Abstract

The targeting of ethnic Chinese voters is a relatively hidden area in New Zealand politics. This article explores how the two major parties in New Zealand, National and Labour, employed political marketing to target Chinese voters in the 2020 election. The findings reveal that National’s targeting approach lacked clear direction and structure, while Labour failed to demonstrate explicit intentions in targeting the Chinese community. Neither party exhibited a comprehensive understanding of this ethnic group nor developed effective political products to address their concerns. These shortcomings in targeting can be attributed to the broader context of National’s chaotic 2020 election campaign and Labour’s apparent disinterest in engaging with Chinese voters during an election where it already enjoyed a high approval rate among the public. The incomplete targeting efforts by both parties reflect the unique context of an election dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

2020年新西兰大选对华裔选民的草率锁定:国家党和工党的锁定策略探讨
华人选民的目标是新西兰政治中一个相对隐蔽的领域。本文探讨了新西兰两大政党国家党和工党如何在2020年大选中利用政治营销来瞄准中国选民。调查结果显示,国家党的目标方针缺乏明确的方向和结构,而工党未能表现出针对华人社区的明确意图。两党都没有表现出对这个民族的全面了解,也没有开发出有效的政治产品来解决他们的关切。这些定位上的缺陷可以归因于国家党2020年竞选活动混乱的大背景,以及工党在选举期间显然对与中国选民接触不感兴趣,而工党在公众中已经获得了很高的支持率。两党不完全的针对性努力反映了新冠肺炎疫情主导的选举的独特背景。
