A US report into China's influence in New Zealand has highlighted concerns, including the possibility political sensitivities are stopping our intelligence agencies from investigating. The Hoover Institution, a US think-tank, released its "Chinese Influence & American Interest" report today with New Zealand presented as a case study. New Zealand is said to be particularly vulnerable because of our smaller size and China being a dominant market for dairy and tourism exports.

And wild weather hits much of the North Island, including a lightning strike which injured four at a Hamilton school.
