Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has hit out at a 60 Minutes Australia commercial questioning whether New Zealand is betraying our trans-Tasman partner for a "fast Chinese buck". 

The promotional video advertises an upcoming episode looking into New Zealand's relationship with China. Including a deep voiceover, melodramatic background music and interviews with the likes of Mike Hosking, the advertisement suggests New Zealand is turning into "New Xi-land" and ditching Australia "for a fast Chinese buck".

EXPLAINER: New Zealand’s navy expects to join a British-led flotilla in a tour of the Indo-Pacific in the coming months, including passing through the contested South China Sea. Tensions in this region have been growing. Why does this bit of ocean matter, and why are we sending our navy there? National Correspondent Lucy Craymer reports.

Defence Minister Peeni Henare announced earlier this month he had spoken with his counterpart in the UK and the expectation was the country’s navy would be sending forces to join the flotilla. The trip will include port visits with friendly countries and training exercises.

A Chinese Communist Party spokesman has urged New Zealand to "make the pie of co-operation bigger", amid a flurry of speculation in Beijing that Foreign Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta is growing cold on China.

Mahuta, in an interview published in the Guardian on Tuesday, spoke about the prospect of New Zealand finding itself in the “eye of the storm” of economic retribution from China, as Australia has been.
