    Trump proposes to annex Gaza and ethnically cleanse the territory of Palestinians. Unbelievable.

    What to do with those already here.

    There may be an administrative issue upon renewing passports. It can be fixed upon a new cook islands govt being elected & finding the proper NZ approved records.

    We can adopt a new pacific island country.

    This time give them long term visas like SCV rather than citizenship.

    It would provably be that for Cook Islands future births, they would be Cook Island citizens and not NZ citizens. However, this depends on whether the China Agreement breaks the Treaty of Friendship, and if the Cook Island goes ahead with the plans.

    Britain gave the Cook Islands to NZ to administer when Premier King Dick was a keen imperialist. Maybe Pitcairn is a candidate for transferral to NZ.

    Cook Islands wants its own passport. New Zealand says no https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c623ng6wnweo
    NZ will have to manage this carefully without Winston flying off the handle...Don't know much about Mark Brown
    (ex Kiwi / Aussi perhaps ?), but China might be doing some enticing of officials behind their backs...might drive the Cooks into China's arms...

    Hopefully you find my posts helpful, but in no way should they be construed as advice. Make your own decision.

    EU Aims ‘Bazooka’ at Big Tech in Response to Trump Tariffs.

    Interesting idea is to revoke some IP protections. There's no doubt they are used as a weapon to limit competition particularly from other developed countries.

    Google's Deepmind was a UK enterprise until it was consumed by google so fdi restrictions are useful.
