Geoffrey Miller: International Relations Expert on Chinese Premier Li Qiang's visit to New Zealand - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

It's expected China will try to sweeten the pot for New Zealand. 

Chinese Premier Li Qiang will arrive in Wellington this week, the first such visit since 2017. 

International relations expert Geoffrey Miller told Mike Hosking that expects he'll want to cover business, education, and likely New Zealand's position on AUKUS. 

He says tempting offers will likely be made to the Prime Minister. 

Miller says an upgraded free trade agreement or wider visa access for Kiwis are potentially on the table. 

Christopher Luxon will then lead a delegation to Japan on Sunday.
