A New Zealand Uighur fears his parents are in Chinese Communist Party internment camps.

And as China becomes increasingly assertive, Western governments push back. But where should New Zealand draw the line?

In episode four we ask what's really going on in Xinjiang and what's happening to the indigenous Uighurs. One New Zealand Uighur speaks out about his missing family and we talk to spying experts about China's intelligence activities. Are our politicians being played? What really happened with MPs Jian Yang and Raymond Hou?

How extreme are China's human rights abuses? And do criticisms of the CCP amount to criticisms of Chinese people? Guyon Espiner and John Daniell conclude their year-long investigation into China's growing influence in New Zealand and the Pacific.
