It's like the NZ fishing industry. It seems regardless of political affiliation there's something on the edge of public awareness that politicians need to kowtow to. So we kind of know about it, but exactly how the levers work is obscured.

With China it's just trade, right? All politicians rely on wealthy NZ businesses, you cut off the flow of cheap goods to spin expensive marketing campaigns around, your political ambitions will be similarly cut off.

But maybe I'm too cynical, maybe there's is real hardship NZers couldn't bear if we couldn't rely on cheap goods from China?
