SUMMARY:China Trade Mission
DESCRIPTION:The Governor's Office of Economic Development\n invites all Utah businesses interested in growing their global markets \nin China to apply to join us on the China Trade Mission 2014.\nUtah has strong ties to China\, nearly one third of all students \nlearning Chinese in the United States are doing so in Utah\, which is \nmore than any other state in America. Additionally\, Utah's former \nGovernor\, Jon Huntsman Jr.\, served as U.S. Ambassador to China from 2009\n to 2011. This trade mission will continue building on our valued \nChina-Utah relationships.China has a rapidly growing middle class which is contributing to \nChina's GDP growth of 466% since 2002. GDP in China is forecast to \ncontinue growing 7.5%   8.5% per annum over the next 30 years and the \nChinese economy is widely expected to surpass the U.S. market in GDP \nsize by 2019.U.S. small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular are major \nbeneficiaries of China's economic growth and increasingly \nconsumer-oriented society. With a rapidly rising middle class and \nintense urbanization\, SMEs are meeting China's demand for American \ngoods. SMEs represented 92 percent of all U.S. exporters to China in \n2010.It is also important to note that international tourism is thriving \nbetween the United States and China. Utah's five National Parks \ncollectively receive more tourist visits than any other single National \nPark in America. As the Chinese tourist market is directed to Utah's \nnational parks\, we will see a large increase of tourism revenue in the \nstate.The main focus of the trade mission centers on helping Utah companies\n find potential business partners in China. We will also be presenting \nto local investors on why Utah is the right place for strategic \ninvestment and collaboration\, and displaying the rich beauty of Utah\, \nwhich is a big draw for Chinese tourists.We understand that business relationships must be bi-lateral to have \nany sort of permanence. This trade mission will demonstrate our \ncommitment to expand that relationship with China even further...learn more at http://business.utah.gov/trade-missions /china2014/
