Hypocritical

 Recent reports note historical electronic spying on New Zealand by China.

Everyone appears to consider this, due to New Zealand's 2008 FTA with China to be reprehensible. New Zealand has even whinged to the Chinese ambassador about it.

I do mean "everyone", on this the left ad right seem unified.

Well, everyone but me maybe.

Consider the spying report: The report suggests that a decade or two ago China was spying on the "five eyes" countries.

How terrible, particularly because "five eyes" was set up after WWII to spy (they use "gather intelligence") on communist nations (mainly).

China at the time was becoming communist.

5 eyes goes strong, continues to spy on the world, including China.

The reaction to the report is rather interesting.

Do what we say, not what we do!
