It's a new military alliance that's got reaction from around the world.
China has strongly criticised the U.S., Australia and the UK - after they announced a new deal that will see Canberra get nuclear-powered submarines.
But the alliance is pushing back against Beijing.
The U.S. Secretaries of State and Defense have met Australian officials and accused China of making expansive and illegal maritime claims.
