Chinese Market "Absolutely Critical" to U.S., Says State Agricultural Official
BATON ROUGE -- The Chinese market is absolutely critical to the United States, as it is not only huge but also full of potential, a U.S. state agricultural official has said. "China is a huge country with more than a billion people, and you're importing a great deal of your food," Mike Strain, commissioner of the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, told Xinhua in a recent interview on how he evaluates the role of the Chinese market.
