Governors hail strong ties with China

Editor's note: Ahead of US President Donald Trump's visit to China, we interviewed 10 incumbent or former governors from the United States on their states' strong ties with China. They all expressed their sincere hope for more Chinese investment in their states. Here's what they say about the future of US-China relations.

"I encourage Chinese investors to look at Iowa. I think, you know, we find Iowa to be a very friendly and supportive, a very accepting state for foreign investment. I think in the near future, there is a lot of opportunity. You know, we are seeing more and more interest, obviously we are interested in the economy."
