Bond: Chinese Airlines Needed For Midwest Trade Hub
Top-level Chinese officials assured U.S. Sen. Kit Bond on his trip there last week that they consider establishing a trade hub in Missouri a priority but want Chinese airlines involved in the discussions. Chinese officials were pleased to hear the details of plans to build $40 million in cargo facilities at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, Bond said Wednesday after he met with the Midwest-China Hub Commission at the World Trade Center in Clayton.
