Award Wining Chinese Cell Phones

Qiao Xing Universal Telephone, the second largest telephone manufacturer in China, announced that the CECT brand mobile phones produced by its subsidiary, CEC Telecom have been named as one of the ten "Outstanding Brand Name" domestic mobile phones in China by the China Electronic News Agency, and Sai Di Consulting Company, and that Ms. Xue Chen, Executive CEO of CECT, has been named as one of the "Influential Personalities for Promotion of Domestic Mobile Phones."

According to the China Electronics News, a daily sponsored by the Ministry of Information Industry of China, foreign brands are losing their dominance in the mobile phone market in China in recent years. In 2002, Chinese brands had successfully captured about 30% of the market and the YTD statistics for 2003 is approximately 50%. Chinese brands are becoming the mainstream products in mobile phone market and the "Ten Outstanding Brand Name" result should further strengthen the competitive edge of the Chinese brands.

Mr. Ruilin Wu, Chairman of XING, said, "We are so pleased that our subsidiary's CECT brand is selected as one of the ten 'Outstanding Brand Name.' This is an excellent reward for all the efforts our CECT staff have put forward and further proof of popularity of our mobile phones in the market. Despite the relatively short history of CECT, it has, and will continue to, develop mobile phones that will appeal to customers of different ages and personalities because they are produced with the most advanced technology, delicate design and unique product image. As with its Q200 series, we believe the C600 series and Smart Pones with embedded Intel200M X-Scale CPU will be very well received. CECT is definitely becoming one of the top mobile phone producer here in China."
