Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday said the AUKUS security pact between the UK, the United States and Australia, which will help Australia build nuclear-powered submarines for the first time without international supervision, will surely cause serious risk of nuclear proliferation.

In a phone conversation with UK's Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, Wang said that creating a new military group will trigger an arms race, provoke confrontation between major powers and undermine regional peace and stability.
