Ye, Ardent is proving a capable and smart NZ leader. She is talking the talk about China (see their "concerns about China") but when it comes to the trade sanctions, Australia is left alone.Phone me when New Zealand stops taking advantage of Australia’s trade embargo.
Especially with the RCEP, NZ is going to make good money and support their country and economy. No other country is suicidal (not even the US) to sabotage their own country for the "China bad" made-up story
To conclude, NZ has been a good student and has mastered the art of "walk and chew gum at the same time"
