University of Waikato s Dr Reuben Steff said it was clear 10 to 15 years ago that if New Zealand continued to increase exports to China, it would soon end up having to tip-toe between the emerging global super power on the one hand and the US, UK, Australia and Canada on the other. It was pretty clear that as China s power rose it would eventually start butting heads pretty heavily with the United States and yet we have still sleep-walked into this position, Dr Steff said.
His comments come as an RNZ data analysis shows China now accounts for one third of New Zealand s merchandise export earnings, with more than $11 billion coming from food and beverage exports. In 2020, China was our top buyer of dairy produce, sheep meat, seafood, kiwifruit, honey, water and second biggest buyer of beef.
New Zealand sleep-walked into a position where it is torn between its economic dependence on China and its traditional allies, a foreign policy expert says.

Charles Finney, considered the âFather of Revivals,â was quoted as saying, âIf you have much of the Spirit of God, do not be surprised if even some of the leading members of the church oppose you!â
I am not certain if I fit Finneyâs description of someone who has âmuch of the Spirit of God.â All I know for sure is that I was saved at age nine in a little Southern Baptist church that our family attended. However, I abandoned my faith when I became a teenager because I hardly heard about an answer to prayers in our home and church. Thankfully, God intercepted me at a time when, as a young adult, I was seriously depressed and suicidal.
