Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - We're all used to seeing products on store shelves that were made in China but shoppers in China may soon be buying products made in Central New York. CenterState CEO, the region's business leadership group, has been pushing local business to explore exporting to China. The group has sent multiple delegations to learn how to jump start relationships there. Steven King of the CNY International Business Alliance tells NewsChannel 9, "China's got its own particular ways of doing things, just things such as building relationships with the Chinese is quite a different way than we do here in the States"
