Short & sweet

On China Well, if China is going to put pressure on us (disruptions in tourism, education, plane flights, commodity exports, diplomacy) we’d better let Huawei do the 5G rollout and open up our residential housing market to them again.

B. Darragh, Auckland Central.

I was pleased to see three important

articles including the editorial yesterday underlining the need to have our own independent, positive policy towards China and not just side with he who shouts loudest without reflection.

Frank Olsson, Freemans Bay.

Helen Clark foolishly got us involved in China. We are now inextricably locked in. Jacinda Ardern is now foolishly getting us

out of China. Typical Labour naivety. Greg Moir, Kerikeri.

Why are the media “beating up” on our relations with China? This makes Jacinda’s job that much harder. Bruce Tubb, Belmont.

On broadband I live 12km outside a small town. UFB is

not going to get to me any time soon. As I understand it I may therefore not be able to watch all the World Cup games. Brilliant move NZ Rugby. Rod Young, Kerikeri.

On Venezuela

Madura of Venezuela has resorted to playing the US white supremacist card. Rod Matthews, Melbourne.
