Thanks for sharing.

Lots of red flags in there:

- China moving towards increased domestic food supply
- Government financial support for China's Kiwifruit industry
- Chinese companies developing their own varieties and IP

What's the bet NZ trained some of their scientists in our education facilities?

Red flags?

- China moving towards increased domestic food supply

This is a good thing, and should be fully supported by a anti globalist and populist like you. But apart from that, its good as well from an ecological and food security related perspective - less transport emissions and more diversity.

- Government financial support for China's Kiwifruit industry

Well, yes - most governments think it prudent to support their agriculture in one way or another. Just look at Europe or the States. How do you see our governments support for agricultural research?

- Chinese companies developing their own varieties and IP

Good on them. Competition is great, will increase diversity and competition and improve life for the consumer.

- What's the bet NZ trained some of their scientists in our education facilities?

So what? This is the way humanity is moving forward. Europeans learned from Chinese and Arabs most of their early medical knowledge. Most of our food staples come from the Americas ... populated at that time by people coming from Asia.

Isn't it great if we give some of that knowledge back ... and even to get them to pay for their education here?
