The statements set forth under the heading “Taxation,” insofar as they constitute statement of PRC tax law, are our opinion.

Nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that any part of the Registration Statement or any further amendment thereto (other than the financial statements and other financial information contained therein, as to which we need express no opinion), when such part or amendment became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

This opinion is rendered only with respect to PRC Laws and we have made no investigations in any other jurisdiction and no opinion is expressed or implied as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion in, and the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to, the above-mentioned Registration Statement and further consent to the reference of our name in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we fall within the

-6-

Yours faithfully
