Perdue and state delegation continue China business trip

Governor Sonny Perdue’s economic development trip to China has yielded at least one company’s announcement to base its U.S. headquarters in Georgia.

PAX Technology is a Chinese firm that provides secure card electronic payments systems and point-of-sales software. It plans to establish a sales center in Atlanta, bringing about 20 jobs. Within the past two years, a handful of Chinese companies have announced they’ll bring 60-million dollars in investment and more than 650 jobs to Georgia.

Perdue and a delegation of 60 Georgians are in the midst of a five-day business trip to the world’s most populous country. Their goal is to bring more jobs and money to the state.

The trip has also included the opening of a Georgia trade office in Beijing, and the announcement of an exchange between the University of Georgia and Tsinghua University in China.
