ITEM 16F. CHANGE IN REGISTRANTS CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT Effective on September 17, 2009, we dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian CPAs Limited Company (PwC) as
our principal accountant. On September 28, 2009, we appointed Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu CPA Ltd. (Deloitte) to replace
PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian CPAs Limited Company as our independent registered public accounting firm for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Our audit committee and board of directors recommended, authorized and
approved the change in our independent registered public accounting firm. During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and through September 17, 2009, there were no disagreements
between us and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make
reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the consolidated financial statements. PwCs audit reports on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008
did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles. During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and through September 17, 2009, there were no other
reportable events requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F, except that in 2007, PwC expressed
an opinion that we did not maintain effective control over financial reporting, which was due to a lack of sufficient
and appropriate knowledge, experience and training in the interpretation and application of U.S. GAAP. Specifically, we
did not meet the financial reporting requirements for certain areas, including the recording and disclosure relating to
the assessment and determination of functional currency, accounting for financial subsidies, accounting for certain
types of stock option transactions, accounting for certain services provided to vendors, and accounting for certain
investments in preferred stock. Adjustments for the above mentioned areas were incorporated into our final consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 as a result of the involvement of PwC. During 2008, we completed the following remediation efforts specifically designed to address the material weakness
previously identified for 2007:  we hired a new chief financial officer, a new financial director and a new internal audit director, each of whom
has solid knowledge of and experience with U.S. GAAP and SOX compliance; and  we provided various U.S. GAAP and SOX training to our accounting staff, finance department and internal audit
department. PwC expressed an opinion that we maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2008. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 and through September 27, 2009, neither our company nor anyone
on our behalf has consulted with Deloitte with respect to either (a) the application of accounting principles to a
specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the
companys consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the company
that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the company in reaching a decision as to any accounting,
auditing or financial reporting issue; or (b) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as defined in
Item 16F (a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions to Item 16F, or a reportable event, as defined in Item
16F (a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F. We provided a copy of this disclosure to PwC and requested that PwC furnish us with a letter addressed to the
Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made above. A copy of PwCs
letter dated April 16, 2010 is attached herewith as Exhibit 15.5.  2
