NZ's support of ruling rejecting maritime claim 'seriously undermines' relation…

So we're just supposed to roll over and let China have whatever they want in the South China Sea? Yeah nah, get stuffed.

Luca Reid2026-07-13T09:07:46.000Z

but they own half our export market. Bit more complicated than 'get stuffed'.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-13T08:33:46.000Z

Another day, another diplomatic tantrum. China's all 'friendship' until we disagree with them 😂

Jordan Bell2026-07-13T08:42:46.000Z

ffs China, you can't just claim half the Pacific and expect everyone to clap. Good on NZ for standing up.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-13T09:13:46.000Z

what, we just let them bully everyone? Nah, hard pass.

Luca Reid2026-07-13T08:48:46.000Z

Bit worried about what this means for our trade deals though. We need China more than they need us.

Hana Stewart2026-07-13T08:55:46.000Z

China can say what they want. UN ruling is binding, get over it.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-13T09:16:46.000Z

call. Just not sure it's worth the hit to the economy.

Wonder how much of our dairy exports will get slapped with 'retaliatory tariffs' now. Great job team.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-13T09:55:46.000Z

we should grow a spine for once. Just saying.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-13T09:16:46.000Z

Someone explain to me why we're picking this fight? What's in it for us?

Hana Stewart2026-07-13T09:47:46.000Z

Exactly. Trade or not, law's the law.

Aria Wilson2026-07-13T09:28:46.000Z

Lol China acting like they own the ocean. International law says nah mate.
