I have NZ&#x2F;AU&#x2F;DE. In general NZ passports are better than Australian, particularly for many Muslim countries, but also for many other places like India, where NZ&#x27;ers get visa on arrival. Inexplicably to my knowledge, the reverse was true a few years ago for Tunisia, where Australians had an easier time than Kiwis.<p>Re: police corruption in northern China, I suspect that you may have misinterpreted the situation. Documentation checks for foreigners nearing or leaving border regions are standard in China, I live there and have been through tens of them.
