NZ’s stance on China has deep implications for ‘Five Eyes’

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has offended devotees of the Anglosphere by indicating she is not prepared to take her country into the kind of trade war with China that Australia has found itself facing.
Asserting her nation’s sovereignty has potentially deep implications for the “Five Eyes” alliance, the intelligence-sharing partnership that emerged after World War II and blossomed in the Cold War. Indeed, some say New Zealand has confirmed itself as the weak link in the intelligence chain that it joined with the US, the UK, Canada and Australia.
