Brasília –A trade mission from the Chinese province of Hubei is in São Paulo for meetings with Brazilian businessmen at the Brazil-China Economic Development Chamber. According to the president of the chamber, Paul Liu, the province of Hubei has many attractions for Brazil, such as farm goods, minerals and manufactured items, ranging from clothing to furniture to pharmaceutical products and food. "This is the biggest trade mission that Hubei has ever sent abroad and it could be the beginning of something very fruitful," said Liu.

Hubei has a GDP of some US$50 billion, which makes it economically bigger than São Paulo.
