How will AUKUS Impact Thailand & the Rest of ASEAN?

The announcement of “AUKUS” – a tripartite “defense alliance” between Australia, the US, and UK – is an obvious provocation against China predicated on lies depicting China as a “threat” to the region and the world.

It is abundantly clear that the real threat to peace and prosperity in Asia is the US and its unwillingness to accept a rising China poised to surpass it economically.

What impact will US-led aggression against China have on its neighbors, namely Thailand and the rest of ASEAN?
