Mayor Delegations to China

Through organizing people-to-people exchanges in culture, education, and business, USHCA promotes a stable and productive U.S.-China relationship to protect and advance the interests of the American Heartland so that:

  • Farmers in the Heartland can continue to expand our exports to China. 
  • Educational institutions in the Heartland can remain competitive and continue to attract the best talent from around the world, including China, where the highest percentage of our college international students come from.
  • Companies headquartered in the Heartland can remain competitive in the global economy by continuing to do business in and sell products to China.
  • Heartland students can have the opportunities to develop a global mindset through learning about the Chinese language and culture.
  • The Heartland community and its leaders have the resources to better understand and engage with China.

We believe successful communities in this connected world are those that are globally minded, globally connected, with leaders that are informed and educated about China, the second largest economy of the world.

USHCA is pound to have organized 2 special Heartland Mayors delegations to China:

We encourage mayors who are interested in advancing the interest of their local community through continued learning to participate in our future mayors’ delegations to China.
