China’s Ministry of State Security Criticizes New Zealand SIS for Rehashing ‘Chinese Intelligence Threat’ and Harassing Chinese Nationals

On September 26, a commentator from the WeChat public account “Chinese Ministry of State Security” published an article titled “Resolutely Oppose New Zealand’s Repeated Fabrications of ‘Chinese Intelligence Threats’ to Harass and Intimidate Chinese Citizens in New Zealand.” The following are the full translation of the article:

Slandering and Defaming China with Baseless Accusations
Over the past 50 years, China-New Zealand relations have made great progress, benefiting both countries. However, New Zealand has recently fabricated false information, claiming a so-called “Chinese intelligence threat” and harassing Chinese nationals in New Zealand. This behavior is unacceptable to China and is firmly opposed.

Frequent Smearing of China
The New Zealand Security Intelligence Service’s recent annual report repeatedly slandered China, claiming China poses a “complex intelligence risk” and accusing Chinese nationals, including students, of espionage. These baseless accusations have led to harassment and intimidation of Chinese nationals. The report follows previous similar fabrications by New Zealand intelligence agencies, including accusations of cyberattacks allegedly linked to China. These claims are groundless and reflect New Zealand’s ideological bias and Cold War mentality, which harm bilateral relations.

New Zealand’s Role in the ‘Five Eyes’ Alliance
New Zealand, as a member of the “Five Eyes” alliance, has long engaged in large-scale espionage activities against other countries. Despite presenting itself as a victim, New Zealand has actively participated in intelligence gathering with its alliance partners, including the United States. Reports have revealed that New Zealand’s government has been involved in hacking into Chinese diplomatic missions and other international targets.

China’s Call for Rational Understanding
China has always adhered to the principles of mutual respect and non-interference in internal affairs when developing relations with other countries. China encourages overseas Chinese to comply with local laws and contribute to local societies. New Zealand should avoid choosing sides in the international arena and provide a fair, non-discriminatory environment for Chinese nationals.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and New Zealand. Both sides should work together to enhance mutual trust and ensure the healthy development of bilateral relations.
