China And West Virginia Working On Coal Partnership
WEST VIRGINIA....
Eighteen professors and officials from the China University of Mining and Technology were in West Virginia this week to form a new partnership. The school signed a memorandum of understanding Thursday afternoon to collaborate with West Virginia University on mining research. West Virginia, the second-largest coal-producing state, has been working hard to forge ties with China. In March, Governor Joe Manchin offered technical help when 150 Chinese miners were trapped in a flooded underground operation. And last fall, 13 West Virginia companies that supply the mining industry went to China with the hopes of landing contracts there.
