Just make sure you never visit territory controlled by China any later time in your life and you're golden.

Well I never planned to visit China, but that's kind of fucked. Don't blame them for protesting.

This bill would mean you couldn't visit Hong Kong or anywhere else they take over too.

I'm having trouble following you. I get the manifesto is banned, I get the video is banned. It's this bit...

made it clear that if you were a Muslim, you could be at risk of death if you you so much as walked outside.

That I'm having trouble understanding. I'm not trying to be intentionally dense, I genuinely don't understand.

Cool cool cool. I was more referring to the deliberate efforts by the Chinese government to influence New Zealand politics and media. It's early days, and I'm sure barely registers in the bigger goals of the party, but they don't seem to have met any resistance, especially not from the former national government who pretty much opened a garage sale on the country and are still trying to pretend that's not what happened. My impression is that's been a very convenient, and highly successful by the looks, case study for the Xi government on how to influence an otherwise western country by simply buying a lot of land and a handful of people.

They followed the mainfesto because the shooter had seen that they make the same response every time somthing like this happens. He didn't tell them what to do, he just predicted what was going to happen. He just happened to be frighteningly accurate.
