Thread: Chinese owner fights access

Small countries in general are vulnerable to this sort of thing. In Switzerland you're not allowed to buy a house unless you live in Switzerland. It's not an unusual law to have really and it's broadly similar to Chinese domestic law in that area.

It is not right to blame anyone else than the NZ Govt for not plugging the leak. OK the leak is above the waterline ("we can control it") but that's no long-term reassurance.
