FILE - In this Feb. 17, 2012 file photo, Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping is greeted by California Governor Jerry Brown as Commerce Secretary John Bryson looks on at the JW Marriott hotel before attending the US-China Economy and Trade Cooperation Forum in Los Angeles. California has the highest population of Chinese-Americans and is China's top trade partner among U.S. states. Yet it has no trade offices in China, opting to eliminate them in a cost-cutting move a decade ago, and is feeling the pressure from other states that have been far more aggressive in pursuing business from the world's second-largest economy.
