Protests in Beijing after Peters' "go back to your own country" remark to Green MP

Protests were held in Beijing after Foreign Minister Winston Peters told Chinese-born Green MP Lawrence Xu-nan to "go back to his own country" in Parliament. The New York Times reported the incident under Peters' ministerial title. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon called the remarks "racist and offensive" but has not yet spoken with Peters, saying both had "been on the road."
