The Chinese government is heavy into soft power in NZ.

2019-11-27 04:40:30 UTC  

It gave a preferential free trade agreement it wouldn't give other countries.

2019-11-27 04:40:44 UTC  

Which has a good and bad side.

2019-11-27 04:41:46 UTC  

Kinda NZ was meant to be a showpiece for China, or at least thats how China has portrayed it aka as the 'first free trade deal with a developed economy'.

2019-11-27 04:42:27 UTC  

The problem with that is Huawei wants to get a stake in NZ's critical infrastructure.

2019-11-27 04:42:35 UTC  

And NZ is in Five Eyes.

2019-11-27 04:42:39 UTC  
2019-11-27 04:43:13 UTC  

So it would create a potential backdoor into Five Eyes from NZ.

2019-11-27 04:43:45 UTC  

There is a similar issue in the UK as well.

report just came out today on chinese soft power in europe

2019-11-27 04:45:48 UTC  

Kinda if any five eyes country lets in Huawei, they need to be removed from Five Eyes, as that hurts US security.

2019-11-27 04:46:41 UTC  

Well, right now, the west is just way too naïve on China.

2019-11-27 04:46:46 UTC  

Is that some porn?

2019-11-27 04:46:53 UTC  

naive might not be the word

2019-11-27 04:46:59 UTC  

Probably.

2019-11-27 04:47:02 UTC  

I’m watching Fox News

2019-11-27 04:47:04 UTC  

willful cooperation on the part of our elites, they did same thing with USSR

2019-11-27 04:47:37 UTC  

I heavily disagree with the way the west has dealt with China.

2019-11-27 04:47:48 UTC  

It believed it could just control China.

2019-11-27 04:48:01 UTC  

it's Barbarian Management, from the POV of the Chinese

2019-11-27 04:48:15 UTC  

Asian version of British Raj tactics

2019-11-27 04:48:24 UTC  

that's their phrase, translated

2019-11-27 04:48:41 UTC  

The whole nonsense position was that China would democratize as a result of economically liberal policy.

2019-11-27 04:49:07 UTC  

i'm not so sure they really expected that. western elites have no problem with disgusting regimes

2019-11-27 04:49:30 UTC  

Well their fallback was they thought it was worth the risk and that they could control China as in the past.

2019-11-27 04:50:22 UTC  

Though the public face of economic and foreign policy argued that China would become more free as it opened it's economy and gradually move more towards more political freedom.

2019-11-27 04:51:36 UTC  

The better policy was continuing to keep China out of critical parts of the US economy, but instead the US let them into areas where they could steal US intellectual property, and build up enough wealth to become an even greater military threat.

2019-11-27 04:51:36 UTC  

GG @NewRogernomics, you just advanced to level 9!

2019-11-27 04:52:59 UTC  

It isn't entirely wrong when it thinks it can bully the US.

2019-11-27 04:53:36 UTC  

Shut up

Futanari is the best porn

2019-11-27 04:54:28 UTC  

What does porn have to do with politics?

2019-11-27 04:54:50 UTC  

Because conservatives love futanari and liberals love yaoi

2019-11-27 04:55:36 UTC  

Okay...that's a discussion then. Ignored you because you asked whether a pdf was porn. 😛

2019-11-27 04:55:42 UTC  

It clearly wasn't.

2019-11-27 04:56:05 UTC  

Yeah it was
