Laura McClure: ACT MP on being one of four MPs banned from China after visiting Taiwan

An MP facing Chinese sanctions is refusing to apologise for visiting Taiwan.   ACT's Laura McClure has been banned from China for a year, along with NZ First’s David Wilson, Labour’s Duncan Webb, and National’s Maureen Pugh.   The four visited the self-governing island territory last month.  McClure told Heather du Plessis-Allan it's an intimidation tactic – likely to put people off visiting Taiwan, but she hopes that won't happen.  She says Taiwan has long-been an important economic and cultural partner, like China itself.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
