CDC Games' Upcoming Digimon Online Game Rated No. 1 in China's Most Popular Search Engine

Digimon Delivers Highly Successful Close Beta Testing in China
ATLANTA & SHANGHAI, China--(Business Wire)--
CDC Games, a business unit of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA), and
pioneer of the "free-to-play, pay for merchandise" model for online
games in China, today announced Digimon, its upcoming online game, has
secured the No. 1 ranking for the last several weeks in Baidu, the top
search engine in China.

Digimon's Number One ranking is from the "Gamers' Recommendation
List." The rankings are listed on http://g.baidu.com . Baidu allows
players in China to rank games based on factors like graphics, sound,
game play and other features. Since July 10, 2008, Digimon has held
the No. 1 ranking as interest has significantly increased regarding
the upcoming open beta testing and commercial launch of Digimon,
expected during the second half of 2008.

"We are very excited on completing our successful closed beta test
and especially proud of the high interest level gamers have exhibited
on Baidu for our upcoming Digimon release," said John Huen, chief
operating officer, CDC Games. "We believe the popularity will continue
to increase as we launch this much anticipated online game
commercially in the next few months. We believe that Digimon will help
to fuel our continued rapid growth in our games business in China and
add to our existing diversified portfolio of five exciting and
entertaining online games in China."

CDC Games licensed "Digimon RPG" and "Digimon RPG2," from SK
Telecom, a leading mobile telecommunications operator in South Korea.
Both of these online games are based on a widely popular Japanese
television animated series. Players collect and train virtual monsters
called Digimon and battle versus other players. Launched four years
ago in Korea by its developer DIGITALIC, Digimon is already a very
popular and mature game.
