As a loyal ally of the US,Australia welcomes and supports the new “Indo-Pacific strategy”.Driven by this strategy,Australia aims to achieve its national interests and objectives through the comprehensive balanced strategy of the balance of major-country relations and the strategic balance between the two oceans,and aims to become an important leading force in the Indo-Pacific region.In the balance of great power relations,Australia has accelerated its cooperation with the United States,Japan and India to maintain the regional order established by the United States,emphasizing the coordinated construction of a secure,stable and prosperous Indo-pacific region,and safeguarding Australia's national interests.The “ Indo-Pacific strategy” is intended to hedge against China,but China as Australia's largest trading partner,the state economic and trade development has had a huge impact,although in recent years because of "China Threat" appeared many times within Australia,makes a stop-start Australia-Sino relations,swing Australia-Sino relationship has become in the short term will not change the facts,but Australia as a medium-sized country still need to balance the good relations with China,promote the bilateral mutual political trust,efforts to create a win-win situation.At the same time as the balance of major-country relations,there is also the strategic balance between the two oceans.The "Indo-Pacific strategy" has enhanced the status of the Indian Ocean.Australia's maritime strategic space is no longer confined to the Pacific Ocean,but has continuously turned its strategic attention to the Indian Ocean region.Australia is located in two oceans,and the deployment of Pacific and Indian Ocean strategies is helpful to its realization of regional medium-sized power.Australia in the face of new challenges at the same time,also need to pay for the implementation of the strategy of balancing huge energy,but can be deduced that the balance of Australia in the short term strategy will focus more energy into security defense cooperation with India in Asia countries,to improve its status in the international community,the ease of Australia in the face of increasingly complex Indo-Pacific region of anxiety and discomfort,but inevitably is Australia's strategic concept already subordinate west,so it is normal that "imbalance" occurs in the process of implementing the balanced strategy.
