China ‘will not turn inwards’
PA Wellington China will not return to “so-called isolation,” the departing Chinese Ambassador in Wellington, Mr Pei Jianzhang, believes. Mr Pei has been Ambassador to New Zealand since 1973, a term of office covering the last years of the era of isolation and determined self-sufficiency and the beginning of the emphasis on modernisation and the involvement of the developed world’s technology and trading resources. “This is a long-term policy, it will not come
back to tlie so-called isolation,” he said yesterday. Mr Pei will leave Wellington on April 18. The first Ambassador from Peking after the establishment of diplomatic relations, Mr Pei said that in those six years “the friendly relations between o-ur two countries have been developing smoothly.” Speaking through an interpreter, he said he had “personally experienced that the Government and people of New Zealand are friendly to China and they have the desire to develop relations with China.”
