor Zhu at Peking University said such links would have ''some positive effect on China'' because it would make China's foreign policy actors less likely to be seduced into ''risk-taking policies'' in the region.
Last week the chief of US forces in the Pacific, Admiral Robert Willard, told a US Senate committee that China's navy had been less aggressive in its operations this year than last.
Ms Gillard told the Herald this week strong security links with the US did not have to come at the expense of relations with China.
The focus of Ms Gillard's visit to Japan is to show Australian solidarity with its people after the devastating tsunami and during the continuing nuclear plant crisis at Fukushima.
Ms Gillard and her partner Tim Mathieson were granted a rare reception yesterday in the residence of Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko, rather than at their palace.
''We met in the private residence because their majesties have taken the view … that it's appropriate for them not to also have the palace in operation, but instead to receive people in their private residence. So that is a power-cutting exercise,'' Ms Gillard said.
''They've determined to do in solidarity with the Japanese people who are experiencing periodic power disruptions,'' Ms Gillard said.
