CODE OF ETHICS

1.    Introduction

The Board of Directors of Chardan South China Acquisition Corporation has
adopted this code of ethics (the "Code"), which is applicable to all directors,
officers and employees, to:

o     promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of
      actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional
      relationships;

o     promote the full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in
      reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the
      Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as well as in other public
      communications made by or on behalf of the Company;

o     promote compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and
      regulations;

o     deter wrongdoing; and

o     require prompt internal reporting of breaches of, and accountability for
      adherence to, this Code.

This Code may be amended only by resolution of the Company's Board of Directors.
In this Code, references to the "Company" means Chardan South China Acquisition
Corporation (the "Parent") and, in appropriate context, the Parent's
subsidiaries.

2.    Honest, Ethical and Fair Conduct

Each person owes a duty to the Company to act with integrity. Integrity
requires, among other things, being honest, fair and candid. Deceit, dishonesty
and subordination of principle are inconsistent with integrity. Service to the
Company never should be subordinated to personal gain and advantage.

Each person must:

o     Act with integrity, including being honest and candid while still
      maintaining the confidentiality of the Company's information where
      required or in the Company's interests.

o     Observe all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations.

o     Comply with the requirements of applicable accounting and auditing
      standards, as well as Company policies, in order to maintain the accuracy
      and completeness of the Company's financial records and other
      business-related information and data.

o     Adhere to a high standard of business ethics and not seek competitive
      advantage through unlawful or unethical business practices.

o     Deal fairly with the Company's customers, suppliers, competitors and
      employees.

o     Refrain from taking advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment,
      abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts or
      any other unfair-dealing practice.

o     Protect the assets of the Company and ensure their proper use.

o     Refrain from taking for themselves personally opportunities that are
      discovered through the use of corporate assets or using corporate assets,
      information or position for general personal gain outside the scope of
      employment with the Company.

o     Avoid conflicts of interest, wherever possible, except under guidelines
      approved by the Board of Directors (or the appropriate committee of the
      Board). Anything that would be a conflict for a person subject to this
      Code also will be a conflict if it is related to a member of his or her
      family or a close relative. Examples of conflict of interest situations
      include, but are not limited to, the following:

      o     any significant ownership interest in any supplier or customer;

      o     any consulting or employment relationship with any customer,
            supplier or competitor;

      o     any outside business activity that detracts from an individual's
            ability to devote appropriate time and attention to his or her
            responsibilities with the Company;

      o     the receipt of any money, non-nominal gifts or excessive
            entertainment from any company with which the Company has current or
            prospective business dealings;

      o     being in the position of supervising, reviewing or having any
            influence on the job evaluation, pay or benefit of any close
            relative;

      o     selling anything to the Company or buying anything from the Company,
            except on the same terms and conditions as comparable officers or
            directors are permitted to so purchase or sell; and

      o     any other circumstance, event, relationship or situation in which
            the personal interest of a person subject to this Code interferes -
            or even appears to interfere - with the interests of the Company as
            a whole.

      the Company to others, whether within or outside the Company, including to

and/or disclosure controls which could adversely affect the Company's ability to

      decision) will take or authorize such disciplinary or preventive action as
      it deems appropriate, after consultation with the Audit Committee (if one
      exists) and/or General Counsel, up to and including dismissal or, in the
      event of criminal or other serious violations of law, notification of the
      SEC or other appropriate law enforcement authorities.

discrimination against such person in terms and conditions of employment.
