Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (who turns 100 the day we air) is talking about the potential for war between the United States and China. Increasingly, such talk about our biggest trading partner - China - is not uncommon in New Zealand.
Newsroom's national affairs editor Sam Sachdeva examines what's in store for New Zealand in his book The China Tightrope: Navigating New Zealand's Relationship with a World Superpower.
Sachdeva cautions we are moving beyond a relationship of trading firsts that broke new ground and enriched our exporters, into new and potentially treacherous territory.
