Dallas woos Chinese businesses
DALLAS, Texas: They may seem as different as Peking duck and rib-eye steak, but China and Dallas, Texas have a lot in common. Both are expanding economically despite difficult times in surrounding regions. China is growing much faster than its Asian neighbors, while Dallas has been hurt less than other cities by the US economic slowdown.
And both China and Dallas are reaching across the globe for new trade opportunities.
Karl Zavitkovsky, director of the Dallas Office of Economic Development, said the city has sent delegations to 21 Chinese cities in the past three years to find trade opportunities.
