U.S.-China Sub-National Cooperation

The U.S. Mission to China has launched an interagency U.S. government team to promote cooperation between American and Chinese sub-national leaders. We are pleased to provide tailored programs and services to U.S. governors visiting China. We can assist you to promote trade and investment, people to people exchanges and eco-partnerships, and to facilitate provincial contacts, country briefings, and media outreach. For more information, contact our sub-national team at ChinaTeam@state.gov.
