Name: John Robb on Apr 2, 2008Comments: Dear Helen, NZ really needs to show some backbone on this issue. I don't think human lives can be traded for inferior goods and the dubious friendship of people like those running China. Boycott the opening ceremony at the very least!Flag

Name: Donna Mills on Apr 2, 2008Comments: Please, do not be like the chicken on the wolfs back and allow the people of NZ to be put in such a precarious position regarding both its morals and its livelihood. We as a New Zealand economy will survive without this agreement. You are entering into an agreement with the most powerful country in the world and they do not hold either similar values or political alignments. It has been seen that they do not value the natural resources of their own country, as seen in air pollution figures released some months back as China is seen to prepare for the games. Nor do we see the preservation of natural resources such as waterways and forestry in the lands of Tibet. Do not be driven by pride or the short-term thoughts that this will truly benefit our free country. You are being naïve if you think that China will not use its growing economic enormity to influence others into agreeing with its unacceptable policies and ways. I beg of you suspend, delay, postpone, cancel do what ever you can to think further on this decision of signing such an agreement. Donna MillsFlag

Name: Jamie Williams on Apr 2, 2008Comments: I urge you and your parliamentary colleagues to be a voice for the Tibetans inside Tibet who have been gagged for nearly 50 years. Tibet has not enjoyed such international covreage for a very long time so it is vital that this momentum is maintained and with continued pressure from the international community I am hopeful that a positive resolution to the Tibet issue can be reached, but it needs support from governments and people with influence, people like yourself, to take a stand and put human rights before bottom lines.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Apr 2, 2008Comments: While a driver for economic security is strengthening economic relations with what will be the largest economic in 20 years time - this should not be at the expense of civil liberties for Tibetans and other ethnic minorities in a Han dominated Chinese society. Diversity and acceptance are principle measures of democracy. This is not an issue that should be up to negotiation. It is our Government's responsibility to be strong and vocal, just as we have been in the past on issues such as Apartheid in South Africa or ethnic clearing in Croatia. If China wants international acceptance as a modernising/ reforming country (with the Olympics being used as 'modenr' symbol by the Chinese Communist Party) then we cannot accept tokenism. Criticism is part of being a member of the international community. If China chooses to use CER as a negotiation point if we voice 'difference', then we should remain true to our New Zealand utilitarian values and decline CER. A life lost through myopic economic principles is not acceptable!!!!Flag
