Press Release Summary: SADIF-Investment Analytics SA has applied its StockMarks(tm)
stock-rating system to China Mobile and produced a research report, rating the
company's attractiveness to long-term investors.

Press Release Body: Mira, Portugal - October 10, 2008 - SADIF Investment Analytics
SA, today announced the release of a new equity research report covering China
Mobile (941=HK). The report utilizes SADIF's powerful StockMarks(tm) stock rating
system and is required reading for any current or potential China Mobile investor.

Report Summary: China Mobile is China's largest wireless carrier with over 425,000
subscribers. The company reported a 17.9% increase in operating revenue a 44.7% rise
in profit attributable to shareholders during the first half of 2008 compared to the
same period a year earlier. Despite these promising results, China Mobile suffered a
sharp decline in its share price of more than 50% since the end of October 2007. The
ongoing decline in the company's share price is fueled by a general downturn in the
Chinese equity markets, the global financial crisis and uncertainty over the effects
that new pro-competition restructuring of the telecommunications industry in China
will have on the firm. However, in order to avoid idle speculation, we should look
at the company's long-term fundamentals before making any investment decision. We
can assess whether the drop in the company's share price is an accurate reflection
of changes in the company's underlying fundamentals through the StockMarks
framework. China Mobile currently has an overall long-term investment-attractiveness
rating (Total StockMark or SMT) of 58, placing the company above the average of
other Hong Kong-listed stocks. This rating ranks China Mobile fourth when compared
to ten of its closest peers, selected on the basis of similarity of business and
market positioning factors such as size.

The complete report breaks down the Total StockMark into its three components -
Business, Management and Price, performing a thorough analysis of China Mobile for
long-term investors.
