Chinese ambassador warns New Zealand joining AUKUS could strain relations with China.

Chinese Ambassador to New Zealand, Wang Xiaolong, warned that joining the AUKUS security pact could harm China-New Zealand relations. AUKUS, formed by the U.S., UK, and Australia, aims to counter China's influence in the Asia-Pacific. Wang described AUKUS as a "Cold War mentality" that could lead to conflict. New Zealand is weighing its long-term interests and potential impact on regional security before deciding to join.
