The DePaulia: Chicago, China celebrate 30 years of sisterhood
By Katie Tomosiunas, The DePaulia
This month, more than 100 delegates and mayors from two of the world’s superpowers — China and the U.S. — met in Chicago Oct. 22-23 for a historic convening at the Hilton Chicago for the 2015 U.S.-China Sister Cities Conference.
This is the second time this conference has ever taken place. However, it is in commemoration of the long-lasting relationship between Chicago and its sister cities Shanghai and Shenyang, a relationship that celebrated its 30-year history through events spanning the two days.
