Here’s the list of Alaska companies going to China with Gov. Bill Walker in search of deals

JUNEAU — Alaska businesses with interests in seafood, tourism and investment are among the more than two dozen participants in an upcoming trade mission to China led by Gov. Bill Walker, Walker's office announced Wednesday.

The 26-member delegation includes Alaska Native corporations, tourism and economic development companies, a baby-food maker, a university and even a municipality: the fast-growing Matanuska-Susitna Borough.

The trade mission heads to China next month.

Walker has placed a new focus on promoting trade with the country following the November announcement that three Chinese entities have agreed to work with Alaska to develop the state's huge proposed liquefied natural gas project.

China's president, Xi Jinping, also made a surprise stop in Anchorage last year, which included a seafood dinner with Walker.
