Description: The cartoon shows the head of Prime Minister John Key wearing sunglasses and looking through a Chinese flag in the right lense and an American flag in the left. A rhyme accompanying the image talks about free trade and refers to the United States' agreement to participate in negotiations on a Asia-Pacific regional free trade agreement (FTA) [which] should see "brilliant" economic growth for New Zealand, says Prime Minister John Key. In a speech in Tokyo, President Barack Obama said the US was committed to engaging with the eight-country Trans Pacific Partnership to work on shaping a regional agreement. It was reported he would seek Chile, New Zealand, Singapore and Brunei to form a Trans-Pacific, regional free-trade agreement. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

From: Scott, Thomas, 1947- :[Digital cartoons published in the Dominion Post]

Reference: DCDL-0013679

Description: The cartoon shows President of China Hu Jintao (or maybe a generic Chinese man) shaking his finger at an American Uncle Sam and telling him that he can't talk to China like that when he owes millions. Uncle Sam replies that he will never get a penny back If he uses that tone. Refers to rising tensions between the United States and China. The U.S. has a $233 billion deficit with China, which in turn has lent about $400 billion to the U.S. government by investing a chunk of its $1 trillion of currency reserves in Treasury securities. That gives China a hefty stick with which to beat back U.S. protectionism. Ties have been eroded between the two superpowers because of arms sales to Taiwan by the United States and are now further eroded because of a proposed meeting between President Obama and the Dalai Lama.

In the second frame the Dalai Lama asks the president to let go as he is in danger of choking. Refers to a meeting that Bush had with the Dalai Lama, in spite of serious objections from China. Also refers to Al Gore's being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on global warming. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: A boxed figure of Prime Minister John Key is being promoted as a Christmas gift. It is described as 'another toxic toy made in China. Words on the box read '2 face Key' and 'pliable figure of fun'. Further text reads 'Poison the kids this Christmas!' and 'He shakes hands with everyone except the Dalai Lama'. The NZ Herald has revealed a leaked US Embassy cable that said Key had assured the Chinese premier he would not meet the Dalai Lama. But Key promised voters he would meet him. Foreign Minister Murray McCully insists there was no "official" instruction to senior politicians to avoid meeting the Dalai Lama. Key decided himself to dodge a meeting - and his Cabinet ministers made the same decision, all at the same time, all by themselves. Refers to the Dalai Lama's visit to New Zealand last December 2009.

Description: The Dalai Lama touches his sun cap in farewell to New Zealand commenting that the folk are nice and that he liked the range of hats. Behind him is the Beehive on top of which stand Helen Clark, Prime Minister, Leader of the National Party, John Key and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Winston Peters. All of them are waving goodbye. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

From: Webb, Murray, 1947- :Digital caricatures

Reference: DCDL-0003482

Description: The cartoon shows Chinese President, Hu Jintao, standing on top of the Beehive which is twisting out of shape under his weight. Hu Jintao waves a Chinese flag. In the forefront stands the Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibet, and Prime Minister, Helen Clark, leans out from behind the Beehive with a little wave at the Dalai Lama. Refers to a visit to New Zealand in June 2007 by the Dalai Lama during which there was no formal meeting with the government or the opposition. The reason for this was assumed to be New Zealand's desire for free trade with China and it therefore not being seen as politic to be too friendly with the Dalai Lama because of strained relations between China and Tibet. Helen Clark did meet the Dalai Lama 'by chance' at an Australian airport. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Prime Minister John Key, facing in two directions at once, paddles along a shoreline wearing a gaudy summer shirt and shorts; looking in one direction he says 'Look, I'm relaxed about it..' and looking in the other he says 'There are two sides to this...' He holds a newspaper with a headline reading 'Cables expose Key over Dalai Lama contradictions'. Refers to news that the NZ Herald has revealed a leaked US Embassy cable that said Key had assured the Chinese premier he would not meet the Dalai Lama. But Key promised voters he would meet him. Foreign Minister Murray McCully insists there was no "official" instruction to senior politicians to avoid meeting the Dalai Lama. Key decided himself to dodge a meeting - and his Cabinet ministers made the same decision, all at the same time, all by themselves. Refers to the Dalai Lama's visit to New Zealand last December 2009.

Description: On the left as a chirpy-looking hen sits Finance Minister, Michael Cullen, on a nest of Easter eggs which is labelled 'Economy'. He explains that people should not worry as it will only be a 'technical' recession. In the background a man explains to his wife that this means we are technically shafted. On the right Prime Minister, Helen Clark, angrily tells the Dalai Lama that he has not only jeopardized the Olympics but has also put New Zealand's free trade deal with China at risk. Refers to two current situations. The first is the economic downturn that began in the United States and the second refers to the Dalai Lama's being blamed for encouraging Tibetan independence demonstrations against China as the 2008 Olympic Games, to be held in China in July, approach. The China-Tibet problem also creates difficulties for the trade deal that Helen Clark is in the process of signing off with China because many people believe New Zealand should not have a free trade deal with China while China still has such a bad human rights record.

Description: The scene shows an airport security guard searching Prime Minister, Helen Clark, who has her hands in the air and is declaring that she did not talk about Tibet with the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama stands beside her smiling peacefully. Refers to the visit to New Zealand of the Dalai Lama in June 2007. The Prime Minister did not have a formal meeting with him but they met by chance at an airport in Australia. The reason for there not being a formal meeting was because of the strained relations between China and Tibet and New Zealand's desire for trade agreements with China.

Description: His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet reaches out to shake hands with Prime Minister, Helen Clark. Helen Clark, disguised with a big nose, moustache and spectacles, denies ever having met him before. Refers to the visit by the Dalai Lama to New Zealand in June 2007 and the vexed question of whether the Prime Minister would meet him because of strained relations between China and Tibet. In the event Helen Clark met the Dalai Lama briefly in the lounge of Brisbane Airport. At the time, 2007, both Australia and New Zealand were locked in free-trade talks with China, which was sensitive about the exiled Tibetan leader receiving formal recognition overseas.

The president says 'I haven't caved into Chinese pressure. I decided to meet His Holiness in the White Pantry rather than the Oval Office in case we got peckish...' In fact President Obama welcomed exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama to the White House, drawing an angry reaction from China and risking further damage to strained Sino-US ties.
