Have the Cooks signed up for serfdom?

Politik report:

That commits the Cooks to consult with China before it takes part in any bilateral or multilateral international meetings.

And in a requirement that is raising eyebrows the action plan commits the two countries to “provide support to the candidates of each of the two countries during the elections of the various boards and committees of the organisations to which we both belong.”

So the PM of the Cooks has signed an agreement requiring them to consult with China before taking part in any international meetings, and to vote for any Chinese candidates standing for election in international elections.

I wonder what the price was for their selling themselves to serfdom?
