Virginia governor to travel to China in July

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Gov. Terry McAuliffe is planning a trip to China in July.

The July 9-12 trip will include a visit to Shandong Tranlin Paper Co. The company announced last week that it plans to invest $2 billion over five years to open a facility in Chesterfield County.

McAuliffe spokeswoman Rachel Thomas tells the Richmond Times-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1laBCD5 ) that the governor also will make other stops related to trade relations and economic development.

Following the China trip, McAuliffe will head to London to visit the Farnborough International Airshow July 13-17.
