About this listen

A new poll shows more Kiwis see China as a threat, but experts say a good economic relationship is vital.

The Asia New Zealand Foundation surveyed 2,300 locals between November and December, and again in March.

Results show the number of people concerned about China rose from 28% to 40% over four months.

Research and Engagement Director Julia Macdonald says New Zealanders can appreciate the need for a good economic relationship.

She told Ryan Bridge that China has been at the top of the list of most significant countries for New Zealand’s future for a number of years, and Kiwis understand the need to continue to engage China.
