Indiana established a sister state relationship with Zhejiang Province in 1987 and has steadily expanded its export to China since. From 2010 to 2019, Indiana’s exports to China increased 26.8%, making it the 5th largest and one of the fastest-growing exporters of all states. Many global corporations headquartered in Indiana, such as Cummins and Eli Lilly, have benefited significantly from their investments in China. Chinese investments in Indiana are also growing as demonstrated by Nanshan America, which invested more than $100 million in its Indiana facility.  At the people-to-people level, twelve Indiana communities have sister city relationships with Chinese cities and more than 10,000 Chinese students attend universities in Indiana, including Indiana University, Purdue University and the University of Notre Dame.
