"Both nations pursue sophisticated hedging strategies that explain the meetings significance while acknowledging its limitations. Australias Calculus: Canberra cannot abandon a trade relationship representing 9-10% of GDP without severe economic consequences. However it equally cannot abandon US alliance protection given Chinas military trajectory and proximity to critical maritime trade routes. The solution: maximize economic engagement while accelerating military capability development. AUKUS provides the long-term answer to capability gaps while active diplomacy manages near-term risks."
