The distance between China and NZ is 11,000 km. It'll take more than an afternoon. But why would China want NZ?

Australia is a different story, but also quite far away, about 8000 km. But it is possible that China might want Australia someday for its energy resources.

And it would be somewhat enjoyable for China's opponents to see it fighting wars thousands of kilometers away.
