A spokesperson for Foreign Minister Winston Peters said the minister was surprised to learn that China has taken a decision to, for the first time, impose travel bans on New Zealand MPs as a result of travel to Taiwan.
Foreign Minister Winston Peters has asked officials to "express concern" with Chinese counterparts about the travel bans placed on four MPs.
National's Maureen Pugh, Labour's Duncan Webb, ACT's Laura McClure and NZ First's David Wilson are banned from China for a year after visiting Taiwan in May.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Peters said New Zealand's One China policy had not changed.
