[Chicago, Illinois - January 8, 2008] At a recent roundtable meeting of senior Chinese state officials and Chicago-area business leaders, Robert J. Kinsella, founder and President of Kinsella Group, shared his insights into the opportunities available to Chinese companies seeking to make investments, acquire companies and access capital markets in the United States. The December 10th, 2007 event was hosted by Lovell's, one of the world's leading international business legal practices, at their downtown Chicago offices. A delegation of more than a dozen officials from China's State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Committee (SASAC) were the honored guests at the breakfast meeting. The SASAC delegation included many of the country's leading in-house counsel, representing industries as diverse as energy, communications, chemicals, shipping, engineering and heavy industry. The morning's discussions focused on two areas: "Trade Secrets and Intellectual Property Asset Management" and "Working with Outside Counsel." In his remarks, Mr. Kinsella described the opportunities for Chinese companies to enter U.S. markets (including acquisition-financing options) and described the work of the Chicago China Economic Development Initiative, which is chaired by Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and whose President, Mr. John Thompson, is based in Shanghai. Mr. Kinsella was assisted in his presentation by Tanya Tan, an Analyst at Kinsella Group.

These companies include Baosteel, ChinaOcean Shipping (Group) Company, China Aluminum, SINOPEC and Petro China; overall assets under SASAC supervision are estimated at US$1.4 trillion.
