SCMP/AFP: Australian PM warns China’s ‘unprecedented influence’ in Pacific is changing the balance of power and challenging US interests

* Australia – a member of the “Five Eyes” Western intelligence alliance – finds itself in the middle of one of the 21st century’s geopolitical hotspots
* Tension between Canberra and Beijing has been heightened by decision to bar Chinese telecoms firms from operating Australia’s new 5G network
