The Chinese Embassy summoned New Zealand officials following the release of a joint international statement condemning Beijing’s involvement in malicious cyber activity.

NZ Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta issued a statement after saying, “Areas of difference need not define our relationship, but we will continue to promote the things that we believe in and support the international rules-based system.”
