Just last month Chinese President Hu Jintao chose Seattle for his inaugural visit to the United States as head of state. touring a Boeing plant and Microsoft headquarters and noting the "good cooperative relations" between China and Washington State. One out of every four jobs in Washington State is directly tied to international trade. and we have a strong and growing trading relationship with the Asia Pacific region. This relationship has been established. expanded. and nurtured largely through cultural awareness first developed in the region by AsianAmerican immigrants. We all benefit from the contributions Asian Pacific Americans make to our community and country. Asian Pacific American Heritage Month is a celebration of the American spirit. We are a nation of immigrants. and by honoring Asian Pacific Americans. we honor all cultures.
