On Thursday, November 10, Governor Rick Snyder departed for an eight-day investment mission to China. The focus of the trip is promoting job-creating business growth and attracting investment in Michigan, plus pushing the state as a tourism destination.

While in China, the governor will meet with government officials, industry executives, and key media. For part of the mission, Governor Snyder will be joined by a delegation led by Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan. This is the first trade mission featuring both the governor and a mayor joining together to make the case for investing in Michigan.

The governor will visit Shanghai, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Beijing, and Nanchang. During his stops, he will promote Michigan business opportunities, make a series of company visits, and connect with senior government leaders. Additionally, as part of his trip, Governor Snyder will visit Shanghai Auto City and join several events with the University of Michigan. While in Beijing, the governor will hold a Michigan press conference to talk about the state’s efforts in mobility, the continuation of Detroit’s comeback, and tourism in Michigan.

The trip marks the Snyder administration’s sixth mission to China.
