His comments come at a time when the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance\u2014comprising New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the U.K., and the U.S.\u2014faces increasing pressure from President Trump, who has shown interest in taking over control of Canada and turning five eyes into four eyes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hampton emphasized that as Pacific nations shift their focus toward economic growth and tackling transnational crime, China has leveraged these opportunities to establish strategic agreements that intertwine economic benefits with security cooperation. He noted that China\u2019s ambitions aim to create alternative regional frameworks and amplify its influence within Pacific Island nations, introducing significant foreign interference and espionage risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe People\u2019s Republic of China remains a complex intelligence concern for New Zealand,\u201d he stated. \u201cIt\u2019s imperative that we ensure our Pacific partners are aware of these risks.\u201d This warning comes on the heels of recent agreements struck by the Cook Islands, which have deepened their ties with China in various sectors, including education, infrastructure, and fisheries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last month, Cook Islands Prime Minister Mark Brown formalized these ties through a series of agreements with Beijing, raising alarms in New Zealand due to their constitutional connection, which necessitates consultations on security and defense matters. In anticipation of these developments, Hampton had already traveled to the Cook Islands to provide classified intelligence regarding potential foreign interference to Prime Minister Brown before the agreements were finalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith deeper relationships being forged between the Cook Islands and other nations, my agency will need to enhance our focus on the national security risks involved,\u201d Hampton remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the current geopolitical tensions, especially with changes in the U.S. administration under Trump, Hampton reiterated New Zealand\u2019s commitment to the Five Eyes alliance. He acknowledged concerns regarding the Trump administration\u2019s decisions that may affect relations within the intelligence-sharing partnership, especially his embrace of a thaw in ties with Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Five Eyes alliance is our most enduring and significant intelligence-sharing partnership,\u201d he concluded. \u201cThe insights gained from our collaboration have undoubtedly bolstered the safety and security of New Zealand.\u201d As the dynamics in the Pacific continue to evolve, New Zealand is poised to navigate the complexities of international relations while safeguarding its national interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u5728\u6700\u8fd1\u5bf9\u65b0\u897f\u5170\u56fd\u9645\u4e8b\u52a1\u7814\u7a76\u6240\u7684\u8bb2\u8bdd\u4e2d\uff0c\u56fd\u5bb6\u5b89\u5168\u60c5\u62a5\u5c40\u5c40\u957f\u5b89\u5fb7\u9c81\u00b7\u6c49\u666e\u987f\u5f3a\u8c03\u4e86\u4e2d\u56fd\u5728\u592a\u5e73\u6d0b\u65e5\u76ca\u6269\u5f20\u7684\u5b58\u5728\u6240\u5e26\u6765\u7684\u5b89\u5168\u98ce\u9669\u3002\u4ed6\u7684\u8bc4\u8bba\u6b63\u503c\u201c\u4e94\u773c\u201d\u60c5\u62a5\u5171\u4eab\u8054\u76df\u9762\u4e34\u7279\u6717\u666e\u603b\u7edf\u65e5\u76ca\u65bd\u52a0\u7684\u538b\u529b\u4e4b\u9645\uff0c\u7279\u6717\u666e\u8868\u793a\u5e0c\u671b\u5bf9\u52a0\u62ff\u5927\u5728\u8be5\u4f19\u4f34\u5173\u7cfb\u4e2d\u7684\u89d2\u8272\u65bd\u52a0\u66f4\u591a\u63a7\u5236\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