I believe Michigan is more well known in China, probably because it has a longer history there.

[UM - China Inititiatives for the 21st Century](http://www.ii.umich.edu/um-china/)
There are currently 876 Chinese students (including HK/Macau) studying at the University of Michigan, together with 318 visiting Chinese faculty and scholars.

Ever since Mary Coleman’s visit to China about 3 years ago, the University of Michigan has entered into a number of cooperative agreements with some of China’s major universities, including:

UM-Beijing Normal University’s collaboration in the area of Psychology, Education and Cogitive Neuroscience

UM-Chinese Academy of Sciences’ collaborations in the area of Psychology and Education

UM-Fudan University’s co-established the Institute for Gender Studies

UM Medical School - Fudan University’s academic exchange in the area of Medical Science

UM Medical School - Beijing University Health Science: academic exchange

UM-Beijing University’s collaboration in the area of Psychology and Education

UM-SJTU’s collaborative research in Chemical Genomics and Drug Discovery

and more…

The College of Literature, Science and the Arts (LSA) and the university’s Center for Chinese Studies have recently launched the China Now 2007-08 Theme Year with a series of events including a Dragonboat Race in Gallup Park (http://www.lsa.umich.edu/chinanow/index.asp).
