China has firmly rejected and condemned a new annual report by the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service on Friday which once again fabricates and sensationalizes claims about so-called "Chinese interference" and "China threat," stressing that the report is rife with Cold War thinking and contains unfounded accusations against China.
This report is clearly linked to a series of recent negative developments in New Zealand's China-related policies, a Chinese expert told the Global Times on Friday. 
Recently, New Zealand has continuously toughened its rhetoric toward China, which to some extent reflects a form of "compensatory hawkishness" aimed at demonstrating its reliability within the Five Eyes alliance, Chen Hong, director of New Zealand Studies Centre, East China Normal University, told the Global Times. "Rather than reflecting 'strategic confidence,' this trend may reveal a sense of 'identity anxiety,'" Chen said. 
The New Zealand intelligence agency claimed in the report released on Thursday that China is the only nation pursuing espionage in New Zealand at scale, Radio New Zealand reported. It also claimed that such activity posed threat to New Zealand, which is the "most challenging of recent times."
Many of its unfounded accusations against China either maliciously label normal exchanges, communication and cooperation as so-called espionage or interference activities, or are simply baseless fabrications. China absolutely rejects and firmly opposes this, the Chinese Embassy in New Zealand said in a statement released on Friday. 
The release of this report at this time is part of a new round of attacks, smears and vilification of China orchestrated by certain international forces. In itself, the report may well be the result of foreign interference, the embassy said. 
In June, security agencies from the "Five Eyes" alliance issued a warning, claiming that Chinese spies used online job platforms to recruit people with access to sensitive information, according to a Reuters report.
For now, the annual report has further escalated its rhetoric, effectively creating a chain in which the Five Eyes' warnings and New Zealand's domestic threat assessments reinforce and echo each other, the Chinese expert said. 
The Lowy Institute said in a latest article on Thursday that New Zealand had long been considered the weakest link in Five Eyes and the easiest for China to try to cow. "But New Zealand has now called out China by name in its intelligence warnings so often that officials joke it has become tougher on Beijing than Australia is," the article said. 
The extent to which New Zealand's intelligence agencies have publicly singled out China has in fact gone further than Australia's, which, I think, represents a compensatory hardline posture, Chen noted. 
"New Zealand wants to demonstrate that it is a very active and very tough member of the Five Eyes. In fact, we have recently seen New Zealand take a high-profile stance on issues ranging from Pacific Island countries and China's relations with South Pacific and South China Sea nations to China's missile tests and other China-related issues. All of these developments can be viewed in the context of this policy shift," the expert said. 
This suggests that some forces within New Zealand's security and foreign policy establishment are consciously trying to demonstrate that New Zealand is not a weak link in the Five Eyes alliance, but rather an active participant, Chen added. 
The report also reflects the fact that some people both within and outside New Zealand do not want to see China-New Zealand relations develop positively. By going to great lengths to spread rumors, they seek to drive a wedge between the peoples of the two countries, create a chilling effect among the public, including overseas Chinese, undermine bilateral mutual trust, and obstruct the development of bilateral relations, the embassy noted. 
Their actions serve geopolitical purposes and the narrow, short-sighted political interests of certain forces. Their intentions are clear to anyone with insight, and their objectives will not succeed.
The embassy also noted that the essence of China-New Zealand relations is mutually beneficial cooperation and win-win outcomes. In recent years, with the joint efforts of both sides, bilateral relations have made steady progress. Bilateral trade has repeatedly reached new highs, bringing substantial income and employment opportunities to New Zealanders. 
People-to-people exchanges have continued to grow, with the numbers of tourists and international students increasing steadily, promoting mutual understanding and closer ties between the peoples of the two countries. The overseas Chinese community in New Zealand has played a unique and important positive role in this regard. 
Since China introduced a unilateral visa-free policy for New Zealand, many New Zealand tourists have visited China, witnessing firsthand China's development achievements and openness and inclusiveness, the embassy said. 
As a result of various factors, New Zealanders' understanding of China has become more comprehensive and objective in recent years, while favorable views of China and support for China-New Zealand relations have continued to rise
The embassy also warned those forces and individuals attempting to engage in political manipulation: Do not undermine the hard-won, mutually beneficial and win-win China-New Zealand relationship for your own selfish interests, thereby harming the interests of New Zealand and its people. 
Acting as pawns for anti-China forces internationally will ultimately prove counterproductive. Creating controversies in foreign relations will not solve New Zealand's problems; it will likely only make matters worse, the embassy said, urging these forces and individuals not to resort to desperate measures that will ultimately harm themselves, or lift a rock only to drop it on their own feet.
China attaches importance to its relations with New Zealand and is willing to work with the New Zealand side, on the basis of the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, to advance exchanges and cooperation in various fields, including political mutual trust, practical cooperation and people-to-people exchanges, and to better benefit the peoples of both countries, the embassy said. 
However, the development of China-New Zealand relations does not depend on China alone. We hope the New Zealand side will work in the same direction as China, rather than the opposite. Otherwise, the New Zealand side will bear responsibility for any consequences arising from such a course of action, it noted.

