New Zealand-China History: 180 Years in the Making

[@Zerpentsa6598]

There's a story of a Chinese man who went to NZ and due to various circumstances, settled there finally as a farmer. He had a Maori wife and was well loved by the Maori community. It was moving to see how his descendants traced their roots in China when they visited his village. There was real amity between the families. That how NZ-China relationship is. Don't let the US sow enmity between them.

Andy, the New Zealand media has not said anything about the whole history including the dark, I was expecting to hear at least a bit more. Great video. My respects to the Chinese people who did not get the respect, and human rights that should have been afforded to all.

There are some good websites and also little museums in NZ - will have to visit when I go back.

[@donatwu3128]

I can understand that commercial or private media are mostly controlled, manipulated &/or oppressed by the world hegemon through its proxy media tycoons to act according to the hegemon's instructions. However, I would have thought that Television New Zealand is the NZ Government's own platform to act independently & righteously to report real truths of its news to Kiwis. But no, it is well & truly within the strong grasp of the hegemon's hand.

[@haydenriggsnz]

@@donatwu3128 The media and maybe society as a whole, have just been focused on modern trade and commerce (not so much human stories and historical trade). They seem to have blinkers on, they see the 50 year milestone and only concentrate on that. I think its more of an unconscioused biased, than deliberate.

[@haydenriggsnz]

@@ReportsOnChina It would be fantastic to do a video for your New Zealand, and Chinese audiences. Often history can be forgotten, or sometimes its there but we need prompting. I think friendship and understanding, are very important in a world full of conflict and misunderstanding. What I found very fascinating is the story of Rewi Allan, it would be fantastic to do a full documentary on his life and travels (I don't ask for much do I haha lol) . I did not have any knowledge of his story at all.

Thank you, Andy for continuing 路易•艾黎 's work in bridging China-NZ, and China-West friendship. You are our 路易•艾黎 for our times. I love what you do and am hopeful that your work will help pave the way for stronger understanding of China.

[@Brick-Life]

This will be a very special episode!

[@iWantPeace838]

Unfortunately, the NZ media seem not interested in the 50the anniversary. Instead, the NZ Herald has 2 rather negative reports on trivial (with sensationalized headlines) China-related matters. So, thanks Andy for reminding us of such a milestone date. Yellow Peril is, to my opinion, still very much in a lot of people's mind. Still remember the MP who used a phone book to prove that Chinese speculators were behind a heated property market? How ridiculous! NZ-China relation is just one of many things, in which KIwis set a good example to the rest of the world. Kiwis have a special trait of handling things nicely and in a humble manner.

[@TheTraveler2222]

Jacinda Arden is truly a rare breed of leader (and a female one at that) that doesn't simply tow the line with USA like a lapdog. There is much to be desired from her leadership compared to the knuckle heads here in Australia

[@azzevria8034]

Why call Australian leaders "knuckle heads" ? That's simply too kind and unstated. Given that Canberra is deliberately threatening 1.4 billion Chinese people with American B52 nuclear bombers and nuclear annihilation Australian leaders deserve far worst than "knuckle heads". Perhaps "pre-emptive genociders" if there is such a term.

[@panyaboonc5621]

The Kiwis are much smarter than the Kangaroos. Althought Kiwi is smaller in size, but Kiwi has bigger brain than Kangaroo. The smart Kiwis rather be independence and have their own decisions rather than be a lapdog of a master and cannot disobey orders given by the master.

[@azzevria8034]

@@panyaboonc5621 White colonisers who stolen the Land of the Long White Clouds have made peace and largely reconciled with First Nation Kiwis. Hence, more confident of themselves and less fearful of their neighbours wanting them to return their stolen property. White Australia colonisers are still some way from making peace and reconciling with First Nation Aussies. Fearful of their neighbours and occupation of their stolen island, White Australian colonisers yearn protection.

Andy, I first heard about Rewi Alley through your documentary on his life and how he dedicated his life to his adopted homeland, China. It was a very touching documentary and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been a fan of your channel ever since. Please continue the excellent work of getting facts and truth on China to the rest of the world. Fan in NYC

[@davids7403]

Great piece Andy, NZ history was never a focus for me as it is for most Australians who were born in a privileged white Australia myopia, yet today Australia is home to many NZ expats. NZ history at best was rudimentary when I was growing up in the 1950-60s where we learned that the Maoris were great warriors and impressed the whites settlers so much that intermarriage was common and encouraged. That's what we were taught and that there was racial harmony because of that. That was before "Once were Warriors” hit the screens and a much different story came into view. How we learn things can change outlooks in an instant. So this was illuminating. Watched it twice already. "

[@ReportsOnChina]

Wow, that’s really interesting - I never knew you guys were taught that! Once Were Warriors was a great / tragic movie.

[@EddyKCWong]

You never mentioned about the chinese gooseberry ..that came from China and as such the Kiwi fruit cuttings were given to the Chinese trade mission to take back to China as a gratitude of their visit in the early 70s.

I recently met some people online (one I suspect from Aussie, as he is complaining about summer temps). While they are interested in Chinese culture, it is unfortunately through the lens of view the PRC as alien and weird. Fuck, one guy admits he gets all his info from the likes of the 2 famous YT racists who I won't bother naming. They to be drawn to negative stories instead of those of hope and inspiration... I tried to redirect these people to less fear-mongering sources. I hope that I have started to create cracks in their long-seated bias...

New Zealand is an exception among Anglo-Saxon states, the immigrates actually found a way to live with the natives.

[@K1VV1939]

Yes they sent the religious in to stop the natives eating them, then lied again convincing them they were under threat from a large force and needed to sign an agreement with the King. Only half signed the charter and none of the natives understood what they were signing. Australia was over thrown by british criminals

As far as I know, the Chinese have always experienced persecution and killings wherever they are. both in Southeast Asia, America, England and in South America. All of this is always preceded by social jealousy because most of the overseas Chinese are more successful than the local population. Chinese ethnicity is like water the more you press it the stronger it gets. All overseas Chinese ethnicities are very proud of what the current Chinese government has achieved .

[@fredtan1506]

Brits have one thing in their minds i.e. to colonize lands (land grab) not yet colonized by Spain, Portugal et al Europeans. Chinese people never had that in mind, e.g. Ching He.

I see a common trend (actually the second time) among mostly white colonial communities where ethnic chinese were found.... discriminatory laws against them due to one reason or another. Sure, the laws were repealed now...but what was the impetus of such law that were not levied against other immigrating ethnic groups? As a side note, anyone notice that a single preference community, say for example a religious community or a single race community tends, at that point in time several hundreds of years ago, to enact laws that actively discriminates against someone different?

Kiwis need to form a Valid Constitution formed by the people for the people for the purpose of controlling the governing body - Some of the older ones of us don't want to be involved in american wars - and we can let the ones that do go to Australia. Charter - a document [or more] formed by the governing body imposed over the people. A Charter May include some Privileges like License, Permits, Titles, Money ... all subject slave to the govt. We do not have a founding document as the Treaty was signed under threat of attack [therefore invalid]. We have 3 documents they say is a constitution yet A.
