Row in New Zealand over journalist's eviction

The New Zealand government is facing accusations of kowtowing to Beijing after the incident I reported earlier this week about police evicting a journalist from a photo opportunity with a visiting Chinese leader. The reporter, Nick Wang, was accused by Chinese officials of being a member of Falun Gong, a religious sect outlawed in China but lawful in New Zealand. Prime minister Helen Clark claimed Wang, editor of Capital Chinese News, was creating a disturbance but video footage showed otherwise. (Via Wellington Dominion Post)
