Kitzhaber, Hanna On Chinese Television
"John Kitzhaber, Oregon governor of USA" and "Bruce Hanna, Co-Speaker of the House of Oregon state" appeared on a Chinese television news program over the weekend. The two political leaders were grilled on everything from US-China trade policy to President Obama's re-election chances. Kitzhaber and Hanna largely avoided wading into the most controversial issues, noting that most trade policies are set at a federal level. Hanna is part of a delegation of Oregon lawmakers that's heading home today after a two-week trade mission to China.
