About this image

DescriptionTHE CHINESE, WEST COAST CONNECTION.
New Zealand and China have a free trade agreement that came into force in 2008. Over the next ten years many Chinese delegations visited the West Coast seeking opportunities throughout the region including farming, mining, tourism and education. 160 years ago many Chinese also arrived by ship during the great gold rush of the 1860,s. They were hard working and left their mark on the goldfields of Westland.
