It is reported that New Zealand is not going along with other Five Eyes members in expanding its role in dealing with China.  NZ is breaking with Five Eyes to chart its own course dealing with China, particularly opposing the Five Eyes' expansion of its original role of sharing intelligence, but later expanded to dealing with China on other issues like Xinjiang and Hong Kong!

Foreign Affairs Minister Mahuta said New Zealand didn't favour invoking the Five Eyes for "messaging out on a range of issues that really exist out of the remit of the Five Eyes". 

  "We are uncomfortable with expanding the remit of the Five Eyes," she said. 

Thumbs up to th smart New Zealanders;  they know which side of the bread is buttered; China is NZ's largest trading partner!

 Less than a handful of male decent leaders in our world.

  However, women's courage is rather mind-boggling once they make it to the top.

Yes, like I said, NZ is happy with the Five Eyes original role of intelligence sharing but not the expanded role of containing China!

It's noteworthy to know the fact that among the Five Eyes Anglo nations of Britain, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, all but Britain is looted from others. 🦹‍♂️

Which again clearly means that NZ is currently happy with its intelligence sharing role in the 5 Eyes group.

Read what the NZ foreign affairs minister said, no expanded role for Five Eyes beyond intelligence sharing; NZ wants to chart its own course dealing with China, not be tied down to Five Eyes Expanded role!  Methinks the kiwis are real smart!

"uncomfortable with expanding the remit" means that NZ is comfortable with its role in the current 5 eyes remit.

Wow; not reduced, but terminated its role...

This obviously doesn't mean that NZ has reduced its role in this agreement.
