Call on NZ's Legislation from Foreign Agents & Interference
Would you like to sign this Petitions on the New Zealand Parliament:
https://petitions.parliament.nz/c80490e3-cc44-4baa-6536-08dcda440ad1
To support a letter calling on NZ Parliament to legislate to restrain foreign agents, stop the expansion of foreign interference and defending New Zealand's way of life：
.................................
Honourable Members of Parliament:
We are a pro-democracy Chinese society in New Zealand. We have been concerned about the expansion of People's Republic of China (PRC)'s influence in NZ, and a number of our members have encountered harassment, threats and assaults. We deeply feel that PRC (Chinese Communist Party, CCP) is getting more and more influential and CCP supporters are getting more and more aggressive. This phenomenon is not only disturbing, but also undermines New Zealand's sovereignty and national security.
We strongly request the Parliament to initiate legislation to limit the aggressive expansion of CCP's influence and protect New Zealand's sovereignty and national security.
The Reasons or Evidence for ‘Foreign Agent’ Legislation in New Zealand:
1. China set up a secret police station in NZ, then cancelled after media reports. [1].
2. China interfered in our election.
A, Pro-CCP leaders have access to our top politicians through large donations. There have been many media reports, including: Zhang Yikun, Jackson Rao, Steven Wong, Wang Lili, Vicky Lu. [2] [3] [4]
B,In the past few general elections, a large swing in the voting tendency of the Chinese community can be observed. We believe that this is due to the fact that pro-ccp media has influenced the Chinese voters with misleading reports, and pro-ccp associations and community leaders with fake news. Under the MMP electoral system, the Chinese population has reached 5%, which is enough to have a significant impact on the local general election.
3, Several Chinese media are working as propagandists for PRC (CCP). They are either controlled or coerced by implication to forbid reporting major negative news about PRC(CCP), to shape Chinese people's goodwill towards PRC(CCP), and to cultivate Chinese people's loyalty towards homeland PRC(CCP), a case study mentioned in the annual report of SIS 2024. [5]
4, Several Chinese language media are spreading and rendering hatred, undermining the integration of the Chinese community into the local, and promoting nationalistic sentiments among the Chinese community. For example, the media is used to amplify and exaggerate the very few local cases of racial discrimination. [6] [7] [8]
5, A large number of Chinese associations and Chinese community leaders are controlled, manipulated or forced by the CCP to become tools for the CCP's influence to penetrate into New Zealand's political, economic and cultural spheres, with the aim of defending China's interests. For example, the ‘Chinese Peaceful Reunification Promotion Association’, which has been established in various countries, has been listed as a Chinese diplomatic mission by the United States [9]. For example 2, the New Zealand Hua Xing Art Troupe spreads CCP values in the name of art. [10] [11]
6. The academic freedom of our primary schools, secondary schools and universities is being slowly eroded and destroyed by ‘Confucius Institutes’. In the name of learning Chinese language and promoting Chinese culture, the Confucius Institutes are slowly promoting CCP values in our primary schools, secondary schools and universities. [12] [13]
7. Our freedom of religion is being eroded. For example, Zhou Bin, chief pastor of the Chinese church at Bread of Life Christian Church-Spring of Grace in Auckland, prayed for the Belt and Road and for the ZTE （a China ICT giant） during the worship service. This is a covert implantation of nationalism by pro-CCP church leaders. [14]
8. Some pro-CCP community leaders are becoming more and more aggressive, and beatings have become the norm. The following is the latest report of several Chinese leaders beating up protesters during Premier Li Qiang's visit to NZ. [15]
9, PRC Consulate General in Auckland held a volunteer team establishment and business training meeting. [16]
10, PRC's transnational repression around the world seems to be increasing. Stuff's documentary interviews a victim who testifies that Chinese agents tried to kidnap him in NZ. [17]
We are very very worried about these factual cases, these are the actions of the PRC(CCP) in NZ that have been made public, and the undeclared actions are bound to be more numerous and serious.
We realise that legislative patches are urgently needed to defend our people's democratic and free way of life in the face of superpower infiltration. New Zealand is a tiny, democratic, and open country. In the era of globalisation, there is a indeed need to restrict and regulate the infiltration of powerful foreign countries. Good fences make good neighbours.
We hereby strongly request: Honourable Members of Parliament, for the sake of New Zealand's long-term well-being, please take reference from similar legislation in Australia, Canada, UK and USA, and formulate a law to regulate and control ‘foreign agents’:
*1,Foreign agents must be registered and their activities should be transparent;
*2,Media foreign propaganda must be registered and their sources of funding should be declared;
*3,Foreigners and their agents are prohibited from interfering in the country's elections;
*4,Prohibit political donations by foreigners and their agents;
*5,Empowering the police and SIS to take appropriate measures against infiltration activities of foreign agents, including warnings, fines, prosecutions, etc., after the required legal procedures.
