| Summary/Abstract |
New Zealanders have prided themselves on a moral foreign policy that can speak up for decency and a rules-based world order. Now in the face of China's aggressive nationalism, especially over Hong Kong, we face a difficult choice between our democratic values and our income. We stumbled at the first fence, choosing to be silent when our friends spoke out over China's repudiation of the treaty which guarantees Hong Kong's special status. We have gently tried to recover this stumble and can do so more convincingly by taking in our share of those who wish or need to flee Hong Kong.