u6c49\u666e\u987f\u5f3a\u8c03\uff0c\u968f\u7740\u592a\u5e73\u6d0b\u56fd\u5bb6\u5c06\u5173\u6ce8\u70b9\u8f6c\u5411\u7ecf\u6d4e\u589e\u957f\u548c\u6253\u51fb\u8de8\u56fd\u72af\u7f6a\uff0c\u4e2d\u56fd\u5229\u7528\u8fd9\u4e9b\u673a\u4f1a\u5efa\u7acb\u4e86\u6218\u7565\u534f\u8bae\uff0c\u5c06\u7ecf\u6d4e\u5229\u76ca\u4e0e\u5b89\u5168\u5408\u4f5c\u4ea4\u7ec7\u5728\u4e00\u8d77\u3002\u4ed6\u6307\u51fa\uff0c\u4e2d\u56fd\u7684\u96c4\u5fc3\u5728\u4e8e\u521b\u9020\u66ff\u4ee3\u533a\u57df\u6846\u67b6\uff0c\u6269\u5927\u5176\u5728\u592a\u5e73\u6d0b\u5c9b\u56fd\u4e2d\u7684\u5f71\u54cd\u529b\uff0c\u8fd9\u5e26\u6765\u4e86\u91cd\u5927\u5916\u56fd\u5e72\u9884\u548c\u95f4\u8c0d\u98ce\u9669\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u4e2d\u534e\u4eba\u6c11\u5171\u548c\u56fd\u5728\u65b0\u897f\u5170\u4ecd\u7136\u662f\u4e00\u4e2a\u590d\u6742\u7684\u60c5\u62a5\u95ee\u9898\uff0c\u201d\u4ed6\u8868\u793a\u3002\u201c\u786e\u4fdd\u6211\u4eec\u7684\u592a\u5e73\u6d0b\u4f19\u4f34\u4e86\u89e3\u8fd9\u4e9b\u98ce\u9669\u81f3\u5173\u91cd\u8981\u3002\u201d\u8fd9\u4e00\u8b66\u544a\u6070\u9022\u5e93\u514b\u7fa4\u5c9b\u8fd1\u671f\u4e0e\u4e2d\u56fd\u5728\u6559\u80b2\u3001\u57fa\u7840\u8bbe\u65bd\u548c\u6e14\u4e1a\u7b49\u591a\u4e2a\u9886\u57df\u6df1\u5316\u5173\u7cfb\u7684\u534f\u8bae\u7b7e\u7f72\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u4e0a\u4e2a\u6708\uff0c\u5e93\u514b\u7fa4\u5c9b\u603b\u7406\u9a6c\u514b\u00b7\u5e03\u6717\u4e0e\u5317\u4eac\u6b63\u5f0f\u7b7e\u7f72\u4e86\u8fd9\u4e9b\u534f\u8bae\uff0c\u56e0\u5176\u5baa\u6cd5\u8054\u7cfb\u800c\u5f15\u53d1\u65b0\u897f\u5170\u7684\u8b66\u89c9\uff0c\u8fd9\u8981\u6c42\u5728\u5b89\u5168\u548c\u56fd\u9632\u4e8b\u52a1\u4e0a\u8fdb\u884c\u78cb\u5546\u3002\u5bf9\u6b64\uff0c\u6c49\u666e\u987f\u65e9\u5df2\u524d\u5f80\u5e93\u514b\u7fa4\u5c9b\uff0c\u5728\u534f\u8bae\u8fbe\u6210\u4e4b\u524d\u5411\u5e03\u6717\u63d0\u4f9b\u6709\u5173\u6f5c\u5728\u5916\u56fd\u5e72\u9884\u7684\u673a\u5bc6\u60c5\u62a5\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u968f\u7740\u5e93\u514b\u7fa4\u5c9b\u4e0e\u5176\u4ed6\u56fd\u5bb6\u4e4b\u95f4\u5efa\u7acb\u66f4\u6df1\u5c42\u6b21\u7684\u5173\u7cfb\uff0c\u6211\u7684\u673a\u6784\u9700\u8981\u52a0\u5f3a\u5bf9\u76f8\u5173\u56fd\u5bb6\u5b89\u5168\u98ce\u9669\u7684\u5173\u6ce8\uff0c\u201d\u6c49\u666e\u987f\u8bf4\u9053\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u5c3d\u7ba1\u5728\u7279\u6717\u666e\u653f\u5e9c\u7684\u5730\u7f18\u653f\u6cbb\u7d27\u5f20\u5c40\u52bf\u4e0b\uff0c\u6c49\u666e\u987f\u91cd\u7533\u4e86\u65b0\u897f\u5170\u5bf9\u201c\u4e94\u773c\u201d\u8054\u76df\u7684\u627f\u8bfa\u3002\u4ed6\u627f\u8ba4\u5f53\u524d\u7279\u6717\u666e\u653f\u5e9c\u7684\u51b3\u7b56\u53ef\u80fd\u4f1a\u5f71\u54cd\u8be5\u60c5\u62a5\u5171\u4eab\u4f19\u4f34\u5173\u7cfb\uff0c\u5c24\u5176\u662f\u4ed6\u4e0e\u4fc4\u7f57\u65af\u5173\u7cfb\u7684\u7f13\u548c\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2018\u4e94\u773c\u2019\u8054\u76df\u662f\u6211\u4eec\u6700\u6301\u4e45\u548c\u6700\u91cd\u8981\u7684\u60c5\u62a5\u5171\u4eab\u4f19\u4f34\u5173\u7cfb\uff0c\u201d\u4ed6\u603b\u7ed3\u9053\u3002\u201c\u6211\u4eec\u5408\u4f5c\u6240\u83b7\u5f97\u7684\u89c1\u89e3\u65e0\u7591\u589e\u5f3a\u4e86\u65b0\u897f\u5170\u7684\u5b89\u5168\u4e0e\u4fdd\u969c\u3002\u201d\u968f\u7740\u592a\u5e73\u6d0b\u7684\u52a8\u6001\u6301\u7eed\u6f14\u53d8\uff0c\u65b0\u897f\u5170\u5c06\u7ee7\u7eed\u5728\u56fd\u9645\u5173\u7cfb\u7684\u590d\u6742\u6027\u4e2d\uff0c\u7ef4\u62a4\u5176\u56fd\u5bb6\u5229\u76ca\u3002<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u65b0\u897f\u5170\u9996\u5e2d\u95f4\u8c0d\u5bf9\u4e2d\u56fd\u5728\u592a\u5e73\u6d0b\u5f71\u54cd\u529b\u7684\u8b66\u544a\uff0c\u7279\u6717\u666e\u5411\u201c\u4e94\u773c\u201d\u534f\u8bae\u65bd\u52a0\u538b\u529b
