Wrap: In Kansas City today, Governor Nixon announced he is leaving for China October 21st.

While in China the Governor says he plans to close deals between Missouri businesses and Chinese buyers.

This travel announcement comes a day after the China-hub legislation died out in the special session.

This means there are no longer tax incentives for investors or a plan to create an international trade hub in an unused terminal at Lambert airport.

Nixon's administration is confident that Chinese buyers will sign contracts despite the failed legislature. His spokespeople say Missouri's products are in high demand world wide regardless of legislative backing.
