Alaskan seafood available in China’s online shops   

美国阿拉斯加海产首次“登陆”中国网络购物平台

虽然距离遥远，美国阿拉斯加州仍“瞄准”中国市场，通过开辟新的销售渠道，希望将其海鲜产品更多销入中国。该州的海鲜产品20日首次“登陆”中国的网络购物平台，阿拉斯加海产协会当天在上海召开发布会称，将借此大力推销其海鲜产品。

Shanghai (CNS) -- The state of Alaska has turned its attention to the Chinese market despite the vast and intervening Pacific Ocean. The Alaska Seafood Association (ASA) appeared on China's online shopping websites on July 20, offering a range of products to satisfy Chinese appetites.

"Our association has been working hard to bring more seafood products to the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong ever since 1997," said Yao Jun, a representative of the ASA.

In 2011, seafood products valued at US$ one billion were introduced to China by ASA, 51 percent more than the slate set up for 2010. China slid in behind Japan to become Alaska's second largest import country.
