According to Japanese media reports on March 30th, the head of the Arkansas Economic Development Committee said in an interview that "the state has greatly expanded its relations with China. When Arkansas Governor Hutchinson took office, he took aim at China and decided to introduce as much China capital as possible.
According to the report, after President Trump threatened to impose tariffs on China products on a large scale, the above measures to attract investment from China continued. At the same time that President Trump signed the relevant documents on tariff collection, US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin instructed to impose new restrictions on China enterprises' investment in the United States. In the past 1 year, many acquisitions of American enterprises by China enterprises were opposed by the Committee on Foreign Investment of the United States on the grounds of obstructing national security, and were finally stopped or suspended.
Cabal, the mayor of West Sacramento, California, pointed out that "when the Trump administration absurdly regressed on free trade, American mayors were given the obligation to attract overseas investment to increase capital and employment opportunities while maintaining an open business environment in the United States".
The representative of the American foreign enterprise lobby group pointed out that "smart governors will try to manage their own economic prospects independently." Such a country has promised foreign companies to invest there, and the policy of welcoming investment will not change. "According to the Arkansas Economic Development Committee, China garment manufacturer Shandong Ruyi Technology Co., Ltd. announced in 20 17 that it would open a factory in the state, creating about 800 jobs. The committee also said that investment from China was zero in Arkansas three years ago, and now it is determined that China has invested more than 2 billion dollars in clothing, paper making, heavy machinery and other fields.
According to the report, the non-profit organization "Jobs Ohio", a government representative organization recognized by the Ohio government, sends personnel to China several times a year. During their stay in China, they will meet with China enterprises and provincial cadres, and successfully attract Fuyao Glass Group, which provides automobile glass for China automobile enterprises. The group's factory in Moraine, western Ohio, employs about 2,000 workers.
