MFN in the New Zealand-China FTA

While Europe has been criticized for insisting upon MFN in its EPAs with its Caribbean trading partners, it seems New Zealand has managed to negotiate the same in its impending FTA with China. I have been a critic of New Zealand's 'first in' strategy to trade negotiations in the past due to the fact that later countries have always secured a 'better', or at least a more comprehensive deal, but perhaps it has learned its lesson and found a way to benefit from both being 'first in' as well as from later negotiations.

I have not been following the NZ-China negotiations closely, and there are bound to be some large exceptions to the MFN clause, but it seems New Zealand has at the very least ensured it will not be disadvantaged too much from the eventual conclusion of, among others, an Australia-China FTA.
