Key National People Still Sucking up to the Chinese

John Key and Chris Luxon doing joint Q&A on SkyKiwi. Good optics for Luxon (although the fact it's doing the rounds on a few Chinese Embassy accounts might be a bit awkward). https://t.co/YwPUn3ncHo pic.twitter.com/aUr5EM3vMn

You’d think they’d have learned from their donorvirus scandal that being associated with key Chinese Communist Party linked people isn’t a good look, and especially now after what that government inflicted on the world.

It clearly shows that they’ve learned nothing.

For a recap, does anyone recognise the woman second from the top?

Here’s a helping image:

That’s her at the back in red. Need another hint?

That’s her sitting next to Yikun Zhang, National’s patient zero for the donorvirus.

It is, of course, Ping Chen. She is Zhang Yikun’s personal friend, lawyer and mouthpiece.

It’s not a good look for a past leader and a putative leader to be seen still sucking up to the CCP.
