The fact that we have SSBNs that are actually working as Russia's slowly rot in harbor, and enough aircraft carriers to shithammer basically anything we care to point at suggests that no, our material power is still very much real. China decides to gently caress with us hard enough and SSBN Nebraska gets orders, and turns every city in china over 5 million people into the r/Sino version of Threads.

Most people just don't understand that while the cold war ended, we still have the ability to punch-gently caress literally any nation in the world into a soggy, burnt out husk without putting one pair of boots anywhere near them. Nothing backs up some trade deals like 'you know, if we really wanted to, we could kill like 70% of your population, then dare the rest of the world to say 'boo''.

You type very well with only one hand.

Why did China not want NZ to go into lockdown? And why was the NZ foreign minister's first call at the start of all this to the Chinese foreign minister?

Did China turn New Zealand into a client state?

The main party in the last government was (still is?) taking donations from the CCP. The current government has atleast made noise about (and probably actually) limited foreign (Chinese) land buying. Winston Peters has a long history of anti Chinese immigration rhetoric but last time he was foreign affairs minister (in government with the CCP lovers) he saw a free trade deal (with attached immigration clause) with China implemented.

Who said they were excited to see that? I'm the one who posted the article and most people were making fun of the CCP for doing its normal face-saving dance routine. No regular here would clap and cheer at 100,000,000 mainlanders dying because of the CCP's lovely games. 95% of this thread is making fun of the CCP and the culture it has instilled in the lost generation which leads to such dire situations in China.

Is this for real? Are you from NZ?

You should ask the NZ government offer more refugee status to HK young radical students who are too poor to immigrate out of HK, not some unrealistic trade "sanction" a tiny country like NZ is in no position to execute. I don't remember ever reading NZ's name in any of the "Five Eyes countries trying to sanction China" news.

I don't see New Zealand putting trade sanctions in place, China buys 29% of our exports.

The sanctions is only one of three requests. With our closed borders 2# is already hard. 3# is a "freebie".

Australia is in an undeclared trade war with China as well as a cyber war. They have tariffed barley 75% because they took the lead for simply asking to make an investigation into the virus. US is triggering specific Hong Kong sanctions and related to the Uighurs. EU has made d�nouements as have Japan and Canada. UK has the BNO as aggravatingly flawed as it maybe is the largest contribution thus far.

It's not that nothing is happening, it's that there is a clear lack of leadership that the US normally takes because you know, Bunker Bitch, virus or not. It's uncoordinated. Hence why I have this line

The thing is we are invariably going to "Hurt Chinese feelings" because No Why. With the pandemic our economies is almost decoupled. National is obviously feeling the pressure as they keep trying to open the borders with China in mind. Labour is already aware having specifically rebuked National on this.

The letter isn't so much a list of things I want as much as it is a set of policy options they no doubt are already considering. Any one of those would be great, the hidden 4# option is what I really want. Jacinda's leadership is bullet proof, more powerful than any direct action we can take. People overseas adore her. Certain things are going to happen, many things from many countries, what isn't happening is leadership.

No it hasn't.

(2020)We have lost all tourism and student dollars. It's only a matter of time till we get tariffs thrown at us because we voted one way or another and end up in a trade war like everyone else. Plus we got all the other trading partners. Australia is $14B in exports, 2 way $27B. China is $19B, 2 way $32B. Tourist is $2.79B China, $2.88B Oz. NZ is basically China's ~~bread basket~~ Milk Bottle. We can live without Chinese mobile phones instead get Taiwanese phones, they can't live without food. Even if they slap 100% tariff they are far more likely to buy our milk over some local stuff.

Total trade is $86B exports, 2 way $169B. Chinese $$$ isn't as big as you think. A lot of stuff that is made in China isn't made in China which is getting moved back home or other less hosed up places. As new numbers come out I expect any growth to flatten out if not decrease due to the virus as there is lag as things are ordered months in advance. Source is straight from the horses mouth.

https://statisticsnz.shinyapps.io/trade_dashboard/

Taiwan #1 is worth $1.5B, 2 way $2.5B for the curious.

China isn't some mega monster that can crush everyone. The problem is we are divided.

Your claim was that China and New Zealand's economies are basically decoupled. This is blatantly not true.
The statistics you post here highlight how dependent the NZ balance of payments is on China. We're roughly 7 billion in the black just in terms of China and about 3.5 billion in total. Obviously it's very difficult to predict what would happen in the event of trade between the two countries stopping but on the face of it without trade with China our balance of payments would be significantly in the negative.

Yeah no, I get that. My issue is that China's handling of the Uighur population isn't cultural genocide.

China has been proven to check more than half those boxes. This is straight up genocide plain as day. Calling it anything else is just muddying the waters.

Cultural genocide is straight up genocide. That definition includes cultural genocide.

I guess people would label what's happening to the Uighur population in China as cultural rather than physical genocide because it's incontrovertible.

I think the CCP probably does have a good side, like most modern governments. It's just heavily outweighed by the bad side. You don't need a nuanced approach or whatever to say it's good they build roads but genocide is unforgivable.
As to Chinese people who would suggest they are anything other than good and bad in different measures for different people, you know, just like other people?

There's no reason to use it instead of the synonymous (and far more common) "miserly" unless you're an internet racist between 2008 and 2016 and need a clever way to call Obama the Forbidden Word.

It's not a synonym but it's certainly used like one by 99% of people who decide to use it.
From the cambridge dictionary
"niggardly
adjective disapproving
UK /ˈnɪɡ.əd.li/ US /ˈnɪɡ.ɚd.li/

slight in amount, quality, or effort:"

Edit: to be clear I agree it probably doesn't need to be used.

I guess we haven't seen ideal communism but I think we have seen an at least partially genuine attempt to apply it to agrarian societies, and I think it's generally helped those societies to transition to something like western capitalism.

The investigation could have been called for by anyone, regardless of their integrity, and the PRC would have cried about it just as hard. They're offended by the fact that another country would call their official word into question, not the unspoken motivations of the Australian PM. Your concern about him is legitimate, but it's not what the PRC is complaining about and thus is a derail from the conversation.
