Mobile Internet Applications Provider HONG KONG, Dec. 22
/Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DF China Technology Inc.
(OTC:DFCT) (BULLETIN BOARD: DFCT) ( 'the Company'), a leading

the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire DiChain Sky
Digital Co. Ltd ("DSDC") from the Company's parent firm, China
Merchants DiChain Group, in a combination of cash and common stock
in exchange for 100% of the common stock of DSDC. DSDC, founded by
China Merchants DiChain Group, is primarily engaged in designing,
developing, operating and marketing mobile network games and
mobile-internet service applications based on its proprietary
mobile (K-Java) application platform. DSDC is one of the pioneer
mobile-internet (MoNet) developers in China. DSDC has developed
over 30 mobile gaming products and is now beginning to market its
portfolio. DSDC has partnerships with China Mobile, SINA, SOHU, and
TENCENT in co-marketing its products and services. In addition to
mobile gaming development, the Company plans to develop more
commercial applications of mobile-internet services into several
vertical industries, including travel, logistics and mobile-banking
services, all rapidly growing sectors in China. Dr. Frank Fan,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DF China Technology Inc.
commented: "The mobile-internet applications may prove to become
one of the fastest growing IT businesses in China, integrating
wireless, internet and telecommunication technologies. MoNet has
tremendous market potential compared with the traditional internet
business sector. There are currently about 200 million mobile users
in comparison with about 25 million internet users in China. It is
obvious that the market for wireless applications is much larger
than the conventional internet business. The acquisition of DSDC
will add cutting edge technology to our platforms and provide rapid
growth opportunities for DF China Technology. While the acquisition
will not be accretive to earnings in the current year, it will
substantially strengthen our technology infrastructure and broaden
our intellectual property, at the same time positioning us for
faster potential revenue growth in the future.' About DF China
