Wanted by China: So How Did They Get into NZ?

Serious questions need to be asked how up to 60 Chinese wanted by China came to be living in New Zealand, says New Zealand First Leader and MP for Northland Rt Hon Winston Peters.

“Clearly we have appallingly inadequate immigration checks if allegedly corrupt Chinese, who are wanted by their own government, have got into New Zealand.

“With immigration running at record levels, now at 124,000 a year, no doubt New Zealand immigration officials are making a quick stab in the dark on each application and moving to the next. It’s the only way they can pretend there is proper processing.

“In China and other countries, word will have circulated, that New Zealand’s paperwork and verification processes are Third World, which probably explains why the 60 Chinese Beijing wants to extradite are here.

“China can blame the Key government for the ability of their wanted criminals to hide in our country.

“The government opened the country up to a flood of immigrants without putting in adequate checks.

“Even worse is Mr Key’s pledge to the Chinese to speed up the immigration process.

“This means that New Zealand is going to further deteriorate into an even larger and confused mess of inadequate investigations.”
