Wayne County Department of Economic Development & the Detroit International Auto Salon Meet Seven Chinese Municipal

DETROIT, MI, Sep 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
Dr. Mulugetta Birru, Executive Director of Economic Development
Department in Wayne County, Michigan, and Mr. Eric Huang, Chairman and
CEO of the Detroit International Auto Salon (DIAS) (OTCBB: DSHL),
returned last week after an eight day trade mission that successfully
engaged several municipal governments in China to promote opportunities
for Wayne County and DIAS. Government officials, executives from private
industry and associations gathered in seven cities to welcome the U.S.
delegation.

"We achieved our goals to engage representatives of Shanghai, Changsha,
Xiangtan, Changzhou, Wuxi, Hangzhou, Changchun and Beijing," said Dr.
Birru. "In a short time, we impressed them with the possibilities to
partner with us."

Dr. Birru and Mr. Huang's delegation arrived in China on August 23rd for
the purpose of attracting premier Chinese businesses to Wayne County. Well
known in China after sixteen prior visits, Dr. Birru is viewed as one of
the most respected U.S. municipal officials. With his extensive
relationships and expertise, he has brokered cooperation between Wayne
County and county businesses with appropriate government institutions and
businesses within China.

"Because Detroit is famous as the world capital of the automotive
industry, there are many ways that emerging and entrepreneurial Chinese
companies can learn from the experiences within Wayne County," explained
Eric Huang. "During this brief but intense trip, we had substantial
discussions with key Chinese municipal executives, including Deputy
Executive Mayor of Changchun city, the Honorable Jiang Zhiying, the
Honorable Xiang Lili, Director General of the Hunan Provincial Department
of Commerce, and Mr. Ai Bin, the Director of Beijing Municipal Bureau of
Industrial Development Department of Automobile and Transportation
Equipment," reported Mr. Huang.

"These preliminary discussions normally lead to the establishment of
strategic cooperative agreements with these cities," said Dr. Birru. "For
instance, Wayne County was invited to set up branch offices in these
cities, enabling both parties to strengthen their communications and
relationships, ultimately leading to better trade between our County and
these cities."

In addition to meetings with municipalities and government agencies, Dr.
Birru met several large and successful Chinese enterprises, including
FAWER, Rzying, and carmakers, Geely, Changfeng and FAW-VW.

Dr. Birru summarized what makes Wayne County and DIAS attractive for China
companies. "The county has very attractive infrastructure for these
companies to operate and distribute. With our two airports, and seaport,
Wayne County has premier logistical services to support air and sea cargo
for distribution into the Midwest and eastern seaboard. Furthermore, the
county is a very attractive location for R & D centers because of the
proximity of many world-renowned colleges and universities. This November,
Wayne County, with the support from DIAS, will host seminars at the major
China International Auto Parts Expo. There, Wayne County Executive, Robert
A. Ficano, will highlight the many attractive business and community
facets to the Chinese business community."
