Does New Zealand have a refugee crisis?

We will explore this in another post, not obvious is the majority of people coming here are not just migrants but are being sent here from Australia, China, Europe and South East Asia. It gets harder to distinguish if the country has a language and education problem with the rest of the modern world, due to lack of diversity, with East Asia being the quiet dominant community in New Zealand.

What is not surprising is recent polls indicate that more than half of New Zealand's refugee population is under the age of 25 years old. Refugees are screened and assessed by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) before being accepted by New Zealand. Language barriers are a significant challenge for refugees in New Zealand. 

Under the national party , the Chinese government has purchased several critical assets and infrastructure in New Zealand, more recently Labour party made it harder for foreign entities to purchase local assets and infrastructure. China has tried to gain regional control, in New Zealand as part of these acquisitions of land and infrastructure, paving way for more Chinese nationals to live in New Zealand, similar to China’s belt and road scheme that they are using in Asia and Africa.

Moreover, concerns have been raised about the broader social effects of Chinese investment on New Zealand's culture and way of life. For instance, there may be language and cultural barriers that would make it difficult for local communities to fully integrate with Chinese-owned businesses, potentially leading to social isolation and inequality.

Chinese companies have been buying up a large number of local assets, including farms, forestry, and infrastructure, which has raised questions about the long-term implications of such investments. Some worry that the increased Chinese presence in these sectors may result in a loss of control over key resources and infrastructure, leading to the exploitation of local workers and resources.

There has also been criticism that certain investments by Chinese companies have not been thoroughly vetted, leading to potential risks to national security. For example, Chinese telecom giant Huawei was banned from participating in New Zealand's 5G network due to security concerns.

Some analysts believe that China is unable to sustain growth due to Co-Vid, recent economic crises and the war in Europe, and that China one of the largest nations on the planet is a strain on the World Bank.
The communist country China is known for dictatorship and authoritarian moves in smaller regions in the world.

China has ten’s of thousands of EV cars rotting away due to lack of demand in 2023, in just one field.