Regards!

纽西兰价值联盟希望全球支持签名，出台外国人代理法案以阻止中共渗透
各位同道好友。纽西兰价值联盟，请愿要求纽西兰国会：调查中垬国的渗透，实现华社免于恐惧的自由。以下是纽西兰国会请原属网站望大家签名支持
https://petitions.parliament.nz/c80490e3-cc44-4baa-6536-08dcda440ad1
呼吁国会立法约束外国代理人，阻止外国渗透的扩大，保卫纽西兰的生活方式
以下是我们请愿书：
尊敬的国会议员：
我们是一个支持民主的纽西兰华人社团，一直在关注PRC在NZ的影响力扩张，我们的多名成员也遇到骚扰、威胁、殴打。我们深刻感受到PRC（CCP)的影响力越来越大，CCP的支持者也越来越有攻击性，这种现象不但令人不安，也损害纽西兰的主权和国家安全。
我们强烈呼吁国会立即开始立法，限制CCP影响力的富有侵略性的扩张，保护纽西兰的主权和国家安全。
纽西兰需要"外国代理人"立法的理由或证据：
1、中国在NZ设立秘密警察站，在媒体报道后取消。【1】
2、中国干涉我国的选举。
A,亲共侨领通过大额捐款，接近我国的高级政客。媒体报道的很多了，包括：张乙坤、饶金山、黄玮璋、王立立、陆欣讌。【2】【3】【4】
B,华社在我国大选时，投票倾向出现的大幅度的钟摆现象，忽左忽右。我们认为是因为亲共媒体用误导性报道、亲共社团和亲共侨领用假消息在影响华人选民。华人人口已达5%，在MMP选举制度下，已经足够对我国的大选造成重大影响。
3,多个华文媒体在做PRC(CCP)的宣传者。他们或被控制、或被暗示强迫，禁止报道PRC(CCP)的重大负面新闻，塑造华人对PRC(CCP)的好感，培养华人对PRC(CCP)的忠诚。SIS 2024的年度报告提到了。【5】
4，多个华文媒体在传播和渲染仇恨，破坏华人社区融入本地，促进华人的民族主义情绪。例如,用媒体扩大渲染本地极少数的种族歧视案例。【6】【7】【8】
5，大量的华人社团和华社领袖，被CCP控制、操纵或强迫，成为中共影响力渗透纽西兰政治、经济、文化等领域的工具，目的是维护中国利益。如在各国都有的成体系的“华人和平统一促进会”，已经被美国列为中国外交使团【9】。如新西兰华星艺术团，以艺术之名传播CCP价值观。【10】【11】
6、我们的小学、中学、大学的学术自由正在受“孔子学院”慢慢的侵蚀破坏，以学习中文和促进文化交流的名义，孔子学院和我们的小学、中学、大学在慢慢推广合作，推广CCP价值观。【12】【13】
7、我们的信仰自由被侵蚀。奥克兰恩泉灵粮堂华人教会牧师周斌在敬拜活动中为一带一路祷告，为中兴祷告。这是亲共教会领袖在隐蔽地植入民族主义。【14】
8、一些亲共侨领越来越有攻击性，动手打人已是常态。2024年最新的是报道是在李强访问NZ时殴打抗议者的几个华人侨领。【15】
9、PRC驻奥克兰总领馆召开志愿者团队成立暨业务培训会议。【16】
10、PRC在全世界的跨国镇压似乎越来越多。Stuff的记录片采访到一位受害者，证明中国代理人试图在NZ绑架他。【17】
我们对这些事实案例感到非常忧虑，这些都是中共在新西兰已经公开的行为，不公开的行动必然更多更严重。
我们意识到，在超级大国的渗透面前，要保卫我国人民的民主自由生活方式，急迫地需要立法补丁。纽西兰是个民主和平开放的小国家，在全球化时代，需要对强大外国的渗透行为进行限制规范，好篱笆才有好邻居。
我们特此强烈呼吁：尊敬的国会议员，为了纽西兰的长远福祉，请借鉴澳大利亚、加拿大、英国、美国的类似立法，制订规范约束“外国代理人”的有关法律，要求：
*1,外国代理人必须登记，相关活动应该透明化；
*2,政治立场为外国宣传的媒体必须登记，资金来源应该申报；
*3,禁止外国人及其代理人干涉我国的选举；
*4,禁止外国人及其代理人的政治捐款；
*5,授权警察和SIS经必须的法律程序，可以对外国代理人的渗透活动采取适当的措施，包括警告、罚款、起诉等。
致礼！
