Quotable

"It's great to have 'Experience China' here in New Zealand because it opens up the eyes of New Zealanders to the rich and diverse culture of China, both its classical culture and its modern culture."

PHIL GOFF, former New Zealand trade minister, who signed a free trade agreement with China in 2008, said on the "Experience China in New Zealand" program. Organized by China's State Council Information Office, it features paintings, calligraphy, and the launch of the book Xi Jinping: The Governance of China.
