There is more to it than that what this poorly written article says...

New Zealand can not afford to go in to any form of trade war, especially when the US is not offering any decent trade deals with NZ to counter our China Deal... It would break us. 

New Zealand has already condemned the security law, and we will probably do a separate statement. Our Minister for Foreign Affairs, Minister Nanaia Mahuta has stated on her twitter that they are deeply concerned and already signed a joint statement on Hong Kong...

The thing is we all know words are nothing unless action follows... and there has been no follow through on any of the words that have been spoken and the CCP know this.
