New Zealand’s Foreign Minister Winston Peters has pushed back at China’s ambassador, after he sent letters to MPs who attended a Taiwan National Day celebration.
Ambassador Wang Xiaolong warned those MPs they were jeopardising New Zealand’s relationship with China.
Peters says sending the letters was “a mistake”, and that attending the event did not breach New Zealand’s foreign policy.
Former MP Peter Dunne — who visited Taiwan several times as an MP — says the ambassador has “lost the plot”.
He’s speaks with Emile Donovan.
