         This Agreement on the Confirmation of Rights and Obligations (the
"Agreement") is entered into by and between the following two parties on May 15,
2002 in Chongqing, the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"):

1.       CHONGQING MOBILE COMMUNICATION COMPANY LIMITED, a limited liability
         company duly established and in good standing under the laws of the
         PRC, with its legal address at 134 Yuzhou Road, Jiu Long Po District,
         Chongqing, the PRC ("Chongqing Mobile"); and

         established and in good standing under the laws of the PRC, with its
         legal address at 134 Yuzhou Road, Jiu Long Po District, Chongqing, the
         PRC (the "Service Company").

WHEREAS:

1.       Chongqing Mobile and the Service Company entered into the Assets
         Injection Agreement with China Mobile Communications Corporation
         ("CMCC") on May 15, 2002.

2.       In accordance with the Asset Injection Agreement, CMCC will, in the
         name of CMCC, inject the mobile communication business and related
         assets in Chongqing Province formerly operated and managed by the
         Service Company into Chongqing Mobile.

THEREFORE, in order to confirm the ownership of the interests, assets,
liabilities, personnel and services under the Asset Injection Agreement, the
parties have reached the following agreement:

ARTICLE ONE             CONFIRMATION OF RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS RELATED TO THE
                        ASSETS INJECTION

1.1      Each party hereby confirms to the other party that all the Related
         Assets, Related Liabilities, Related Personnel and Related Services
         under the Asset Injection Agreement (defined in the Asset Injection
         Agreement,) shall be owned or assumed by Chongqing Mobile; accordingly,
         the Service Company enjoys no rights, undertakes no liability and bears
         no expense with regard to the same (unless otherwise agreed upon in
         this Agreement).

1.2      Each party hereby confirms to the other party that, except the Related
         Assets, Related Liabilities, Related Personnel and Related Services
         under the Asset Injection Agreement, all the other services, assets,
         liabilities and personnel (including, but not limited to, all the real
         estate, non-mobile assets and personnel, non-mobile communications
         long-term investments and non-mobile communications liabilities)
         formerly operated and managed by the Service Company shall still be
         owned or assumed by the Service Company; and accordingly, Chongqing
         Mobile enjoys no rights, undertakes no liability and bears no expense
         with regard to the same.

ARTICLE TWO             CONFIRMATION OF RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS RELATED TO
                        CONTRACTS

Each party hereby confirms to the other party that all the contracts in relation
to the Related Assets, the Related Liabilities, the Related Personnel and the
Related Services under the Asset Injection Agreement shall be transferred to
Chongqing Mobile. However, due to the time limit and the enormous amount
involved, the official transfer of certain contracts to Chongqing Mobile may
have not been approved by the other party/parties thereto (the "Non-Transferred
Contracts"). For such Non-Transferred Contracts, the parties hereby agree and
confirm as follows:

2.1      As of the Effective Date (as defined in the Asset Injection Agreement),
         the rights and liabilities, as well as the gains and losses of the
         Service Company generated from the Non-Transferred Contracts shall
         belong to Chongqing Mobile (unless otherwise stipulated in this
         Agreement ), notwithstanding the fact that such Non-Transferred
         Contracts are still held by and performed in the name of the Service
         Company. The Service Company agrees to act as the trustee of Chongqing
         Mobile to receive or hold any interests generated from the
         Non-Transferred Contracts (including but not limited to certain goods
         and loans) on behalf of Chongqing Mobile, and that such interests are
         owned by Chongqing Mobile. Upon demand, the Service Company shall
         deliver such interests to Chongqing Mobile;

2.2      The Service Company shall exercise or perform the rights and
         liabilities under the Non-Transferred Contracts strictly in accordance
         with the instructions given by Chongqing Mobile from time to time, and
         shall not amend any terms of the Non-Transferred Contracts or terminate
         the same without Chongqing Mobile's prior written consent thereto;

2.3      The reasonable expenses incurred by the Service Company for the purpose
         of performing the obligations under the paragraph 2.1 above shall be
         reimbursed by Chongqing Mobile, except expenses incurred as a result of
         negligence or misconduct on the part of, or other reasons caused by,
         the Service Company;

2.4      If, as a result of the Service Company's negligence, misconduct or
         other reasons caused by the Service Company in connection with its
         holding or performing the Non-Transferred Contracts in its name and on
         behalf of Chongqing Mobile under this Agreement, Chongqing Mobile
         sustains any losses therefrom (including but not limited to litigation
         expenses and damages), the Service Company shall sufficiently and
         timely compensate Chongqing Mobile for such losses; and

2.5      If there arises such a need that the rights of Chongqing Mobile under
         the Non-Transferred Contracts (including the rights to initiate legal
         proceedings or arbitration, or to take other necessary actions) be
         exercised by the Service Company in its name, the Service Company shall
         assist Chongqing Mobile by exercising such rights in the Service
         Company's name.

ARTICLE THREE           REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND UNDERTAKINGS

3.1      Each party hereto represents, warrants and undertakes to the other

         of proof evidencing the detailed occurrence of such event, and reasons
         for its inability or delay in performing all or part of such
         obligations under this Agreement. Depending on the extent to which an
         event of force majeure affects the performance of such obligations, the
         parties hereto shall consult each other so as to work out fair and
         reasonable remedies and endeavour to solve the problem.

of such rights or powers.

ARTICLE NINE            SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTE

9.1      Any dispute arising from or in connection with the interpretation or
         performance of this Agreement shall be settled by the parties through

         parties for this purpose. In the case that no resolution is reached
