Thank you for your question. Actually, we haven't seen anything like the awful incidents that have been occurring in the United States, for example. We have a history of racism against our New Zealand Chinese population, a very similar one to Australia's. There was an idea of yellow peril and excluding particularly women from migration to New Zealand in the gold rush days. More broadly, we are a post-colonial society, and so we have a history of racism here as well. So far, we have not had any extreme cases.
I want to go back to the question of Mr. Fragiskatos about how we can deal with the CCP political interference activities in our countries, which for New Zealand is the top priority of our SIS. Their top job is dealing with foreign interference, which for New Zealand means China, and yet protect our New Zealand Chinese community and signal that we see them and understand that they are the victims of the CCP's efforts to control their communities and control their media.
My government, as I said, for the last four years has been trying to work out, first of all, whether we can afford to deal with the problem, and then talk about what we're going to do. I have been repeatedly saying to my government that first of all, when we talk about this issue, we say, “CCP”, “CCP government”, “the Peoples Republic of China”. Don't just say, “They're Chinese”, because it's dehumanizing. We have to be careful with our language.
