MPR’s Michael Khoo reports that Governor Jesse Ventura departs for a week-long trade mission to China. Roughly 100 government and business leaders will join Ventura to help promote Minnesota products and services in the world's most populous country.
The delegation is believed to be the largest ever assembled by a state government. While it's billed as a trade mission, some are pressing Ventura to carry an additional message on human rights.
