A protester allegedly assaulted during the visit of Chinese Premier Li to Auckland in 2024 may have seemed a cut and dried case, given the whole event was captured on video. But on the very same day it featured in a global report on tactics deployed by China to silence protesters abroad, police told the victim they were closing the case. Were police hamstrung by a gap in the law? Or did they not consider the possibility of foreign interference?
