Some key takeaways from the Asia New Zealand report:
- 80% feel it’s important for NZers to develop ties with Asia
- 90% feel it’s at least somewhat important for NZ to invest in building partnerships with Asia, with 65% saying it’s more important than 5 years ago
- 37% see China as a threat, in 3rd place behind Russia (72%, up 27 percentage points since last year) and North Korea (69%, up 5 ppt.). The rest are below 20%.
- 63% are concerned about possible conflict over Taiwan

Well let’s see - its not in the article, that was reported in the south China morning post, that does not show the questions asked, and only focuses on the one part of the poll that supports better Asian relations.
“Why would anybody start a study to prove that?” You’re so close here to understand the inherent bias in this.
And for the record, im not anti Asian like you are trying to force, im anti misinformation and bias. If you asked me directly “should we have better relations with asia” I would be in that ~70% group because they are our major trading partners. But I wouldn’t say yes over Australia, America’s and Europe as they are our security partners and a big part of our trade. I wouldn’t support increased immigration from China, but would be really happy with increased immigration from the Philippines. This is why the question asked and context is important.
Im not going to continue to debate bias and misinformation here as its not my job to educate you - this is discussed in first year uni virtually everywhere, and honestly needs to be brought forward to primary school so our kids aren’t afraid to question the mass of information provided over the internet.
I understand your bias for sure.
And have you proven that this is misinformation?
It looks like you didn’t even read the article. Nobody was asked to rank any country over another.
You should educate yourself.
