Jay Nixon on Free Trade

Missouri Governor-Elect


Trade and direct investment between China & Missouri

We've opened new doors for Missouri businesses to sell their goods to China. This trade mission has been another step forward. In addition to the $100 million in export opportunities, the agreement with Zhejiang calls for the provincial government to facilitate $100 million in direct investment in Missouri businesses. Missouri businesses will benefit from continued collaboration, competition and growth in the Chinese market for years to come.
