BEIJING/WELLINGTON - Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Monday she hoped to have a dialogue with Beijing about New Zealand's intelligence agency's decision to reject a bid by Chinese telecom giant Huawei to build a 5G mobile network.
"This is an opportunity to have a dialogue to talk about the way the process has been undertaken to date and where it currently stands," she said, adding that some media reports that suggest Huawei is banned in New Zealand are not true.Ties with China have been tense under Ardern's government which has openly raised concerns about Beijing's growing influence in the South Pacific, and rejected Chinese telecoms giant Huawei's first local bid to build a 5G mobile network.
The trip has been trimmed down to a one-day visit in the wake of an attack on two mosques in Christchurch on March 15 that killed 50 people.China entered into a free trade agreement with New Zealand, the first Western country to do so, in 2008, which has helped the Asian giant grow to become New Zealand's largest goods export partner.
