Six local Chinese govts commit to growing links with Golden State

Despite various restrictions put in place by the United States federal government, China's investment into the country is expected to pick up in years to come, especially in the new energy and infrastructure sectors, after six Chinese local governments and California signed an agreement on Wednesday to increase trade and investment links.

The Ministry of Commerce will help promote Chinese investment in the US, and business exchanges between China's local governments and the US states, said Vice-Minister of Commerce Wang Chao during a meeting in Beijing.
