  • State Patriotism by Chen Weijian Oct 2018
    State patriotism by Chen Weijian (translation by Daisy Lee) Chen Weijian is New Zealand-based editor-in-chief of the political magazine Beijing Spring 4 June 1989 was a bloody day that cannot be erased in Chinese history. The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) opened fire on unarmed students whose blood stained Tiananmen Square. 29 years later, on the same day, a New Zealand overseas Chinese leader, former PLA member Zhang Yikun, received the New Zealand Order of Merit. On September 12th, Zhang Yikun was formally honoured at Government House. The news was even covered by China's CCTV: a star in the overseas Chinese community was on the rise. But while awaiting his spectacular future, Zhang Yikun this month burst into public view in New Zealand following his undeclared $100,000 donation to National Party. The question of what political donations are legal and illegal is a matter for the relevant authorities. What I want to talk about is Zhang Yikun’s political background in China and the role he has been effectively playing in New Zealand as a "patriotic overseas Chinese" leader. In his motherland, China, Zhang Yikun has held quite a few resounding political titles which distinguish him from all the other community leaders of the CCP’s United Front organisations in New Zealand. In 2012, Zhang was elected as the vice chairman of Hainan Provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce. The website’s home page says the Federation is a group of people’s organisations and chambers of commerce under the leadership of the CCP.
