The resolution highlights the significant economic and cultural contributions of China to the state of Washington. In 2024, China emerged as Washington's largest export market, with goods exports reaching $12 billion, including $857 million in agricultural exports such as beef, fish, seafood, and wheat. The resolution also notes the substantial Chinese American population in Washington, which numbers over 185,000 and represents the largest Asian American ethnic group in the state. This demographic has played a crucial role in the state's cultural and economic diversity, with the Asian American and Pacific Islander population growing by 56% between 2010 and 2020.

Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the longstanding relationship between the United States and China, established through formal diplomatic relations in 1979, which has fostered collaboration in trade, commerce, and education. The Washington State China Relations Council, founded in 1979, has been instrumental in promoting these exchanges. The resolution concludes by recognizing and honoring the contributions of China to Washington's economic growth and cultural landscape, emphasizing the importance of this bilateral relationship.
