A tighter security relationship between two US alliance partners has emerged in East Asia, coinciding with China's announcement this week of a 15 per cent rise in military spending this year.



Australia and South Korea have signed a statement of closer security co-operation, during a state visit to Australia by South Korea's President, Lee Myung-bak. Australia's Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has used the occasion to warn North Korea about its recent threatening behaviour. President Lee has taken aim at China, saying the region is too volatile for military build-ups.
