Academic calls on Canada, NZ and Aus to look at China's Incursion

[tay]

New Zealand's new government ought to take a fresh look at the country's relationship with China, argues University of Canterbury professor of political science Anne-Marie Brady.

In a paper published on Tuesday Brady says New Zealand, alongside other nations, is being targeted by a concerted foreign interference campaign by the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

"The campaign aims to gain support for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) government’s political and economic agendas by co-opting political and economic elites. It also seeks to access strategic information and resources. China’s efforts undermine the integrity of our political system, threaten our sovereignty, and directly affect the rights of Chinese New Zealanders to freedom of speech, association, and religion," says Brady.

Brady goes on to say China’s "covert, corrupting, and coercive political influence activities" in New Zealand are "now at a critical level."

"The new Labour-New Zealand First-Greens government must develop an internally-focused resilience strategy that will protect the integrity of democratic processes and institutions, and should work with other like-minded democracies [such as Australia and Canada] to address this challenge."

China probably looks on New Zealand and Australia as their rightful territory, full of potential round-eye slaves.

...and are about to use British tactics to get access to them.
(though only hanging with fellow communist orphans like OZ and Canada who are also on the road towards soros funded tyranny, would help preserver NZ's delicate morals)

They have an MP who used to teach at the Chinese spy school.

Jus' sayin'.

This is all under the heading of "doing business".

All countries we do business with do this to us , and we do it back.

Notice the tips from the motherland never affect them directly yet the step, if taken, would be a hardship for the Walmart shoppers in those countries. Perhaps the motherland should sit back and take some notes to fix the things they didn't do right when they had their shot of world domination. (that they can't sit back might be one of the bigger reasons the motherland is such a failure today)
