The Minnesota-China Partnership is a broad-based, statewide initiative to strengthen Minnesota's longstanding relationship with China. This collaborative venture engages public and private organizations throughout the state to promote all facets of Minnesota's connections with China, including trade and investment, science and academia, arts and culture, and friendship and humanitarian endeavors.
Minnesota Chinese Education Initiatives
In support of the Minnesota-China Partnership, Best Buy Children’s Foundation funded the development of a special web-based educational project, called the Minnesota-China Connection, to provide Minnesota’s students
and teachers with information, resources, and learning tools focused on China.
In addition to the Minnesota-China Connection project, the state has embarked upon an ambitious plan to enhance the study of Mandarin in K-12 schools. The Legislature has provided funding for the state Department of Education to develop a model Chinese language curriculum that will be made available to every school district in Minnesota
