Te hono a te ao Māori ki a Haina: Māori approaches to engagement with China past, present, future
How have instinctive Māori approaches to engagement with China and its people created unique success? How diverse is the range of economic and non-commercial Māori-China ties? What can Aotearoa New Zealand learn from these histories and experiences to continue expanding these links as part of the modern New Zealand – China bilateral relationship?
These are some of the key topics discussed during our research report launch webinar on 24 February.
In February 2025, we launched our latest research report: Te hono a te ao Māori ki a Haina: Māori approaches to engagement with China past, present, future.
The report’s authors, Dr. Jason Mika and Xiaoliang Niu, along with our Council member Kiri Nathan, and Dr Xiaoying Fu of New Zealand Māori Tourism had an in-depth discussion of these and other topics during the launch webinar with our Council’s executive director Alistair Crozier.
This podcast episode is a recording of the webinar. Tune in to listen to the authors’ summary of key findings and the insightful kōrero of the panel.
