The central government announced that it will promote the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law in Hong Kong. Many countries have expressed concern that the most eye -catching is naturally western countries such as the United States and Britain.On Thursday (28th), the United States, Britain, Australia, and Canada issued a joint statement, stating that China ’s accusation of China’ s strong push for the National Security Law in Hong Kong to destroy Hong Kong ’s autonomy and violate the Sino -British joint statement.The United States calls on allies to put pressure on China together, which is actually expected.It is worth noting that the four countries issued by this joint statement are all members of the Five Eyes League led by the United States, but they owe New Zealand.Does New Zealand not participate in this joint statement, does it reflect?
New Zealand is not in fact without saying no voice on Hong Kong.Winston Peters, New Zealand Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, also issued a statement on the issue of Hong Kong on Thursday, but did not participate in a joint statement from the United States, Britain, Australia and California.Although the five -eye alliance is strictly just an intelligence analysis organization, not a political alliance, since the four eyes in the five eyes have issued a joint statement on Hong Kong, New Zealand itself does not have no voice.It does cause some guessing the outside world.
No mention of China -British joint statement
The local media of New Zealand noticed the authorities of the authorities, and reported that New Zealand did not participate in lsquo; five -eye rsquo; joint statement on Hong Kong was reported as a report.The specific study of New Zealand's statement and the joint statement of the five -eye can be roughly summarized in New Zealand's content.Its content indicates that Hong Kong will continue to have a high degree of autonomy and pay attention to the consequences of China's direct implementation of the National Security Law.However, compared to the five -eye version, it did not mention the obligation to violate the joint statement of Sino -British, and the tone was milder. It did not use the request (call on), but only expressed concern.
It can be speculated that New Zealand does not join the joint statement, and it is likely that you do not want to take a tough tone with other four countries, so it will be published alone.The degree of mildness is similar to the profound concerns published by Japan's foreign affairs in the same day.Judging from the performance of the New Zealand government in recent years, New Zealand has a mild state of Hong Kong issues.In recent years, New Zealand has become more milder than the rest of the four countries that criticize China.Taking the new crown epidemic this year as an example, although New Zealand also supports the source of the new crown epidemic, it has not joined the United States in the big discussion of the United States and blamed the epidemic on China.Even in the South China Sea controversy, New Zealand's positiveness is far worse than that of Australia near its neighbors.Of course, New Zealand is far from relatives. Standing on the Western world on some key issues.For example, as early as 2018, New Zealand has banned Huawei from participating in 5G construction, and also supports Taiwan to join the World Health Organization (WHO).But it is not difficult to see that New Zealand is indeed unwilling to provoke Chinese nerves.
China actively establishes a community
China is the largest trading partner in New Zealand. A large number of agricultural products were exported to China and Hong Kong, and they have a close relationship with each other.Even if it is not because of the new crown epidemic, the regional comprehensive economic partnership agreement (RCEP) led by China will be signed this year.The close economic relationship between New Zealand and China may limit the degree of New Zealand's participation in the anti -Central camp.
When discussing Chinese diplomacy, many theoreticals are inclined to believe that China lacks softness, but only dealt with diplomacy with dominant and criticized it.However, China has been deepening economic exchanges for many years. Although it is unable to accept the ideology of China at once, it is not futile.In recent years, China seems to be accused by Qianfu on the diplomatic field, but it is still stable as Taishan. To a large extent, although many countries are dissatisfied with China, they are often unwilling to take economic losses for practical actions due to their close relationships.It can be said that a kind of strength operated in China is neither soft power nor hard power, but to build a community that can exist with each other with inextricable relationships.