为了回应宁夏农民对篮球的热爱，宁夏2017年启动首届农民篮球争霸赛，为农民篮球搭建更广阔的舞台。如今，农民篮球争霸赛已成为宁夏品牌赛事，随着人民生活水平不断提高，这场精神盛宴也愈加“丰盛”。在日前于宁夏吴忠市奥林匹克体育中心落幕的宁夏第五届农民篮球争霸赛上，除了由国家级裁判和一级裁判组成的专业执裁队伍、特邀解说嘉宾、达到国家级赛事要求的场馆设施外，宁夏22个县（区、市）派出征战的农民球员水平也令人惊叹。“农民篮球参赛队伍这一届更明显地体现出年轻化、专业化的特点，有些队伍是清一色的返乡大学生，赛事越来越精彩。”宁夏篮球联合会副秘书长、曾解说过CBA赛事的特邀嘉宾白子焱说。

四 | 从尘土飞扬的乡村赛事中脱颖而出的单明成已参加过四届农民篮球争霸赛，37岁的他是西吉中学体育老师，队伍里不少球员都是他的学生。

五 | “篮球给了孩子们更好的出路，让他们考上好大学。现在乡村体育设施越来越好，这些孩子的水平也越来越高。”他欣慰地说。宁夏体育局统计数据显示，截至2021年底，西海固地区篮球场（多功能运动场）达到3790个。随着宁夏农民篮球争霸赛影响力逐渐扩大，从上届赛事开始，宁夏体育部门就组织对这一赛事进行现场转播，并配备专业解说。白子焱说，在持续五天的赛事中，每天线上观看比赛的人数逾12万，除了宁夏本地观众，还有不少甘肃、陕西等西北地区的观众。

六 | 像王风强这样的草根农民篮球主播现场也有好几名。从去年冬天观看了一场当地的篮球赛后，王风强就开启了球赛直播之路，他的“强哥爱篮球”账号如今有2万多名粉丝。

七 | 他家里养牛、种地的收入，一年不过十万元。为了支持他的直播“事业”，妻子先后卖了三头牛，给他买了直播相关设备，并给他充足的路费和吃住费用。为了节省费用，王风强有时睡在车上，中午有时不吃饭。“比赛打到哪，我就直播到哪，就是希望更多人知道宁夏篮球。”还有不少西海固地区球迷“组队”驱车数百公里去看球赛。

八 | 50岁的马兴明家住宁夏中卫市海原县，特意请假放下工地工作，在比赛第二天和另外两名球迷开车赶来看比赛，三人挤在附近宾馆100多元一晚的小房间里。“这是我第一次跨地区看球赛。虽然开销大，但是现在日子也没那么愁了。

九 | 篮球是我的精神追求，家人都支持。”马兴明说。白子焱说：“宁夏球迷对篮球的热爱很纯粹，球迷的专业化程度也在提高。前两届比赛还有球迷给其他地区球队喝倒彩的情况，现在是宁夏篮球一家亲，球迷们给两边一起加油。
