    Is anyone watching 60 minutes story of Chinas expansion into the Sth pacific? How much is true or not, it’s concerning to say the least

    I haven't watched it but I'm glad that this is getting broader attention.

    and resume bombing boats in NZ harbours when people protest about the tests.

    Back to the China issue, yes cause for alarm.

    Those French can be so naughty sometimes.

    But why didn't the culprits serve their full sentence in a NZ prison? Some behind the scenes negotiation perhaps .

    I just drove from Khon Kaen to Mukdahan in Thailand on the new highway built as part of the belt and road initiative (so the chinese tanks can move in easily) - it was great and has cut the journey in half.

    ......... first they threatened to ban NZ butter into France, then got the prisoners transferred to French tropical island and then one gets pregnant and released...all this is from memory but I think this was the correct trail of disgraceful events.

    Here is a good idea.
    Allow foreigners to come in here and buy up off the plan properties by the billions of $. Once they have contracted change the stamp duty laws so they pay double and triple the land tax. Also make it harder for them to get finance so more lose their deposits.
    Then when they sell for a loss loosen up the finance again.
