Business leaders, government officials and some former Prime Ministers will meet in Auckland today for the China Business Summit.

Commentator, and summit co-chair, Fran O'Sullivan doesn't think New Zealand's relying too much on business with China.

She told Kate Hawkesby people should also remember the Government is trying to diversify trade agreements with Europe and the UK.

"I mean, it's very difficult to expand business internationally in the environment we're in. That's just the plain, hard reality of it."
