    INTRODUCTION                                                              
                                                                              
    As mentioned in the announcement dated 6 May 2004 issued by the           
    Company and the Company's circular dated 27 May 2004, the Company         
    intended to apply to the CSRC for the issue of not more than              
    1 billion A Shares. The proposed A Shares Issue and the ancillary         
    matters (including the proposed amendments to be made to the              
    articles of association of the Company in connection with, and            
    to cater for, the A Shares Issue) were conditionally approved             
    by way of special resolutions at the 2004 EGM and the 2004 CSMs.          
    These resolutions were, in compliance with and as legally                 
    required under the relevant PRC laws, passed with effect for              
    a period of one year from the date of the 2004 EGM and the 2004           
    CSMs, each expiring on 21 June 2005.                                      
                                                                              
    As at the date of this announcement, the Company had applied              
    to the CSRC for the A Shares Issue and the CSRC had indicated             
    on 1 April 2005 its acceptance to review such application. The            
    A Shares Issue is, as at the date hereof, not completed, and              
    the Company will endeavour to complete the A Shares Issue as              
    soon as practicable. In the circumstances, the Board has, in              
    compliance with the relevant PRC laws and regulations, resolved           
    to seek approval from the Company's shareholders, by way of               
    special resolutions to be sought at the 2004 AGM and the 2005             
    CSMs, to approve the following:                                           
                                                                              
    (a)     conditional on the passing of the resolution as set out in        
    paragraph (b) below, to refresh the validity period of all                
    relevant resolutions relating to the A Shares Issue and referred          
    to in special resolutions numbered 1  (save as the Private                
    Placement Arrangements) in the notice of the 2004 EGM and the             
    2004 CSMs, both dated 6 May 2004 issued by the Company in the             
    same structure and manner and in essentially identical terms              
    as those considered and passed at the 2004 EGM and the 2004 CSMs          
    for a further one year; and                                               
                                                                              
    (b)     conditional on the passing of the resolution as set out in        
    paragraph (a) above, to refresh the validity period of the                
    Private Placement Arrangements considered and passed at the 2004          
    EGM and the 2004 CSMs for a further one year.                             
                                                                              
    CDGC and TJIC and their respective associates will abstain from           
    voting on the resolution set out in paragraph (b) above at the            
    2004 AGM.
