Chinese influence in New Zealand politics

Version 0.34 (2024-08-14 13:46:40.994000)

updates: The story now includes information about a former RCMP analyst alleging Chinese infiltration in Canada and the covert takeover of Chinese media in Vancouver, British Columbia. It also highlights the case of Yang Hengjun, a Chinese-Australian writer sentenced to a suspended death sentence for espionage charges, and the sentencing of Yuan Keqin, a former professor in Japan, to six years in prison for spying for Japan. The story emphasizes the lack of transparency and fairness in China's justice system and the international community's calls for greater respect for human rights and adherence to the rule of law in China. The story also raises questions about the extent of Chinese influence in New Zealand politics and the need for countries to protect their democratic processes and national security from foreign interference.
