520 |a China Inc., the business arm of China's repressive dictatorship, is trying to take over the world by grabbing key sectors of various countries' economics as part of its strategic plan for global control of the world's resources. For the moment it is concentrating on economic methods of domination but, should they not proceed at the desired rate, then military force becomes more than a possibility. Indeed, there can be no other explanation for China's rapid and unnecessary build-up of armaments, intimidation of its neighbours in the South China Sea, and its penetration into other oceans and continents where it has no legitimate purpose or presence. China chose New Zealand as the first Western country with which to have a Free Trade agreement, which is more about colonising and dominating our economy than about free trade. Since then New Zealand government has bent over backwards to accomodate the interests of China Inc. - often at the expense of prospects and interests of ordinary New Zealanders, e.g. the refusal to do anything meaningful to halt the unnatural rise in house prices, fuelled in large part by Chinese cash, and the unnecessary grants of approval for the alienation of the Crafar farms and the giant Silver Fern Farms co-operative to Chinese interests. This book should be read by every New Zealander since it affects the future prospects of the country in respect of economic welfare, sovereignty and national security. It is a case of getting a grip on the situation now or sleepwalking to a situation where we will finish up as lowly paid serfs in the land that was built by the sweat and toil of the pioneers.
