Didn't she even mix up China and Japan? I recon this went down really well with the Japanese hosts. Lucky they are polite people ...

Hard to do when it is being forcefed from on high. Better to change the source. Labour supporters are the best postioned to do so but have too much fairydust in their eyes.

By the way Trudeau has been taking some serious stick in the international media. His BS coming back to bite him. Having leveraged every PC trick he can, the PC brigade are going after him for these old "Blackface" photos. Personally from what I saw. I didn't think he had anything to apologise for, but such is the climate he has created, that he is being hung on his own petard.

You keep putting the fake filler in i will give the real stuff. Fact with fiction kinda entertaining.Black and White.

“The CPTPP trade agreement, which came into force on 30 December last year, is already reaping benefits with New Zealand goods exports to Japan increasing by 5 per cent in the first seven months of this year. Key products like beef, kiwifruit, honey and wine have all experienced significant growth this year, earning millions and creating jobs at home.

New Zealand-Japan relationship strengthened

Yes, this trade agreement is already proving its worth. It is, of course, a rejigged version of the originally proposed TPP- minus the USA -which Labour and the Greens fought against while in Opposition.
