ݐݓhY: Where does the China-Michigan commercial relationship stand right now? Which Chinese provinces are in Michigan, which Chinese businesses, which sectors are they investing in Michigan, and which areas do you think are ripe for more growth in your state?

ݐݔb: One of the most important things in the world is whats becoming the mobility industry. Its really the automotive industry combining with the IT industry. Sort of merging together about autonomous and connected vehicles, its about electric system versus internal combustion. So that area is huge. And, were seeing investment from all over China in Michigan and involvement there.

ݐݓhY: Governor, are you concerned a little bit, that for this mission compared to your past missions given where US-China trade tensions stand right nowand of course, there might be some room for further escalation on this front as well?

ݐݔbޔWҨ䔪ڣ[aYvWܤBYTNԱi[ޕѓf{VĒãcYdBޔvȽÐ

ݐݔb: Yeah, there is a real concern. And thats something that I hope doesnt escalate. Weve had great relations, weve seen a lot of success with China in terms of both sides winning. In terms of people having job opportunities they didnt have before. And I think we need to encourage more trade rather than less. So I hope we work through this as effectively as possible and I hear it from Chinese companies, but I can tell you, I hear it from American companies also concerned about how do we keep this in terms of if we have issues to address, lets get them addressed, lets get behind this and lets do more business together.

ݐݓhY: What about investment then Governor, because it seems like Chinese investment heading into the United States right now, its facing more of a hostile attitude environment compared to the past few years. Where does Michigan stand on Chinese investment?

ݐeλäΧާKͲޕäѤääYAђLe]oHѐZٔbvWzä

ݐݔb: We welcome it. And in fact, were encouraging it. Weve continued to see a lot of Chinese businesses come into Michigan. Im excited to see that happen. Were having success stories all the time. GAC just announced a research and development center in Michigan. Other companies are lining up to come and Ive got a whole list of different meetings Im doing on my trip here to say youre welcome, come to Michigan.

ݐݓhY: Washington right now is thinking about imposing tariffs on some 200 billion dollars worth of Chinese goods. And if that does happen, thats really going to hurt small businesses this time around and small businesses are so crucial to the American economy. Whats your take on this issue?

ݐݯSӪ{ImǬ2000fܤYäѬOԵ|˕bägtEޕiN˕bzѳoRDVu

ݐݔb: It is a concern. Thats where we need to work through these issues. Because its not just small business, it raises prices to our consumers. So we need to be thoughtful about that. Again, I think there is still things to improve in terms of trade relations and intellectual propertybut, lets not get in a trade war, lets not create an adverse environment if we can help it because, again that only hurts everyone versus saying we have proactive tradethats the right answer because I view it as it helps the whole world when China and Michigan, or China and America can work well together it sends a good message to everyone.

ݐݓhY: And speaking of the domestic market, China will be hosting its first International Import Expo this November. This is going to be huge, its a mega platform connecting Chinese buyers with sellers from all around the world. How big of an opportunity do you think this is specifically to gain more market share here in China?

ݐݻäΤääޤe11ޤäNEäĒè|०NKnֳXämQdHY˥äBWzγoRIäWa

ݐݔb: I think its a good opportunity. Its a way to build relations. I always tell peoplepeople always underestimate, its hard to do business in another country, just anywhere. Im an old business person, Ive actually done that. And if you can create an environment to facilitate that to make you feel welcomed, to say heres ways you can do it faster, better, easier, that encourages more of this work to get done, which I think is again a very much positivebecause I view this as about long term relationships.

ݐݓhY: So Governor, what is your hope then for the China-US economic relationship going forward? How do the two countries manage their differences but also grow mutually as well?

ݐݱz뤤ܸglNWzi壳äWz~{UH~[єt}i

ݐݔb: Michigan is a great illustration of that. Michigan didnt have much of a relationship with China until I became Governor. Now after eight years, were actually number three in terms of the rank state for the number of jobs created by foreign direct investment from China over the last several years. Thats huge in terms of helping our economy grow. Isnt that the kind of message we want to reinforce with people? And we build great relationships with in particular with some parts of China where we have sister state relationships that I think we have more and more opportunity.
