‘In September of last year, professor Anne-Marie Brady of New Zealand’s University of Canterbury published a detailed report on China’s intelligence activity to guide, buy, and coerce political influence on a global basis, with emphasis on New Zealand. Brady’s work was extremely effective because she is fluent in Mandarin Chinese, and she based her research on Chinese-language media both inside and outside of China.’
By 2030 the Pacific will be a Chinese lake.
Alas. So many like cheap trinkets that we will just suck it up. Comrade Clarkula will be happy as a pig in shit as will her political offspring.
Yep.
National sold out to China too, especially under the Key regime. Sigh. Maybe Winston as PM will save us…? (not)…
Look up a book….”In The Jaws of The Dragon” by Ron Asher. Anyone will be surprised at the influence and ownership of the chinese in our country
NZ used to be a farm for Britain, then a military base for the USA, then a golf course for Japan and now a suburb of Shanghai.
So true Cadwallader. New Zealand is seen by so many as the most beautiful country on the planet, and coveted by all. It has become a battleground in ideological wars, ethnic wars, trade wars, and imperial wars. Not many shots fired. Yet.
There were plenty of shots fired here in the nineteenth century between the locals and the British. I grew-up knowing them as the “Maori wars” but now it is preferred to call them the “Land wars.”
This is a few years old, but still relevant. Maybe before 2030, at this rate.
