This! But I go much further.
The New Zealand government isn't acting in good faith, they spread false information about the war in Ukraine, they will spread false information about China too if we let them. They will create a narrative that China is bad and China is bombing the children's hospitals in Taiwan, or that China is using chemical weapons 1,000,000 times against Taiwanese soldiers. The government and media will tell lies to get New Zealanders emotionally worked up, in favour of a war against China.
I won't rule out everything that ilovethebomb says. The Chinese government could get angry with another country and invade them - just think about what could happen in 30 years or 50 years from now. There will be more wars and somehow people in the future will be surprised. Some people are apparently surprised that Russia and Ukraine are at war. I was watching RT today and they said that the Americans have built up their air base at Tinian. The same island where the bomber "Enola Gay" flew after nuking Japan.

The USA spends more on the military than the rest of the world combined. Twice as much!
They have bases everywhere including nine in Japan and over 14 in Korea.
US is well prepared for war with China. Look at all these military bases surrounding China https://solidarity.net.au/highlights/us-bases-positioned-war-china/
