As the power struggle between China and the United States intensifies and questions of Chinese interference in New Zealand and the Pacific are raised in academic and political circles, journalist Richard McGregor fathoms the geo-political climate and the balance of power in our region. McGregor has worked as a Financial Times correspondent in China, wrote The Party: The Secret World of China’s Communist Rulers, and Asia’s Reckoning: The Struggle for Global Dominance, and has a short book about Xi Jinping’s China about to be published. In conversation with Corin Dann.
