They heard there were a couple of old coal mines in Taiwan. On a serious note, Australia is getting nuclear power capability. They aren't getting nuclear weapons capability, not that I'd mind them having it. The submarine deal with the French was an absurd deal where nuclear powered submarines were downgraded to diesel/ electric power at a greatly inflated cost to change the power plant. So downgrade power and capability and pay more just to pacify some tree huggers who go "oh dear, we're using nuclear power!" But these same folks also cry about climate change, which nuclear power would greatly reduce. And they'll sell coal to China to fuel that climate change. 🙄
