CHINA BROADBAND CORP.
NOTICE OF WRITTEN RESOLUTION OF
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the management of CHINA BROADBAND CORP., a Nevada Corporation ("Corporation"), solicited votes from selected shareholders of record ("Selected Shareholders") on November 20, 2003, to consider and act upon:
These Selected Shareholders approved the above motion in a written resolution. However, the Corporation's management does not intend to take any corporate action to enact this resolution until such time as it has fulfilled its obligations under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, management is sending this notice to you. Proxies are not being solicited as management has received sufficient votes to approve the above proposal. The approximate date on which this information statement is being mailed to security holders is December 10, 2003.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU
By Order of the Board of Directors,
/s/ Matthew Heysel

INFORMATION STATEMENT
Written Resolution of the Shareholders
This Information Statement is furnished in connection with a written resolution of a majority of the shareholders of the Corporation as of November 20, 2003. This Information Statement is being sent to shareholders of record of December 8, 2003. The cost of distributing this Information Statement will be borne by the Corporation which may enlist the assistance, and reimburse the reasonable expenses, of banks and brokerage houses particularly in connection with their customers whose stock is not registered in the owner's name, but in the name of such banks or brokerage houses. The mailing address of the Corporation's business offices is 1980-440-2nd Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 5E9.
Shareholders Entitled To Vote
Only shareholders of record of the Company's Common Stock at the close of business on November 20, 2003 were entitled to vote on the written resolution. On that date, 23,196,603 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") were issued and outstanding. Each shareholder was entitled to one vote for each share held of record on the record date. The holders of a majority of the total shares of common stock outstanding on November 20, 2003 constituted a quorum for the transaction of business in the written resolution. As management is not soliciting proxies and has already obtained sufficient votes to obtain a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted toward fulfillment of quorum requirements. A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that proposal and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. A list of the shareholders of record as of November 20, 2003 will be filed in the Corporation's minute books as an attachment to the written resolution.
Voting On The Written Resolution
The passing of the proposal required the affirmative vote of a majority (11,598,302 shares) of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on November 20, 2003. There were 23,196,603 common shares issued and outstanding on November 20, 2003.
Interest of Certain Persons in or Opposition to Matters to be Acted Upon
No person who has been a director or officer of the registrant at any time since the beginning of the last fiscal year, nor any associate of the foregoing persons, has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the written resolution.
No director of the Corporation has informed the Corporation in writing that he intends to oppose any action to be taken by the Corporation at the meeting.
Proposals by Security Holders
There are no proposals by any security holders.
Matters Approved In The Written Resolution
Name of the Company
The Corporation's Board of Directors proposed changing the name of the Company from CHINA BROADBAND CORP., to CHINA ENERGY VENTURES CORP., which it felt was a more suitable name for the nature of business the Corporation intends to conduct. Although the name change has been approved by an affirmative vote of 11,897,526 shares or 51.3% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding shares, the Corporation is required under Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations to file this Schedule 14C and no corporate action may be taken on this resolution until 20 days from the mailing of this Schedule 14C. Therefore, the Corporation expects to take all necessary corporate actions to effect the name change in January 2004.
Householding
On December 4, 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted amendments permitting companies and intermediaries to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and information statements with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or information statement to those shareholders unless the Corporation is otherwise advised by the shareholders. "Householding" as this is commonly known, reduces the amount of duplicate information that shareholders receive and lowers the Corporation's printing and mailing costs.
