Utah's (Chinese) Governor

I had a fun/interesting evening in Utah last week at the Governor’s Gala. Governor John Huntsman has quite an extensive history in Asia—speaks Mandarin, served as the (temporary) Ambassador to Singapore, has an adopted Chinese daughter and another adopted Indian daughter (in process). He claims that he is the only Chinese speaking governor in the US--probably true since most American's don't know China from Japan. My wife (who is Chinese) was duly impressed with his fluency too.By far my favorite part of the evening was the justification from MC and local talent, Kurt Bestor, for his (in the future) support for Gov. Huntsman. He said he likes him because: "1. He rides a Harley, 2. He looks good in a leather jacket, 3. He plays the piano, 4. He has a great looking wife." No mention of political positions, but if you have a "hot wife" and look good in leather, who needs political positions!?Regardless of my views on his (lack of) politics, I believe that he has the vision that politicians and businesspeople need to have to work effectively in the new-increasingly-international world. He knows that Asia, China and India in particular, are important to domestic Utah business and consumers and he leads bi-annual “trade missions” to China and other Asian Countries (he’s in China this week). He doesn’t see China as a threat to Utah jobs, but as an opportunity for the future of Utah’s economy.
