Andrew Urquhart explores the fine line between foreign influence and foreign interference. Civil liberties advocate Nathan Seiuli discusses the new NZ-India trade agreement and whether human rights should be part of the deal. Thomas Scrimgeour from the Maxim Institute weighs in on China's recent missile tests in the South Pacific and the new Fiji-Australia defence pact. Otago University's Professor Robert Patman rounds things out with analysis on China-US competition in the Indo-Pacific, Middle East tensions, and the shifting global rules-based order.
