SIOUX FALLS, S.D.(KELO.com) – Mayor Paul TenHaken is back from a trade trip to China, his first-ever visit, and, apparently, the first by a Sioux Falls mayor.

"Really went with eyes wide open, not sure what to expect. Just blown away. I mean I was blown away by the technological advancements of a lot of the companies we visited. I was blown away by the hospitality that we were shown…," TenHaken tells Kelo.com News.

TenHaken was part of the inaugural mayoral delegation trip sponsored by the U.S. Heartland China Association.

The mayor's visit comes amid China's many human rights abuses, including in Hong Kong.

"There's a lot of egregious acts that happen in China and visiting there for trade and economic development purposes is not a stamp on all things China," says TenHaken.

TenHaken says its important for Sioux Falls to learn about Chinese business and cultural practices to better encourage more Chinese investment in the city.

-It was eye opening. I was contacted by an organization called US Heartland China Association. Their mission is to improve and establish relations between the 20 heartland states and China

-Just blown away. Blown away by the techonological advancements, by the hospitatlity that we were shown

>Q: what does this mean to the city, whats the bottom line for Sioux Falls?

A: As our economy grows in Sioux Falls, I'm seeing from my chair more and more Chinese influence and connections. Look at Smithfield which is now Chinese owned company. Having discussion with several Chi companies looking to relocate here

>Q: did you make contact with companies looking to open in Sioux Falls area?

A: Definitely, one specifically I'm thinking of just needed to start a US presenece and they opened a manufacturing facility in Los Angeles

>Q: In your letter, Sioux Falls should be in the business of creating deeper relationships with Chinese Cities.

A: Chinese Sister Cities. Build bridges with China economically. Tariffs and tensions was the topic of every meeting and usually we think thats just a federal level discussion but theres a lot of things on state and local level that we can do to ease the tensions

>Q: China Human rights abuses question.

A: We also have egregious abuses happening in our country as well and I can point to a lot of things that we're doing wrong also.

Because there's several policies going on, many of which I disagree with on a lot of levels, the Chinese economy whether we like it or not is a critical part of the US economy.
