Abstract
In 2017 the People’s Republic of China (PRC) became New Zealand’s largest trading partner. New Zealand’s economic prosperity is now closely linked to China, and the same goes for New Zealand’s other major trading partners Australia, the USA, and Japan. Yet New Zealand-China relations have been under pressure in recent years, as have New Zealand-US relations. This has been the case particularly since 2012, when Chinese Communist Party (CCP) General Secretary Xi Jinping came to power. Under Xi, the PRC has adopted an assertive foreign policy that poses some strategic challenges to New Zealand—as well as its traditional allies.
