"Accordingly, the government has directed officials to review all of New Zealand's policy settings with respect to Hong Kong to determine the appropriate nature of our cooperation going forward. We will continue to monitor the law's impact on the people of Hong Kong, with whom we share close links," said Peters. Earlier today, the Government's travel advisory warned New Zealanders in Hong Kong they face an increased risk of arrest. Temporary visa holders from Hong Kong will be offered an extra five years in the country and a pathway to citizenship.
