Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker Sees State's Business With China "Taking Off"

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was in China last week attending a China-U.S. Governors Forum in Beijing and Tianjin before arriving in Shanghai to open a new state office to promote trade and other exchanges. He also met Chinese President Xi Jinping on his trip. Walker expressed confidence that commerce between China and his state would increase quickly in the future, especially in the industries of dairy farming, agriculture and water.
Outcomes: 
One area of perhaps unrivaled expertise for the state as it looks to boost its business: agriculture, particularly, dairy farming. The state leader also saw potential for Wisconsin’s water industry to increase its business in China, boosted by spending connected to urbanization.
