Kasich Says To Chinese: We Don’t Like You But We Will If You Invest

Governor John Kasich says he's been pushing China to invest in Ohio. He says, after the November election, he sat with a Chinese delegation...criticized Chinese policies...then offered a way China could improve its image among ohioans. Kasich hints he used blunt language.

Kasich recalls how, in the 1970's, then-Governor James Rhodes convinced Japanese car-maker Honda to build a plant in Marysville....creating thousands of direct assembly-line jobs--and thousands more "spin-off" jobs at nearby auto parts companies.
