New Zealand intelligence report accuses China, Russia, Iran of ‘foreign interference’
Report from the country’s spy agency, the NZSIS, also claims foreign intelligence ‘persistently’ conduct operations against New Zealand
Guys! Guys! It’s ok! Because someone else did something similar! I am very intelligent 😎
China is New Zealand's main trading partner, but New Zealand is also part of the 5 Eyes spying pact with US, UK, Australia and Canada. So it walks a narrow path.
New Zealand intelligence report also accuses light of being 'like, really really fast'.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
New Zealand’s intelligence service has accused China of foreign interference in its democracy, amid increasing tensions and geopolitical competition in the region.
Friday’s public threat assessment points to “increased strategic competition” in the Indo-Pacific region as driving the interference from China.
Beijing’s “efforts to advance its political, economic, military and security involvement in the Pacific is a major factor driving strategic competition in our home region,” it says.
In previous security overview reports, NZSIS has spoken broadly about having gathered evidence of interference and espionage activities in New Zealand by foreign states and agents, but not named specific countries or governments.
In one case study – not attributed to a specific state – it said “an undeclared foreign intelligence officer … targeted and sought to cultivate a New Zealander with access to information and people networks of interest to the foreign state [and] almost certainly sought to obtain political, economic and national security intelligence through the relationship.”
On the threat from Iran, the agency said it had detected state actors “monitoring and providing reporting on Iranian communities and dissident groups”.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Did they have any other countries in the running? And if so, did they cross compare measures of foreign interference between them? Just curious, want to make sure this report is as scientific as possible and fair and impartial
Yeah because the west never interferes with other countries.
The first of the Whata-bots has arrived, I see.
Seeing the US orchestrating over 80 coups, funneling money into them, training death squads, sanctioning, weaponizing the IMF, deploying troops, dropping bombs, injecting propaganda, and more; and then going "But wait China messes with other countries too!" IS the whataboutism
There is a clear first place worst imperialist. Second is very, very distant. Devoting this degree of energy to anything but first place and then defending first place when it comes up is imperialism apologetics.
Jesus Christ he's right tho ffs
stop playing this game governments are not our friends you all do this all the time
The first of the , I don't like you options bot has answered.
This article does not claim otherwise.
Two things can be bad at the same time.
