Wrap: 

Spokesperson Scott Holste confirms Gov. Nixon's trip to China on a trade mission in October.

The overall goal of the trip is to boost Missouri exports.

He says although the United States receives a lot of imports from China, Missouri exports grew significantly in 2010.

Run Time:  00:13
Description: "We want them to work to make sure that is very much a two way street. And we think the success that we've had in marketing Missouri exports over the last couple of years is showing the quality of Missouri goods."

Holste says he has no idea who's going to finance the trip at this moment.
