Much burgled NZ Professor – China building 5th Antarctic base

The 5th Chinese base is on Inexpressible Island near the western shore of the Ross Sea ~390km norwest of McMurdo(US) and Scott Base(NZ). Map of Chinese Antarctic bases which I can update more as time allows.
University of Canterbury Professor Anne-Marie Brady has been in the news lately having been burgled at her home and work. She has written often on the growing influence of China and in 2017 wrote “China as a Polar Great Power”. On 15Feb18 she gave evidence to the Australian Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security – 9 page Hansard pdf
I have blogged in the past re the Chinese icebreaker Xuelong. A few days ago Xuelong called at Christchurch’s Lyttelton Port on way south. What China is saying re polar research.

  1. There was a great deal on the news about the Professor suffering break-ins/burglaries of her home, campus office and vehicle. Special units of our Police Force have been investigating for several weeks now. However, we have yet to hear of any sort of an outcome or hopefully that the culprit has been arrested. I hope the news is not being “stifled” due to issues of Political sensitivity…ie causing hurty-hurty feelings to Chinese. There were deep suspicions following translations from Chinese media sources. I imagine we are more likely to hear any outcome on this subject from Andrew Bolt in his nightly report from Melbourne, than in the NZ Herald or TVNZ.
