New Zealand Prime Minister's visit to China and his silence on China's human rights violations

The New Zealand prime minister paid a visit to China, during which he met with high-ranking Chinese officials, and tried to strengthen relations between the two sides. Experts argue that New Zealand will be a weak point in the US Indo-Pacific strategy.

According to voice of America Radio, Chris Hipkins, prime minister of New Zealand, one of the member countries of the Five Eyes alliance, led his country's business delegation and visited Beijing between June 25 and June 30.

Representatives of the largest New Zealand companies also participated in the trade delegation, and many agreements were signed between China and New Zealand in the fields of trade, agriculture, forestry, education, science and technology.

According to the report, the visit was described as a meeting that re-established the important economic relationship between the two sides. In addition, Chris Hipkins remained silent about China's human rights violations, and stressed that the policies of the Chinese government is a matter for the Chinese people only, as the New Zealand prime minister said after Biden called his Chinese counterpart a"dictator", stressing: "I do not agree with him and the order of the government and its change is for the Chinese people," before his visit to China.

Moreover, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said in his speech last week that he will visit China soon, but will schedule the time of the visit at an appropriate opportunity, and also stressed the importance of trade relations between China and Australia.

Many international relations experts believe that New Zealand is the most dependent on China for trade between the five countries, so it has to bow to China. Because of this, he five countries, so it has to bow to China. Because of this, New Zealand is preparing a breakthrough against China's Five-Eyes alliance, creating opportunities for China. But a number of experts believe that New Zealand and Australia's strengthening of relations with China will not have a significant impact on the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific region.
