Senator Dan Lederman of Dakota Dunes will be in China this week, as part of a cultural and economic mission through the Council of State Governments.  He says it is also a great chance to talk business with Chinese companies.

Lederman says there may be a chance to talk about more formal connections between the state and Chinese governments.

Lederman says he wants to talk about the possible markets for South Dakota grain.

Lederman and his group will spend about a week in China.
