“New Zealand is first and foremost a nation of the Pacific and we view foreign policy developments through the lens of what is in the best interest of the region," Ardern said.

I think that is gonna become the rule of the seas for many more nations too

It's ironic that the Aussies ditched the French to nuke-up the South Pacific, and import enriched uranium from the US. And turn themselves into a new potential theatre of war that the major powers wouldn't care about so much.

BEIJING (Reuters) -China has filed an application to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), the country's commerce ministry said on Thursday, as the world's second-biggest economy looks to bolster its clout in trade.
Commerce Minister Wang Wentao submitted China's application to join the free trade agreement in a letter to New Zealand's trade minister, Damien O'Connor, the Chinese ministry said in a statement.
The CPTPP was signed by 11 countries including Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan and New Zealand in 2018.
Britain and Thailand have also signalled interest in joining the CPTPP.
Wang and O'Connor held a telephone conference to discuss the next steps following China's application, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said.
I welcome China and Thailand. I'm not sure why Britain would want to join the "Trans-Pacific Partnership". They might want to look at a map.Because the uk's had a global outlook longer than most of the world's states have existed.Whatever wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 3:17 amterangi48 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 2:55 am So.......this'll stir things up a bit.......

I knew that was coming. Some people in the world don't regard your "global outlook" as fondly as you do. You are a fossil from the last century, if not earlier. And what makes you think only you were the only ones making maps?
