China heavily criticises New Zealand for 'ulterior motives' after Biden meeting & More Trending News

Chinese officers in Beijing and Wellington have warned New Zealand “all is not rosy” with its largest buying and selling accomplice, heavily criticising New Zealand for creating “disinformation” with the United States.

The outstanding criticism from Beijing got here after Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and US President Joe Biden met on Wednesday morning (NZT), and issued a joint assertion which expressed “concern” that China would possibly set up a army presence within the Pacific, and listed “grave concerns” of rights abuses in Xinjiang and Hong Kong.

The assertion additionally stated New Zealand and the US would increase its defence co-operation as “the security environment in the Indo-Pacific evolves”.

China overseas ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian, at a press convention on Wednesday night, spoke at size concerning the NZ-US assertion, saying it “distorts and smears China’s normal cooperation with Pacific Island countries” and “deliberately hypes up” China’s inner points.

“The hype-up of relevant issues in the joint statement by the US and New Zealand is out of ulterior motives to create disinformation and attack and discredit China.

“The real security threat is that the US has cobbled together military blocs in the region, stimulated an arms race and brought nuclear proliferation risks to the South Pacific.”

He stated China urged the US to “abandon its Cold War mentality” and hoped New Zealand would adhere to its unbiased overseas coverage.

A extra delicate displeasure was expressed by China’s ambassador to New Zealand, Wang Xiaolong​, in a speech given at a closed-door meeting of the NZ China Council on Tuesday, previous to Ardern’s meeting with Biden.

China’s embassy in Wellington revealed a transcript of Wang’s speech on Wednesday afternoon.

He stated there was “ample reasons” to be pleased with the connection, and although there may be “slower or faster patchers or even blips … two-way trade and investment have much further to go in the coming years and decades”.

“All is not rosy, however. Indeed, the relationship has got its fair share of challenges, the foremost of which is the way we address the differences between us,” Wang stated.

“It is no surprise, nor any secret that some of these differences are inevitable, given the divergence between us in historical and cultural backgrounds and levels of economic development.”

He stated New Zealand’s fame as a “green, clean, open and friendly country” in China was “arguably the most potent marketing tool for all products and services from NZ”.

“A mutually positive public opinion is arguably the strongest of all pillars for the edifice of this important relationship.

“We have to keep in mind, though, that this asset of ours did not come out of nowhere or as a matter of course, but has been slowly built up with hard work over the years from both sides. Nor can it be taken for granted.”

Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta had her first meeting with Wang on Wednesday.

She stated the meeting was not associated to the NZ-US assertion, and the pair “canvassed a range of issues in relation to the Pacific, the bilateral relationship, the fact that we are recognising 50 years of a relationship with China”.

“Our position is very much based on our own values and interests. So we uphold our independent foreign policy.”

Dr Jason Young, director of Victoria University’s Contemporary China Research Centre, said it was new for a Chinese ambassador to describe “mutually positive public perception” as a strong pillar of the NZ-China relationship.

“The argument he is making is that public opinion in New Zealand and in China are vital for sustaining a steady relationship and subsequently, probably, as public opinion has shifted right here, that makes it tougher for the connection.”

The notion of New Zealand in China, and in its media, was totally different to that of Australia and the US, he stated.

“There’s been a view that it’s been promoted within Chinese media and some official statements that New Zealand has an independent foreign policy and is therefore making its decisions based on its own interests … the interpretation of Ardern meeting with Biden in the White House and making a joint statement kind of goes against that to some degree, and therefore was heavily criticised.”
