Two Chinese New Zealanders are killed while on their way to a parliamentary select-committee meeting, to warn of the dangers of the Chinese Communist Party. Their friends, left clutching bloodied fliers, fear it may have been sabotage.

In the first part of this four-part podcast, Guyon Espiner and John Daniell begin to investigate the car crash and examine what's worrying the dissident Chinese community here in New Zealand.

They look at the rise of China and of President Xi Jinping and how that's being reflected in New Zealand's universities and parts of the media. They speak to Chinese New Zealanders who were in Tiananmen Square in 1989, look at how close we've grown to China and ask how New Zealand is walking the thin line between China and our western allies.
