The United States Heartland China Association (USHCA) is a bipartisan, not-for-profit organization based in Jefferson City, Missouri, focused on strengthening ties between the US Heartland region and the People’s Republic of China. Its work centers on trust-building among government officials, business leaders, educational and community groups, with an emphasis on fostering educational exchanges, trade, and cultural cooperation to benefit both sides. The organization serves a regional audience spanning 20 states from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, and aims to connect leaders and institutions across sectors to create mutually beneficial relationships. USHCA operates within the public policy arena and positions itself as a facilitator of dialogue and collaboration rather than a commercial entity, with a history dating back to 2003 when it began as the Midwest China Association and later expanded to its current scope. In recent developments, the organization has pursued partnerships with Chinese organizations to advance its engagement programs, reflecting its ongoing activity in cross-border collaboration.
