NZ has never looked more isolated. The rules-based international order is being vaporised. The alliances that guaranteed NZ security since the end of WWII are finished. A new order is forming in Europe, but NZ is not yet named among the like-minded states. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3606...

China's message to Australia and NZ: we can cut off your air and sea links in the Tasman without warning. China's aggressive act is a shot across the bow to Australia/NZ, but also the countries of the South West Pacific. thediplomat.com/2025/02/a-sh...

China and Cook Islands will partner on maritime infrastructure, hydrography, and disaster cooperation that would allow China to bring in military forces. The Cook Islands will now have to consult with China to coordinate policy before attending regional meetings. thediplomat.com/2025/02/cook...

Cook Islands, along with Niue and Tokelau, is part of the Realm of NZ. The Realm is like a Monroe Doctrine, but one with no teeth. NZ lacks any credible military and financial might to defend it, and China is steadily picking off the member states. thediplomat.com/2025/02/cook...

In 2024, 33 NZ police went on a "cultural competency" trip to China. The visit was organised by CTS, in charge of PRC political tourism. A CCP united front work official met with the group, a senior ufw leader travelled with them. What could go wrong? www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3605...

New RNZ report on VFIL, owned by PRC citizen, resident in NZ, whose forestry workers dress in PLA uniforms while logging in strategic Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu. Vanuatu govt now say the wood is for paper; PRC media says it's for furniture. Why is the land being cleared? www.rnz.co.nz/internationa...

1990: Labour Māori Affairs Minister Koro Wētere answered question posed by Winston Peters in te reo Māori--without translation into English being provided. Peters raised Point of order. The Speaker of the House said under Standing Orders no translation required. www.ngataonga.org.nz/search-use-c...

Disturbing to observe Acting PM Winston Peters refuse to answer a question addressed to him in te reo Māori in NZ Parliament today. NZ has two official languages: te reo Māori and NZ sign language. The Waitangi Tribunal ruled te reo is a taonga (treasure) that NZ governments are obliged to protect.

Political resistance via cartoons/漫画 has a strong tradition in China. Popular magazine “Selected Essays”《杂文选刊》was closed down this month for publishing a cover image of a fat hand that looks like that of Xi Jinping, instructing faceless people to jump off a cliff. chinaheritage.net/journal/othe...

The swearing in of Aotearoa NZ Parliament today is surely a golden moment for connoisseurs of the NZ accent. Most NZ MPs have now formally sworn their allegiance to King Charles' "ears" 👂👂 They meant to say his "heirs" 👶 but it takes a lot of care to say that in NZ English. youtu.be/cMh5jQ_AoC0

New crop of Aotearoa MPs sworn in to NZ Parliament today. Very cool to listen to Green MP Lan Pham read her pledge in te reo Māori, then Vietnamese. Definitely a first in NZ Parliament. Dan Bidois NZ National Party swore allegiance to "Her/His Majesty". Surely also a first 😂 youtu.be/cMh5jQ_AoC0

Judith Collins will be Aotearoa NZ's next minister of NZSIS, GCSB, Defence, and Space. Todd McClay is Minister of Trade. With Winston as Foreign Minister. External Relations and Security Cabinet meetings will be interesting.
