New Zealand has suspended its extradition treaty with Hong Kong in light of China's controversial national security law. China has described the move as gross interference and a "violation of international law".

Karyn Hay speaks about the possible impacts of the suspension with Dr Jason Young from the China Research Centre at Wellington's Victoria University.
