Arizona governor heads to China on trade mission: "PHOENIX - Gov. Jan Brewer will lead a delegation of more than two dozen government and private-sector business leaders on a trade mission to China next week.

The goal of the trip is to drum up new commerce and jobs in Arizona.

The Arizona Republic says the group leaves Wednesday and will visit with dignitaries, firms and government officials in Shanghai, Chengdu, Beijing and Hong Kong.

The delegation also will attend a series of "investment seminars" in which China-based companies will discuss potential expansion opportunities in Arizona."
