Houston-China bonds deepen with new group
Governmental officials, members of the Houston Consul Corps and community leaders attended the opening ceremony of US China Partnerships (UCP), a non-profit organization dedicated to creating new ties and strengthening existing ties between Houston and China. The event was hosted by Houston Mayor Annise Parker Wednesday night at Julia Ideson Library and underwritten by Air China. UCP was the brainchild of Fan Bo, an investment businessman who once worked at the foreign investment department of China's Ministry of Commerce and currently serves on the international trade and development council of Houston Mayor's Office.
