"Inexplicable colonial-style arrogance" is how the Chinese Embassy has summed up public comments made by Judith Collins, Winston Peters, and their Australian ministerial counterparts. Australia's deputy prime minister and Defence Minister Richard Marles and Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong hosted Ms Collins and Mr Peters on Tuesday for their third annual get-together, which also marked 75 years of the New Zealand-Australia Alliance. But it's their joint statement following those talks that has agitated China's embassy in Wellington, and prompted a warning that the relationship between China and New Zealand is being put at risk.
