WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Tuesday that no final decision has been made on whether Huawei equipment can be used in a planned network upgrade. Ardern said it was important to note there had been no final decision. Ardern’s comments also come at a time that New Zealand’s relationship with China, its largest trading partner, is under scrutiny. Ardern also rejected reports that some New Zealand exporters were facing delays at China’s border. ADVERTISEMENT“New Zealand and China have differences of views on some issues, as we do with any other country,” Ardern said.
