Governor answers questions on China's investment in Idaho
My
office has responded to numerous calls, e-mails,
and letters about the nature of Idaho's trade
and investment relationship with China.Here is a link to a frequently-asked-questions document that addresses many of the questions and concerns I am hearing from Idahoans about the important subject of Foreign Direct Investment, and investment in Idaho projects by Chinese companies in particular.
Nobody is a stronger, more consistent defender of our Idaho sovereignty than me - from all threats, whether it's a foreign influence or a federal agency here at home.
But with 74,000 Idahoans out of work and limited access to adequate capital resources for Idaho companies to start new businesses and expand existing operations to create jobs, I support efforts to increase trade and investment opportunities with other countries in order to create more jobs for our citizens.
I hope you will join me in our efforts to create careers and economic opportunities in Idaho.
As Always - Idaho, "Esto Perpetua"
