Jason Young: China researcher says trade, TikTok and Ukraine expected to be top-of-mind during Mahuta's meeting with Chinese Minister

Trade, TikTok and Ukraine are expected to be top-of-mind during a diplomatic visit between New Zealand and China. Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta is today on-route to Beijing to meet with her Chinese counterpart. Contemporary China Research Centre Director, Jason Young, told Kate Hawkesby they'll likely oppose New Zealand banning TikTok on diplomatic phones. And New Zealand may push back on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, at the same time Chinese President Xi Jinping is meeting with Putin. But Jason Young expects the main discussion to be about economic development. He says 33 percent of our trade goes into China, and it's important that carries on when the economy looks as it's softening. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
