Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On April 28, 2009, the Board of Directors of China Wind Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Drew Bernstein as an independent director.  Mr. Bernstein will also serve as chairman of the Company’s audit committee and a member of the Company’s compensation committee.

For services as a director and member of the audit and compensation committee, the Company shall pay Mr. Bernstein an annual fee of $10,000, payable quarterly, and will issue to Mr. Bernstein 74,469 shares of common stock.  He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts (AICPA), The New York State Society of Certified Public Accounts (NYSSCPA) and The National Society of Accountants (NSA).

Mr. Bernstein, age 52, is co-founder and managing partner of Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP, an accounting firm headquartered in New York, a position he has held since 1983.  Mr. Bernstein, a certified public accountant, received his BS degree from the University of Maryland Business School.

The election of Mr. Bernstein follows the resignations on April 24, 2009, of Gerald Goldberg and Raymond Pirtle, Jr., after one year of service.  Mr. Goldberg and Mr. Pirtle were independent directors and members of the audit and compensation committees, with Mr. Goldberg serving as chairman of the audit committee.  The resignations of Mr. Goldberg and Mr. Pirtle did not stem from any disagreement with the Company.
