New Zealand’s influence as a nation is on the decline, according to the Lowy Institute’s annual Asia Power Index. NZ is one of only three countries to go backwards, alongside Russia and Myanmar. A traceable drop in diplomacy since 2018 is partly to blame.

Patton says China’s power is described as plateauing due to long-term challenges. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
