Team Newsom recently kicked off a nightclub-sounding economic development initiative called ChinaSF. The "public/private" partnership will help connect businesses in China to San Francisco and the Bay Area, helping cash-rich Chinese companies looking to invest or set up shop in North America. So far, SF has scored sweet deals with Trina Solar, a global solar-power company of note, and China Daily, a state-run English-only paper in China. Looks like that Olympic torch mess and human rights violation cheek-tuning San Francisco saw earlier this year was all worth it, right?

Yawn...SFist? SF is roughly 33% Chinese, yet you continue to post one-sided stories regarding China. Why not interview someone living in SF from China and get their perspective of these issues...and America's "human rights" issues.
Nah...mission dweller's wouldn't get it!
I knew that the torch relay trick was in exchange for something!

Asian Americans make up about a third of the population; Chinese Americans constitute the largest single racial group in San Francisco at about a fifth of the population.
