As the US and China spar over maritime clashes in the South China Sea, New Zealand has set out its view of some of the issues at play – with a viewpoint unlikely to find favour with Beijing
New Zealand has weighed in on long-running and heated territorial disputes in the South China Sea, with a carefully-worded diplomatic note that nonetheless sets the country in opposition to Beijing.

- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
Since this article, New Zealand sent HMNZS Te Kaha and HMNZS Aotearoa and sailed the South China Sea with the UK Carrier Strike Group 21. #UKCSG21. This also sends a message to China (a bit heavier than a diplomatic note) of where NZ stands on the South China Sea, the 9 Dash Line and freedom of navigation...

The world is watching the 2021 Canadian federal election with some interest, owing to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s international celebrity status. However, the media have overlooked one aspect of the election. A Conservative Party victory would not just spell the end of the Trudeau administration, but would also bring to the fore a previously obscure policy proposal that the Conservative Party has made in its foreign policy platform. This is the dream of CANZUK, a union of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the U.K. This would be both a radical shift in Canada’s foreign policy and also potentially in Canada’s defence policy.

- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
What a poorly written and researched article.
If the Conservative Party wins, three of four CANZUK nations would have pro-CANZUK governments in office: Canada, Australia and the U.K. That would just leave New Zealand under the Jacinda Ardern administration, and pro-CANZUK politicians have said they expect New Zealand to follow Australia into a CANZUK agreement if the other three nations finalize it.
I don't even think Australia has a policy on CANZUK, and even if they do saying New Zealand would just follow is a bit of a stretch.
Sure there are various MP's and have considered the idea but no party in NZ or Australia has a CANZUK policy. Only the Conservative Party of Canada and their leader Erin O’Toole has one as part of their party policy.

Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta has said the Government is working on a "second phase" to try to get New Zealand passport holders and other visa holders out of the turbulent nation, which has fallen into Taliban hands in recent weeks.

ANALYSIS: New Zealand might not be part of the recently revealed security agreement between the US, Britain and Australia (AUKUS), but it certainly can't avoid the diplomatic and strategic fallout.
Under the pact, Australia stands to gain nuclear-powered submarine capability, with the US seeking greater military basing rights in the region. ASEAN allies have had to be reassured over fears the region is being nuclearised.
