THVideo: Jeff Hankins on Mike Beebe’s Trade Trip to China

Gov. Mike Beebe has returned from his 12-day trade mission to China, telling reporters on Wednesday that it’s likely two Chinese companies — one in retail and another in timber — soon will announce investments in Arkansas.

Wednesday night, Arkansas Business Publisher Jeff Hankins sat down with Today’s THV’s Craig O’Neill to talk about the possible outcomes of Beebe’s trip, why the trip was important, and what kind of investments Arkansan is seeking from the Chinese.

Hankins also shares his perspective of the Chinese and Arkansas businesses that are already operating there, based on his own trip in 2010, which you can read more about here.
