  • 2019 Annual Report
    ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 11 DECEMBER 2019 CHAIR’S REPORT I am pleased to present my report for the 2018-19 financial year and to update the Council on recent developments. The New Zealand China Relationship New Zealand’s relationship with China has continued to deliver significant value, particularly in terms of growing trade and economic linkages, but also increasingly in people-to-people, cultural and scientific exchanges. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s first official visit to Beijing on 1 April 2019 demonstrated that the relationship is in good heart and, at the time of writing this report, the announcement of the conclusion of the NZ/China FTA Upgrade provides further evidence that both countries are focused on working to enhance the relationship even further. Prime Minister Ardern has spoken of the relationship as one of New Zealand’s “most important and far-reaching” and President Xi Jinping has described it as “one of the closest held by China with western developed countries”. Such positive comments do not come out of thin air – they are the result of careful diplomacy and relationship-building undertaken at the most senior levels and supported by organisations like the NZ China Council. This becomes all the more important at times of geo-political tension as we are experiencing at present. There is today unprecedented attention focused on the development of our relationship both domestically and externally. Sometimes this attention can be overly focused on the negative: while, inevitably, as two distinct societies and cultures, New Zealand and China will have differences – sometimes significant – on some issues including human rights and regional security, this should not detract from the value of working together where it makes sense to do so.

  • 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.

  • Magic Weapons: China's Political Influence Activities Under Xi Jinping
    Magic Weapons: China's political influence activities under Xi Jinping Professor Anne-Marie Brady Global Fellow, Wilson Center, Washington, DC; Department of Political Science and International Relations University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand In September 2014 Xi Jinping gave a speech on the importance of united front work— political influence activities—calling it one of the CCP’s “magic weapons”. The Chinese government’s foreign influence activities have accelerated under Xi. China’s foreign influence activities have the potential to undermine the sovereignty and integrity of the political system of targeted states. Conference paper presented at the conference on “The corrosion of democracy under China’s global influence,” supported by the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy, and hosted in Arlington, Virginia, USA, September 16-17, 2017. Key points: • CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping is leading an accelerated expansion of political influence activities worldwide. • The expansion of these activities is connected to both the CCP government’s domestic pressures and foreign agenda. • The paper creates a template of the policies and modes of China’s expanded foreign influence activities in the Xi era. • The paper uses this template to examine the extent to which one representative small state, New Zealand, is being targeted by China’s new influence agenda. Executive Summary In June 2017 the New York Times and The Economist featured stories on China's political influence in Australia. The New York Times headline asked "Are Australia's Politics too Easy to Corrupt?,"1 while The Economist sarcastically referred to China as the "Meddle Country."2 The two articles were reacting to an investigation by Fairfax Media and ABC into the extent of China's political interference in Australia,3 that built on internal inquiries into the same issue by ASIO and Australia's Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet in 2015 and 2016.

  • The Role of Overseas Chinese in China’S Foreign Interference Activities in the Xi Jinping Era
    VICTIM AND ACCOMPLICE? THE ROLE OF OVERSEAS CHINESE IN CHINA’S FOREIGN INTERFERENCE ACTIVITIES IN THE XI JINPING ERA A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Asian Studies By Qin Mei, B.A. Washington, DC November 13, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Qin Mei All Rights Reserved ii VICTIM AND ACCOMPLICE? THE ROLE OF OVERSEAS CHINESE IN CHINA’S FOREIGN INTERFERENCE ACTIVITIES IN THE XI JINPING ERA Qin Mei, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Kristen Looney. Professor, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Drawing upon previous diaspora studies’ findings and a wide range of primary data including government policy documents, archives, and news articles, this paper first provides an overview of the history and origins of overseas Chinese affairs (qiaowu) and the United Front Work Department. Secondly, it examines the changing demographics of the overseas Chinese (OC) population and its implications. Thirdly, it identifies the tactics that United Front Work uses to influence the overseas Chinese community and analyzes their implications through case studies on exposed Chinese interference operations in Australia and New Zealand. Lastly, it offers some potential ways to counter China’s interference activities. This paper argues that different generations of overseas Chinese have been targeted differently by the Chinese government, which underscores both an important evolution and in United Front Work and a more complicated picture of the CCP’s relations with the diaspora than is generally assumed. While the younger generation of overseas Chinese is often being targeted and mobilized to interfere with their host countries’ local politics, the active older generation is being silenced and suppressed.
