Trade hopes with China bigger in Texas

Charles Foster, chairman of US China Partnerships in Houston, just returned from a trip to China with a large delegation led by the city's Mayor Sylvester Turner and Houston Great Partnership President Bob Harvey.

"I think it's important for Houston to raise a flag in China. I have encouraged the mayor not to think of this as a onetime trip and said to him, 'You should go to China every year. We should think to set up an office in China'," Foster said.

During his most recent visit to China, a positive atmosphere could be felt, Foster said.
