see full report...I wonder if New Zealand will be treated like North Korea, 
Iran, China & Russia from now on...😉

New Zealand has broken with Anglophone allies over using the “Five Eyes” 
intelligence-sharing network to confront China, reversing an agreement to 
expand the network’s remit.

Nanaia Mahuta, the foreign minister, declared that New Zealand was 
“uncomfortable” with pressuring China and wanted to pursue its own bilateral 
relationship.

The network, a Cold War-era partnership to share intelligence, took a new turn 
last year when it began issuing statements as a single entity, including 
condemning China’s human rights record.

Last May defence ministers from Britain, America, Canada, Australia and New 
Zealand endorsed an expanded role with a public commitment not only to meet 
shared security challenges but “to advance their shared values of democracy, 
freedom and respect for human rights”.

Mahuta, 50, said she had informed the other Five Eyes members of New Zealand’s 
changed position.
