关于美国腹地美中协会
United States Heartland China Association (USHCA) is a 501(c)3 bipartisan organization committed to building bridges and promoting opportunities between the peoples of the Heartland Region (20 states located in the USA between the Great Lakes to the Gulf) and the People’s Republic of China. Our focus will be on Trust Building efforts connecting government officials; business leaders; educational and community interests with like minded institutions between the Heartland Region and the People’s Republic of China.
我们的使命
To foster and support a positive, productive, and mutually beneficial relationship between the people of the United States and China by creating more channels of collaboration and opportunities for economic growth in the American Heartland Region.
我们的历史
组织前身是由美国参议员阿德莱-史蒂文森(伊利诺伊州)、律师和教授约翰-罗杰斯,以及中西部州长协会前主席鲍勃-霍尔登(密苏里州)于2003年创立的中西部中国协会。其区域最初覆盖了中西部12个州。2018年,它扩大到为从大湖区到墨西哥湾的20个州服务,并更名为美国腹地美中协会。尽管美国腹地是我们的重心,我们与美国各地需要我们的社区都有合作。
430家财富1000强公司的总部设在美国腹地地区的84个城市。我们的市长领导着美国100个最大城市中的37个。我们的国家GDP在世界排名第一。如果把我们的地区剔除,欧盟将排名第一,中国第二,美国第三。
The U.S. Heartland is the birthplace of many prominent governmental leaders. 15 past United States presidents either come from the Heartland region, or have significant ties here. The leaders of the U.S. House and Senate as well as more than 30 cabinet members are from our region; and we are well represented in the US Conference of Mayors and the National Governors Association.
The USHCA leadership has vast experience in both business and education that uniquely position the organization to forge deep and productive relationships between the people of the U.S. and China.
