           Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (fiscal year ended December 31, 2004)
           Filed:  April 14, 2005
           File No. 0-29169

Dear Ms. Singleton:

     On behalf of Chinawe.com Inc. (the "Company"), we hereby submit a reply to
the SEC comment letter dated 5/17/2005 re: 10-KSB (fye 12/31/2004) [the "Comment
Letter"]. A copy of the Comment Letter is attached hereto.

     The numbered responses below correspond to the numbered comments in the
Comment Letter.

     1. In that the Company continued to incur losses over the past several
years, the Company negotiated with the landlord from whom the Company rented its
office space, an affiliate of the Company, for a reduction of the amount of rent
due in 2004. The Company had provided for such office space rent in the
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 in the amount of Hong
Kong $20,000. Since the request for a reduction in rent was agreed to by the
landlord in 2004, the Company credited the "write back" to the Statement of
Operations for the year ended December 31, 2004.

     In light of the foregoing, please advise as to whether or not such amount
must be reclassified from non-operating income to inclusion within "operating
expenses."

     2. The Company has no currently available credit facilities or any
commitments from shareholders, directors or officers to provide advances, loans
or other financing to the



Company. In light of the execution of the Asset Consulting Agreement, dated as
of April 20, 2005, by and between Huizhou One Limited and Chinawe Asset
Management (PRC) Limited (the "Agreement"), discussed in "Liquidity and Capital
Resources", the Company believes that it will have sufficient funds from
operations going forward. Accordingly, the Company believes that it is no longer
dependent on financing from shareholders, directors or officers of the Company.

     3. We call your attention to an excerpt from the Division of Corporation
Finance: International Financial Reporting and Disclosure Issues, dated May 1,
2001, Prepared by Accounting Staff Members in the Division of Corporation
Finance, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. as follows:

         "F.   Reporting Currency for Domestic Registrants and non Foreign
               Private Issuers

          Regulation S-X presumes that a US-incorporated registrant will present
          its financial statements in US dollars. In rare instances, the staff
          has not objected to the use of a different reporting currency. Those
          instances have been limited to situations where the US-incorporated
          registrant had little or no assets and operations in the US,
          substantially all the operations were conducted in a single functional
          currency other than the US dollar, and the reporting currency selected
          was the same as the functional currency. In these circumstances,
          reporting in the foreign currency would produce little or no foreign
          currency translation effects under FASB Statement No. 52. The staff
          has also not objected when a foreign issuer who does not meet the
          definition of a foreign private issuer applies this approach in
          similar circumstances."

     The Company believes that it meets the staff's criteria for reporting in
RMB since (i) the Company has no assets or operations in the United States, (ii)
substantially all the Company's operations were conducted in a single functional
currency other than the US dollar, i.e., RMB, and (iii) the reporting currency
selected was the same as the functional currency. Also, the Company has always
included US dollar amounts as well.

     Accordingly, the Company believes that it should not be required to amend
its previously reported financial statements. However, the Company is willing,
going forward, to prepare its financial statements solely in US dollars,
especially since the amounts to be paid to the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary
pursuant to the Agreement will be in US dollars.





     Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to your
response.

                                             Sincerely yours,



                                             /s/ Joel I. Frank
