The French are furious because the Australians canceled a contract with them for many billions of dollars worth of conventional submarines.

France might have planned employment for their people with the deal but they have delayed the implementation of the deal and increased the price of the submarines. So, Australia moved to the United States. Conventional submarines are silent than nuclear submarines but have a short-range. Also, Australia stands with the United States every time which makes China angry and China is the largest trading partner of Australia.
