Georgia to Open Second Trade Office in China

Georgia plans to open a new economic office in Qingdao, China, next year to get ahead in a city that is growing fast but remains off the beaten path for the state's competitors. Gov. Nathan Deal announced the new office during a stop in Beijing, where Georgia opened its first trade and investment outpost in 2008. Later in the trip, Mr. Deal's delegation visited Qingdao, a port city in eastern China's Shandong province.
Outcomes: 
The move was announced at the U.S.-China Governors Forum in Beijing, where state leaders gathered to deepen ties with their Chinese counterparts, better positioning themselves in the race for Chinese trade and investment.
