Increasing numbers of Chinese war planes have flown into Taiwan’s airspace in recent weeks, raising questions about the island’s future. Why does this matter, and should New Zealanders care? National Correspondent Lucy Craymer explains.

Tensions in the Taiwan Strait increased markedly last month, when both China and Taiwan celebrated their national days, fuelling fears that Beijing could – as Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping has repeatedly hinted – move to take the island by force.

The recent announcement of a trilateral security partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America has highlighted New Zealand’s long-standing, wicked national security problem.  It is tied, in security terms, to protection from larger nations without the ability to influence them or even be invited to participate at all levels.  Economically, New Zealand is deeply engaged with China as its major trading partner.  This article traverses New Zealand’s three alignment eras, its lack of self-reliance and political inconsistency regarding national security.  Alternate strategic posture options and means of national security governance are suggested as possible pathways to resolving the country’s strategic identity conundrum.
