In this talk, I start with a brief introduction to Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD) and its applications to quarkonium physics. This theory has provided a consistent framework for the physics of quarkonia, in particular, the colour-octet Fock components predicted by NRQCD have important implications for the phenomenology of charmonium production in experiments. We discuss the applications of NRQCD to J/ψ production at Tevatron and the tests of the theory in other experiments. Finally we discuss the production of the 1P1 charmonium state, hc, at large-pT at the Tevatron. The observation of hc is interesting, since its existence has yet to be experimentally confirmed. Moreover, this rate is a prediction of NRQCD, and the observation of the hc at the Tevatron can, therefore, be used as a test of NRQCD.
