LA Works Participates in China Trade Mission Irwindale, CA – LA Works will be participating in a China Trade Mission on September 16 – 25, 2005. The trip is organized by the California World Trade Centers and State of California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency, in cooperation with U.S. Department of Commerce, the statewide California Trade Partners, and other trade associations. The China Trade Mission is business-focused, providing participants from the State of California with cultural, social, economic and political orientations in China. Various business briefings, receptions and meetings will lay the foundation for valuable business opportunities and unforgettable cultural experiences for attendees. There will also be an opportunity to participate in the World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) General Assembly (GA) in Shanghai from September 21-23, 2005. China is the United States’ fastest growing export market and is currently the world’s sixth largest economy. The number one two-way trading partner for the Los Angeles Customs District in 2004 was China with a total of $85.6 billion, a 25.4% gain from the prior year. Los Angles County is the largest international trade center in the United States. It is also a national leader in manufacturing and distribution.
