Manchin Goes To China - Updated

Gov. Joe Manchin has begun his multi-day trade mission to China - the first by any sitting governor, Public Broadcasting reports.

The trip started off in Shanghai, "a huge, exciting, anachronistic mess," according to Public Broadcasting's Scott Finn, who is accompanying the state's trade delegation.

Finn is both filing stories and blogging during the trade mission.

MetroNews
also has a story on the trade trip, with audio from Development Office Executive Director Steve Spence.

Update: The Charleston Daily Mail offers a rundown of the rest of the trade delegation, with plans to feature columns from several of them during the trip.

I have followed the stories of the China trip with great interest, partly because I am going to China with a business group from Carmel CA in March and I would like to visit a high school or community college (if they have such a thing).

How would I start to set that up in, say, Beijing?
