Because approximately 200,000 tourists from China visited Hawaii last year, Consul General Zhang wanted to see Hawaii and meet with members of our state government. He and Lt. Governor Chin discussed cultural and business opportunities and the Green Global Island Summit, which Lt. Governor Chin attended and met representatives from Hainan, China.  Lt. Governor Chin emphasized that the State of Hawaii is always interested in expanding global partnerships and generating economic opportunities with other countries.
