New Zealand & Chinese 5G + FVEY ‘Security’
Maybe this is a sign that the pressure’s been put on New Zealand’s (FVEY nation) traitorous PM Ms Jacinda Ardern by the US to make the right choice?
Gordon Campbell: banning Huawei and new hostility to China

Excerpts from the page -
‘New Zealand consumers will probably have to pay more for their 5G services in future, as a result of the government’s decision to join with our 5 Eyes ally, Australia, and invoke national security concerns to justify the banning of Huawei technology from our new 5G phone and Internet networks. In Australia, the Huawei bid was reportedly 30% lower than competing tenders. While not all of those extra costs would be passed on, telco margins are already slim. It is reasonable to assume there will be extra costs for consumers as a consequence of exercising this form of trade discrimination against the Chinese company. Free trade, it seems, has limits.’
‘Huawei, established in the technology city of Shenzhen in 1987, has helped build mobile and fixed line broadband networks in New Zealand, joined the government's Ultra Fast and Rural Broadband projects, led the sales of smart phones and home devices, and launched its Enterprise business to support local businesses. The Auckland office is now home to more than 120 staff, and Huawei New Zealand’s activities directly contribute more than $50 million annually to the local economy based on wages, partnerships with local suppliers, and sub-contracting for major infrastructure projects.’
(Note - Shenzhen is a major city in Guangdong Province, China.)
‘Part of our sensitivity is a product of the delusion that we are seen (and see ourselves) as a neutral player towards China. In fact, the Huawei ban forms part of a trifecta of measures via which the 5 Eyes allies have been beefing up their stance towards China. This is being expressed in the (a) the increased defence spending in Australia and New Zealand for which countering China expansionism is the only conceivable rationale and (b) the massive increase in Australasia’s aid and diplomatic profile in the Pacific, in order to counter China’s “cheque book” diplomacy. Now, (c) the Huawei ban is aimed at avoiding any dependence in future on Chinese technology at the heart of our ‘command, control and communications’ infrastructure.’

‘The United States Ambassador to New Zealand says we should be wary of China's growing influence here.
New Zealand is a small country caught in a gravitational pull between the world's two superpowers, China and the United States, both of which have a strong influence over the Government's foreign policy approach.
US Ambassador Scott Brown believes New Zealand should look to the US as a more trusted ally than China. He answered questions from Kiwis on RadioLIVE on Wednesday morning, where he defended the United States' history of perceived international meddling.’
