New Zealand will always be "predictable" in its dealings with China.
That's a promise from the Prime Minister who's flatly rejecting the most recent accusations from Beijing, as the dust settles from this week's trans-Tasman leaders' meeting.

Member nations of a Pacific regional trade deal agreed Wednesday to allow the U.K. to begin the process to join, Japan’s economy minister said, in a potential boost for the country’s trade following Brexit.
Yasutoshi Nishimura said the move would strengthen economic ties between the U.K. and Japan, as well as making the zone covered by the deal equal to the EU in terms of economic size.
