Here is a copy of that original signed M.O.U. (pdf format at that link)

Coughlan’s article gives the present govt response in May last year to the Belt & Road Initiative. Jacinda, Winston and David Parker (present Trade Minister), are all quoted.

“Over the past couple of years the depths the party, its leaders and MPs, have been plumbing have become more visible. In 2017, in government, they signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the PRC on the Belt and Road Initiative. In that document they – Simon Bridges as signatory – committed to “promote” the “fusion of civilisations”. Plenty of people will probably dismiss such statements as “meaningless”, the stuff of official communiques. But decent people – under no duress whatever – don’t sign up to things suggesting that today’s equivalent of Nazi-ruled Germany is a normal and decent regime. Of course, they would probably dispute the parallel, but that’s just willed deliberate blindness.”

.. what , # 1 organ harvester you mean .. ? dip shit.

You are a troll.

I favour a caveat / ban up to including fines and / or imprisonment of any of our politicians while in office forging business deals that may slant this country’s foreign policy . They are paid well enough as it is and it is their job to govern based on the will of the people,- not use their position to feather their own nests and leave the mess and fall out for the next generation.

And that includes having someone who was involved in the spy industry in another country holding a significant position as one of our MP’s.

Yeah maybe we can pay to have a non democratically elected / non elected representative / dictatorial bureaucrat in the Chinese Communist Party as well , eh ?, – better still,- have one of our former spy trainers embedded in it. And maybe he can lie on his immigration forms just to complete the picture.

Sorry pal, – no dice.

And as for 5000 years of wisdom and study?… yeah. We’ve all got a cultural history.

Yeehaaa !
