NZ finally joins its Five Eyes partners in strongly opposing Hong Kong's new national security law. While the Government reviews its relationship with Hong Kong (and quietly shifts on China) pro-CCP leaders in NZ praise the far-reaching legislation, Laura Walters reports.

The Government is gearing up to overhaul its relationship with Hong Kong following the passing of a widely condemned national security law, which will crack down on citizens’ rights and breach the 'one country, two systems' arrangement.

Is the long China-New Zealand honeymoon finally drawing to a close?

New Zealand has for a long time benefited from a close relationship with China. Throughout the last decade the two countries have phased in the provisions of a free trade deal agreed to in 2008. China is now and has been for some time New Zealand’s second largest trading partner after only Australia. Exports of dairy produce, growing Chinese tourist numbers, and bolstered numbers of foreign students are all to New Zealand’s benefit.

The New Zealand Government has suspended its extradition treaty with Hong Kong and made a number of other changes in light of China's decision to pass a national security law for Hong Kong.

Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters said on Tuesday China's passing of the legislation has "eroded rule-of-law principles" and "undermined the 'one country, two systems' framework" that underpins Hong Kong's unique status.
