Chinese embassy in Auckland vandalised amid increasing tensions

May 21, 2020

The Chinese embassy in Auckland has been vandalised with anti-government and pro-Taiwan messages.

In a video, posted to Twitter yesterday, graffiti can be be seen reading "Taiwan #1" and "f*** the CCP" [Chinese Communist Party] across the embassy's fence in Greenlane.

It comes after China heavily criticised New Zealand's calls for Taiwan to join the World Health Organisation. 

Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters also came under fire from the Chinese government earlier this month after telling Ambassador Wu Xi to "listen to your master".

Taiwan has been excluded from re-joining the international health body, with the Chinese government stating there "is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is part of China".
