New Zealand's Secret Intelligence Service has released a Report highlighting Chinese spying and influence operations as a "complex intelligence concern" for the country. The report identifies China, along with Russia and Iran, as the main perpetrators of foreign interference in New Zealand. It also mentions the targeting of New Zealand's ethnic Chinese communities and the theft of information from companies and research institutions. The report's publication is seen as a significant step in New Zealand's approach to China and its foreign policy. The Chinese Embassy has rejected the report's claims, stating that China does not interfere in other countries' internal affairs.
