Description

Shows Prime Minister, Helen Clark holding the hand of a child-sized Foreign Minister, Winston Peters. They are in a China shop and Helen Clark is about to ring the bell for a 'trade deal'. Winston Peters asks what they do if they find evidence that these people have been cracking down on demonstrators but Helen Clark reassures him that they are just looking for 'reliable information'. Refers to the fact that New Zealand is in the process of signing off a trade deal with China but there has been news that the Chinese military has been cracking down on independence protests in Tibet and there have been deaths which means people have called on the government to block any trade deal. Others believe that trade will pave the way for better human rights in China. The PM is in a dilemma.
