With the opening of the Tennessee China Development Center in Beijing, the State of Tennessee is making a significant commitment to building relationships with the Chinese people in the area of business, culture, government and education.


The goal for the State of Tennessee is to connect people in an effort to build friendships and to find common areas of interest for the benefit of both China and Tennessee. The government of Tennessee sees the Tennessee China Development Center as the hub of a wheel connecting people and organizations who are seeking to find common interests, whether it is a company interested in a joint venture opportunity, an
investor looking to purchase a business or a university seeking to connect with educators to develop joint programs. The Chief Representative of the Tennessee China Development Center is Li Weaver, an experienced business executive who has lived in both Tennessee and China and who has extensive contacts among government and business leaders in both countries. The Center's dedicated staff is committed to helping bring the people of Tennessee and China together.

The Tennessee China Development Center can assist Chinese companies with information about Tennessee, one of America's best places to do business and can facilitate introductions to government and business leaders in Tennessee who can assist you in opening a business in the United States. The Tennessee China Development Center can also assist Tennessee companies seeking to invest in China.

You are invited to visit the Tennessee China Development Center at your convenience to discuss potential opportunities. We look forward to helping you in any way we can.
