Both Australia and New Zealand are important to China, as they are geographically “close” to Asia.

Maori are a Polynesian people of New Zealand. They are the first people to live in where is now that country. Today, they make up about 14 percent of New Zealand’s population. Many scholars believe the Maori began migrate to New Zealand over about 1,000 years ago. In the 1700 all of New Zealand was under Maori control. Individual Maori belong to one or more Maori group, though most no longer live in their group’s traditional territory. As the whole, Maori are poorer than New Zealanders. Most live in cities. Many return to their ancestral territories for birthdays, weddings, and funerals or to help making decisions affecting their groups.
