A growing number of New Zealanders see China as a threat according to the latest survey on New Zealander's perceptions of Asia and Asian People.
Based on the annual report from Asia New Zealand Foundation, this is the first time the Asian super-power has ranked so low in public trust.
The study measures how New Zealands engage with Asian countries and their cultures and charts our reception to Asia as a key region of business and trade.
Asia New Zealand Foundation executive director Simon Draper spoke to Corin Dann.
