Best Buy Supports Website For Minnesota-China Mission

Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty and more than 200 local leaders are participating in a Minnesota-China mission from Nov. 11-19. The Best Buy Children's Foundation is sponsoring an interactive educational website that allows students to learn about China and follow the trade mission through the eyes of seven student ambassadors.

The student ambassadors are bringing their experiences in China directly to their fellow students through daily web logs, digital photos and videos. Students can vote on activities related to the trade mission and send questions to a team of China experts.

The Minnesota China Partnership is a broad-based, statewide initiative to strengthen Minnesota's longstanding relationship with China. This collaborative venture engages public and private organizations throughout the state in promoting all facets of Minnesota's connections with China from trade and investment, science and academia, arts and culture, friendship and understanding, and humanitarian endeavors.
