Has anyone noticed any changes around the Chinese Embassy or Consulate in Auckland or Wellington?

Or is the change isolated to Christchurch? (Local threat?)

the increase of crime?? possible.. who knows

You spend a lot of time keeping an eye on this place.

Must be getting worried about a ram raid?

You could always fly some drones overhead and see whats going on? 

:P

Mehrts:They're probably keeping an eye on you! 😅

Even have a PTZ on the pole which can look into our main bedroom! (The window I have taped the "blank paper" T-Shirt print to!) So you maybe right!

All Hikvision cameras I see.

Hikvision is mainly owned by the Chinese government.

It's standard Chinese practice now days to have cameras everywhere. I don't mind many cameras, but an installation like that looks excessive.

I saw something online mentioning that Chinese embassies were taunting Chinese citizens with criminal allegations to return, so they would be detained in China. I can't remember the reference sorry.

Also; have a look outside the mosque that had the event that shall not be named. I saw all Hikvision there too.

NZ Govt has passed a law banning Hikvision on Human rights abuses.

Auckland Transport installed over 70 cameras for the Panmure bus way and all of them are Hikvision.

Hopefully they are not into loud music late at night.
Or install scanning Searchlights ! Lowrise Colditz

Just watch out if they start drawing a 'nine dash line' around the suburb !

I expect they want to give their system as much chance as posssible to 
ID people before they get to the gate even. So you have at least one cam gets a good shot.

Beijing denies Chinese police station operating in New Zealand, as authorities probe allegation

New Zealand was on the list of countries with such an overseas police station, but the organisation was uncertain where the claimed police station was located. China’s embassy in Wellington has said the claimed police stations are in fact local “service centres” which have now been closed, though a service centre in Auckland remained open on Thursday.

They’ve got 24hr static guard security…. Maybe the upgrades are to go away from reliance on that service. 
New cycle lanes add a plot twist too…
