Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei has planned to make a massive investment in research and development in New Zealand.

The plans include the building of a cloud data center and establishment of innovation labs in Christchurch and Wellington.

The company will spend 400 million NZ dollars (281.8 million U.S. dollars) over 5 years on the investments, according to the New Zealand government.

Experts believe that business connections between China and New Zealand could help boost China’s innovation and hi-tech industry.

CRI's reporter Bob Jones had an interview on the issue with Bruce McKern, a professor from China Europe International Business School.
