Will New Zealand be the main beneficiary of deglobalisation and global tensions?

[sergiorus]

Its extreme isolation caused the country to become the main laggard of the Anglo-world in terms of GDP growth during globalisation, but now that the focus shifts towards self-sufficiency and protection from armed conflicts/invasions, can New Zealand become the real safe haven and the world's leader in quality of life?

It is still not entirely self-sufficient but there's nothing it can't import from relatively nearby countries like Australia and China.

In terms of armed conflicts it's naturally one of the most protected places on Earth too.

What are the realistic risks of investing in New Zealand?

I've read that the super-rich buy land there and build huge underground bunkers with food, water, air purification, etc. That is, they are preparing for a nuclear war, in which case the entire population of the planet will either be killed or affected by radiation and will starve to death, since the soil for agriculture will be poisoned. At the same time, the superrich will enjoy delicious food in their bunkers, entertainment with actresses and models specially taken to the bunker with them, etc.

The risk of such investments is that some world leaders will want to specifically hit this paradise of the bunkers of the superrich with nuclear missiles. Even if the bunker withstands a nuclear strike, the world will cease to exist on the surface. And the only law left in the bunker is physical force. The super-rich will become the first victim of the head of his own security.
