Press Release Body = CHINA FINANCE CENTRE, the New York based multimedia and trade
exposition center expanding business ties between China and the United States, has
announced that it has suspended further ratings of the performance of Xinhua Finance
Media (NasdaqGM: XFML). The SAQ Ratings are set by editors of China Business Watch,
the CFC publication that rates the performance of China based companies.

Xinhua, a diversified media company in China, operates of five divisions: Media
Production, Broadcasting, Print, Advertising, and Research. Over the last two weeks,
nine law firms have announced that they have filed class action lawsuits against
Xinhua Finance. The lawsuits allege that Xinhua and certain of its officers and
directors with violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, including the failure to disclose and misrepresention of material
adverse facts. On May 21, 2007, Barron\'s published an article on Xinhua which
reported that the Registration Statement for the IPO failed to disclose that
Xinhua\'s Chief Financial Officer, Shelly Singhal, was simultaneously the company\'s
CFO and an investment banker and stockbroker, who ran a securities firm that had
been under regulatory scrutiny in the past year.

These events have led to the issuance of the following statement by CFC:
"In view of the serious nature of the legal filings against Xinhua Finance Media
(NasdaqGM: XFML), China Business Watch SAQ Ratings Service has suspended the
company's SAQ Rating status until further definitive information is made available
and assessed."
