AUCKLAND — The Pacific region is becoming more contested and less secure as China becomes more assertive, New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said on Monday (July 17), outlining the country’s need to work with like-minded partners while still engaging with Beijing.
China's rise and how it seeks to exert that influence is a major driver of the increasing strategic competition, particularly in the Indo-Pacific, Mr Hipkins said in a speech at the China Business Summit in Auckland.
“In this increasingly complex global environment, our relationship with China will continue to require careful management,” he said. "Common interests and concerns do not mean we will always take the same approach. Sometimes there is tactical strength in a diversity of approaches to achieve the same outcomes," he said.
