Apparently.
You wouldnt know that, of course, from any information coming out of the governors office, which has refused to give all but the most general information about Walkers trip to China.
And you certainly wouldnt know it by tracking media coverage of the trip, which has relied almost exclusively on press releases coming from the governors office.
