Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been given a warm welcome during her brief, but high level, visit to the Chinese capital Beijing. That was alongside the message there must be mutual trust if the two countries were to keep developing the relationship. Chinese and New Zealand negotiators on the free trade agreement upgrade have been given a clear message to get some momentum into the talks as a result of the meetings. Ms Ardern also "proactively" raised touchy issues like Huawei, cyber security and the treatment of Uyhger Muslims in the Xinjiang region. RNZ's political editor Jane Patterson is in Beijing. She talks to Susie Ferguson.
