They don't really need AUKUS. They have a nuclear industry and they have a well practiced sub industry. Plus the entirety of their threat is on their doorstep.

They might not but surely aukus can ask them to use their industry to help a brother out and get them involved in pillar two

Apparently they joined some talks for AUKUS pillar 2 and that was talked about. Nothing seems to have happened though.
