A Chinese man recently told all of his NZ side mates to come to his homeland for some real Chinese cuisine following China’s offer of visa-free travel to all Kiwis after bilateral talks in Wellington.
Chinese Premier Li Qiang landed in the New Zealand capital on Thursday to begin a trade-focused three-day visit before continuing his diplomatic mission in Australia.
Speaking after the bilateral meeting at a joint press conference at which neither leader took questions Li said China has extended unilateral visa-free treatment to New Zealand.
The travel offer is believed to be for visits of up to 15 days, replicating China’s relaxation to a handful of nations earlier this year.
Li also said New Zealand would be the country of honour at a Shanghai trade expo later this year, and that China stood ready to increase infrastructure investment in New Zealand.
This deal will come in very handy for those who insist their local Chinese takeaway isn’t authentic enough and want to experience the real thing, even though they will order the exact same thing.
