Four New Zealand MPs who visited Taiwan last month have been banned from entering China, Hong Kong and Macau for a year. National's Maureen Pew, Labour's Duncan Webb, Axe Laura McClure and NZ Firsts David Wilson were visiting as part of a cross-party parliamentary group to improve relations with Taiwan. The Chinese embassy has said the ban could be reduced or waived with an apology. It's the first time China has imposed such a move. So does this mark a turning point in China New Zealand relations? Or is it a targeted symbolic strike that won't really change anything? Today on the front page, Victoria University of Wellington contemporary China Research Center director, Jason Young is with us to unpack what's behind China's decision, why it happened now, and what the backlas could mean for our future relationship with Beijing.
