The number of New Zealanders who perceive China as a threat has climbed.
A new Asia New Zealand Foundation survey says 58 percent see the superpower as a threat, a big jump from last year's figure of 37 percent.
Of the more than 1100 people surveyed, just 13 percent see China as a friend, which is a record low for the survey.
Foundation executive director Simon Draper spoke to Corin Dann.
