Recall those who voted against the China FTA
I hope Labour are proud of the China free trade agreement.
This is a graph of our annual exports to China. The growth in exports since we signed a free trade agreement with them has been almost beyond belief.
In the last six years we have exported $33.7 billion of goods to China. In the six years before that, it was $9.9 billion.
Remember those facts as you also recall that NZ First and the Greens railed against the China FTA, and voted against it.
I hope Labour are proud of the China FTA. They should be. May the protectionists in their party and the affiliated unions not gain dominance.
