12 Sept 2025: New Zealand and the United Kingdom have agreed to explore opportunities for closer defence cooperation in the face of a changing world. Defence Minister Judith Collins has signed a Joint Statement on Defence Cooperation with her UK counterpart, John Healey, in London.

2024: New Zealand has joined a new United States-led Indo-Pacific group that "directly supports" America's national industrial defence strategy to boost "warfighting" capabilities.
- What has a 7,000 k range, NO FLIGHT CREW with a payload of up to 6 tonnes of e.g - A swarm of 100 drones?

Deploying 100 unmanned DRONES
A Chinese unmanned aircraft Jiu Tian, the worlds largest. - In a Taiwan conflict scenario, Jiutian could be used to deploy massive swarms of loitering munitions against airbases, missile sites, and naval ports across the island.
My guess would be that it might not be a good idea for America (or anyone else) to go to war against the worlds largest economic and industrial based nation.
November 2025: China launched its third aircraft carrier, the Fujian, in a ceremony in the southern city of Sanya.
With a displacement of over 80,000 tons, the conventionally powered Fujian
is the largest non-nuclear warship in the world.
This ship seems to be working .. unlike those British carriers that leak, break-down, and haven't got crews or airplanes.
I'd suggest that any small Southern Pacific island nation located between Australia and The Antarctic could benefit from close and friendly relations with it's largest trading partner, - that is technologically advanced. - who is also a Pacific Ocean Nation & neighbor.
For example - might a Chinese friend be willing to help upgrade New Zealand's land transport system by building a high speed electric rail system the length of the two islands, that included both a BRIDGE and a TUNNEL linking the North Island to the South Island? Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge
China might also be persuaded to build us a giant container port to facilitate our critical export and importation of cargo ..“China is one of New Zealand’s most important tourism markets, and more international visitors means more bookings in our restaurants, more people visiting our regions and attractions, more jobs being created across the country, and an overall stronger economy,” Tourism and Hospitality Minister Louise Upston says.“In the year ended March 2025, visitors from China contributed $1.24 billion to New Zealand’s economy, but there’s still more work to do to grow these numbers and drive further economic growth throughout the country.
All I am saying is that when you live in an underdeveloped remote land - would anyone be better-off with a really good mate - rather than trying to kick sand in his face while hoping he'll continue buying your milk powder and crayfish?
Seasons Greetings,
