The evidence shows that supposed fishing boats around contested islands are part of an extensive maritime militia.
The Spratly Islands, occupied by five different claimants, are the most hotly contested part of the South China Sea. Thanks to the harbors and supporting infrastructure Beijing constructed on its outposts there over the last five years, most vessels operating around the Spratlys are Chinese. And most of those are at least part-time members of China’s official maritime militia, an organization whose role Beijing frequently downplays but that is playing an increasingly visible role in its assertion of maritime claims.

Green MP Ricardo Menendez-March was yesterday announced as the party's spokesperson for seniors, and was quickly criticised on social media for stating he was ready to ask seniors "are you ok, boomer?".
The comment was made in reference to Chloe Swarbrick's infamous exchange with National MP Todd Muller in the House, in which she told him "Ok boomer" after he interrupted her speech on the Zero Carbon Amendment Bill.

- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
Considering we have had a free trade deal with China since 2008, I think they are a little behind the 8 Ball. The signing didn't really have any gain for NZ but cleared up some rules as we already had free trade deals with most of the other countries...
So sorry on this one... the poms have no idea what they are really on about.
