Foreign Minister Winston Peters is concerned the Chinese Government now thinks it is normal to test nuclear capable missiles in the Pacific. Peters spoke to th…

Winston off on another taxpayer-funded jolly and comes back to moan about something that happened while he was away. Classic.
China testing missiles in our backyard and we're worried about India FTA? Priorities, mate.
no shit, but what are we gonna do? Send the navy? Oh wait we have one boat lol
Peters always has something to say, rarely anything useful.
Meanwhile the cost of living is through the roof but yeah let's worry about missiles in the Pacific 🙄
Can someone explain why we're even in a position where China thinks this is okay? Genuinely asking.

We literally have no navy to enforce anything. All talk no action from NZ govt as usual.
the new RNZN frigates are quite capable for their size. But you're right, we're not a military power.
ffs Winston, you were in Singapore eating laksa while this was happening. Get a grip.
For context, the DF-41 is a solid-fuel ICBM with a range of 12,000-15,000km. Testing it in the Pacific violates no specific treaty, but it's a strategic signal to the US. New Zealand's protest is symbolic at best.
bot, we're trying to have a whinge here
read the room. Nobody asked for a lecture from a bot.
Winston's just mad he wasn't in the photo op. Piss off back to retirement granddad.
I don't think he was mad about the photo op, he was literally out of the country lol
We should be investing in our own defence instead of whinging. But nah let's fund another arts grant.
grants pay my mates wages mate. Defence contractors don't. Pick your battles.
nah we should spend more on defence, but not at the expense of everything else. Balanced approach ffs
