Beijing is denouncing the U.S. government’s new “AUKUS” technology-sharing working group with the U.K. and Australia as a threat to peace in the Indo-Pacific region.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian on Thursday slammed the grouping as a reflection of “outdated Cold War zero-sum mentality and narrow-minded geopolitical perception” that "intensified" a regional arms race and harmed international non-proliferation efforts.

So the Treaty of Rarotonga doesn't allow Australia to have nuclear weapons? What does it say about China having them?

It appears nothing. They aren't a party to the treaty nor do they have any territory in the covered area. That's from a quick read on my part, though, so I may have missed something. Thanks for piquing my curiosity with that comment, though!
