China's ambassador to New Zealand has heaped pressure on the government to open its borders in the wake of the novel coronavirus, stating she would protect "the interests" of Chinese students.

In a press conference in Wellington on Tuesday, ambassador Wu Xi downplayed the risk of the novel coronavirus outbreak in China, which she described as "generally under control" thanks to the "miracle" mobilisation of the Chinese state.

Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

Fuck off, if I have my way the restrictions would be for at least another month or two... and if virus outbreak happened here in New Zealand your Communist Party would have had instant travel bans and done even more... Stop trying to interfere with how we run our country... the safety of our people comes first before you pathetic excuses. 

So fuck off with your Communist BS.
