On September 15, 2021, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States came together to establish a multifunctional military alliance known as AUKUS. The alliance's primary objective was to increase the level of collective security in the Indo-Pacific region. As a result of this alliance, Australia will get long-range strike capabilities from the United States and the United Kingdom. These long-range strike capabilities include air force, navy, and army capabilities, as well as nuclear submarines and nuclear fuel. An immediate response is made against China by the establishment, which believes that the creation of the alliance was an irresponsible move. As a result, the purpose of this study paper is to investigate the AUKUS as a potential counter-approach to China's aggressiveness in the vicinity of the South China Sea. This research work obtained its data from a variety of internet sources, including scholarly publications and papers, official websites, and archive research. This study paper deepens the research that has been done regarding the goal of the establishment of AUKUS, and it also investigates to what extent the trilateral agreement has an influence on China's aggressiveness in the South China Sea as a whole.
