China Ambassador Wu Xi warns New Zealand to stop prying into its ‘internal affairs’
China’s Ambassador to New Zealand has warned us to stop looking into its internal affairs after the Prime Minister singled out their treatment of Uighur people and Hong Kongers as examples of “different perspectives” between the countries.
Wu Xi spoke at the NZ-China Business Summit in Auckland on Monday morning, telling hundreds of delegates that the relationship between the two nations should not be taken for granted.
I’m not sure what is most concerning, China openly threatening us to look the other way as they crush Hong Kong, commit human rights atrocities against the Uyghur and steal territory in the South China Sea, (all under an Orwellian mass surveillance Authoritarian Communist regime) OR Jacinda’s weak and tepid criticism.
- China 'deplores, rejects' statement from Five Eyes expressing concern at events in Hong Kong
- 'Gravely concerned' New Zealand and security partners call for fair Hong Kong elections
- Chinese ambassador warns NZ to keep out of Chinese politics
- PM Ardern's calling out of China proves NZ 'won't engage in master-servant relationship'
The spinelessness our economic dependence on China is truly shaming for a Country that once pretended to have an independent Foreign Policy.
David Lange is turning in his nuclear free grave at our cowardice.
If allowing Dairy Farmers to continue selling milk powder to China is the price of our conscience, we should be ashamed to pretend to even be New Zealanders!
Thank Christ that level of acquiesce wasn’t awake when our soldiers fought Fascism.
It is unacceptable to simply ignore the enormous human rights abuses China is now openly committing and still do business with these people.
I don’t care if the Farmers get upset, their economic well being has shaped the last 100 years of NZ politics, they’ve had a good run, but being a sunset industry that will implode the moment synthetic milk powder can be produced at cost, why are we disgracing ourself with tepid criticism of real and genuine human rights abuses by our largest trading partner.
John Key’s pump and dump economic scam pushed all our cows into one Beijing paddock and the real price was our dignity.
