The ASSociated Press has Schwarzenegger Promotes Calif. in China

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger toured China’s largest steel plant Thursday morning, praising its use of California technologies to reduce wastewater pollution.

He also spoke extensively to reporters for the first time during his three-city China trade mission, on topics ranging from China’s human rights record to the country’s struggle to contain the avian flu.

Shanghai is the second city on Schwarzenegger’s six-day trade mission promoting California products and business opportunities. He travels to Hong Kong later in the week.

What a contrast a week and China makes.

The Governor appears to have recaptured the magic of his Hollywood Star Charisma.

Will he be able to translocate his popularity back to California? Will California voters forgive him for an impatient special election where he lost every measure?

Stay tuned as the political rehabilitation of Arnold continues……
