Viking Tao Quoted in China Daily USA

Viking Tao, a director of Kane Russell Coleman & Logan PC, discussed Chinese investment in Texas in a recent China Daily USA article.

"China is already one of the state's top trading partners.  With the launching of non-stop flights between Houston and Beijing last year and non-stop flights between Dallas and Shanghai and Hong Kong, we are seeing an increased interest from Chinese investors in a variety of industries, including energy, real estate, technology and manufacturing," said Viking.

Viking said that many Chinese companies seeking to invest in the U.S. look at California and New York first because they are more familiar with those two states, but now many have come to realize the benefits of investing and doing business in Texas.

"No state income tax, a pro-business legal, regulatory and business environment, and the low cost of living in the state are three key advantages attracting foreign and out-of-state businesses and individuals to Texas," Viking said.

As a member of the China Practice Group, Viking represents Chinese companies in cross-border mergers and acquisitions in a variety of industries, including real estate, hospitality, oil and gas, renewable energy, consumer products, manufacturing, and technology.  She also advises American businesses on investment in China as well as business transactions with Chinese companies investing in the U.S.
