One thing we learned in the process of The Long Game is that our laws for dealing with foreign interference are not fit for purpose. Here’s where we’re at. With thanks to the Chinese Embassy for the headline inspiration.

The video in this story is brutal, of an attack on human rights activists protesting during the visit of Premier Li to New Zealand. The activist who filmed it gave it to me because he wants New Zealanders to see what he believes is CCP-led suppression of dissenting voices.

We refute that we have been chasing the wind and catching shadows. "China's Embassy hits back at foreign interference claims, warns journalists not to investigate further"

I just watched this all the way through for the first time in..a long time.. because when making these things you do it in sections. Anyway, it was nice to see it flows. And looks great large (in spite is the greater attention to wrinkles etc 😳) But please do watch.. We think it’s important.

Latest from our investigation into CCP interference in New Zealand. Corrections sacked a probation officer for unauthorised searching of Chinese offenders' names, says there's “no evidence” to suggest information was passed on, but doesn't say how it established that.

Here's our doco investigating CCP influence and interference operations in New Zealand. There are options for Chinese and English subtitles if you click on the little box second from right at the bottom of the screen. Also.. set aside some time. It's a feature length documentary, 80 minutes

Kia ora, there are English subtitles but I can possibly arrange a transcript also. I think the idea to advertise the Chinese subtitles is good, thank you:)

There’s not a full doco transcript but there are captions so you can read if you prefer, but I appreciate that not necessarily the point you’re making.
