Photo Peter McIntoshNew Zealand First leader Winston Peters is calling for an urgent inquiry into National Party List MP Jian Yang's involvement with Chinese spy agencies. New Zealand became vulnerable the moment National recruited Dr Yang, Mr Peters said. Mr Peters said Dr Yang had tried to quell the outrage by saying he had been transparent. Mr Peters claimed a Chinese informant, someone he trusted, alerted him to Dr Yang's past in 2011 but could not provide the evidence. The audience was supportive of Mr Peters' call for an immediate inquiry.
