INFORMATION STATEMENT

PURSUANT TO
SECTION 14(F) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE
ACT OF 1934 AND RULE 14F-1 THEREUNDER

INTRODUCTION

This Information Statement is being mailed on or about July 14, 2009 to the holders of record at the close of business on June 29, 2009 (the “Record Date”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of BTHC VIII, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the change of control and composition of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) as contemplated by a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), dated June 30, 2009, among the Company, Megaway International Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Megaway”), and the sole shareholder of Megaway, Wisetop International Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Wisetop”).  The transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement we re consummated on June 30, 2009 (the “Closing Date”).  Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Information Statement to “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are references to BTHC VIII, Inc.

This Information Statement is being furnished pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder.  This Information Statement is provided solely for informational purposes and not in connection with a vote of our security holders.

A copy of the Share Exchange Agreement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as Exhibit 2.1 to a current report on Form 8-K that was filed on July 7, 2009.  

On the Record Date, 6,005,387 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding with the holders thereof being entitled to cast one vote per share.

WE ARE NOT SOLICITING YOUR PROXY.  NO VOTE OR OTHER ACTION BY THE COMPANY’S
SECURITYHOLDERS IS REQUIRED IN RESPONSE TO THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT.

CHANGE OF CONTROL AND CHANGE OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS

On June 30, 2008, we entered into the Share Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of Megaway from Wisetop in exchange for 14,800,000 shares of our Common Stock.  As a condition precedent to the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement, on June 30, 2009 we also entered into a cancellation agreement (the “Cancellation Agreement”) with Mr. Gerald Pascale, whereby Mr. Pascale agreed to the cancellation of 4,805,387 shares of our Common Stock owned by him.  As a result of these transactions, Wisetop became the owner of approximately 92.50% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock, resulting in a change of control of the Company.

On the Closing Date, Mr. Gerard Pascale submitted his resignation from our Board of Directors and appointed Mr. Guohong Zhao to our Board of Directors.  Mr. Zhao’s appointment was effective on the Closing Date, while Mr. Pascale’s resignation will become effective on the 10th day following the mailing of this Information Statement to our stockholders (the “Effective Date”).

To the best of our knowledge, except as set forth in this Information Statement, the incoming director is not currently a director of the Company, does not hold any position with the Company nor has been involved in any transactions with the Company or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates that are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.  To the best of our knowledge, none of the officers or incoming or existing directors of the Company has been the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time, been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses), been subject to any order, judgment or decr ee, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting such person’s involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities or been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

The following includes a summary of transactions since the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described under “Executive Compensation” below).  We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions.

  • On June 30, 2009, we entered into the Cancellation Agreement with Mr. Gerald Pascale, whereby Mr. Pascale agreed to the cancellation of 4,805,387 shares of our Common Stock owned by him.  At the time he entered into the Cancellation Agreement, Mr. Pascale was our sole director and officer.

  • On June 30, 2009, Mr. Guohong Zhao, our Chairman and CEO and a founder of Siping Juyuan, entered into an option agreement with Ms. Jinghua Zhao, an Australian citizen, the sole shareholder of Wisetop, pursuant to which Mr. Zhao was granted an option to acquire all of the equity interests of Wisetop owned by Ms. Zhao.  Mr. Zhao may exercise the option, in whole but not in part, during the period commencing on the 180th day following of the date of the option agreement and ending on the second anniversary of the date thereof.

  • June 30, 2009, Wisetop entered into separate option agreements with the other original founders of Siping Juyuan, pursuant to which such founders were granted options to purchase an aggregate of 10,240,786 shares of our Common Stock owned by Wisetop.  The founders may exercise these options during the period commencing on the 90th day following of the date of the option agreement and ending on the second anniversary of the date thereof.

Except as set forth in our discussion above, none of our directors, director nominees or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our equity securities which are registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our equity securities.  Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.  

Based solely upon a review of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 (and amendments thereto) furnished to us for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, we have determined that our directors, officers and greater-than-10% beneficial owners complied with all applicable Section 16 filing requirements.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Director Independence

We currently do not have any independent directors, as the term “independent” is defined by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Board Meetings and Annual Meeting

During fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, our Board of Directors did not meet.  We did not hold an annual meeting in 2008.

- 5 -


Board Committees

We presently do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee or committees performing similar functions, as our management believes that until this point it has been premature at the early stage of our management and business development to form an audit, compensation or nominating committee.  However, the our new management plans to form an audit, compensation and nominating committee in the near future.  We envision that the audit committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing the services performed by our independent auditors and evaluating our accounting policies and system of internal controls.  We envision that the compensation committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing and approving our salary and benefits policies (including stock options) and other compensation of our executive officers.  The nominating committee would be primarily responsible for nominating directors and setting policies and procedures for the nomination of directors.  The nominating committee would also be responsible for overseeing the creation and implementation of our corporate governance policies and procedures.  Until these committees are established, these decisions will continue to be made by our Board of Directors.  Although our Board of Directors has not established any minimum qualifications for director candidates, when considering potential director candidates, our Board of Directors considers the candidate’s character, judgment, skills and experience in the context of the needs of our Company and our Board of Directors.

We do not have a charter governing the nominating process.  The majority members of our Board of Directors, who perform the functions of a nominating committee, are not independent because they are also our officers.  There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors.  Our Board of Directors does not believe that a defined policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders is necessary at this time because, given the early stages of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations are at a more advanced level.

Stockholder Communications

Our Board of Directors does not currently provide a process for stockholders to send communications to our Board of Directors because our management believes that until this point it has been premature to develop such processes given the limited liquidity of our Common Stock.  However, our new management may establish a process for stockholder communications in the future.
