China Cable and Communication, Inc. Issues Demand Letter to Berlin
Stock Exchange for Immediate Delisting Company Says Stock Was
Listed on Exchange Without Its Prior Knowledge, Consent and
Authorization BEIJING, June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Cable
and Communication, Inc. (OTC:CCCI) (BULLETIN BOARD: CCCI) , a
leading China-based cable TV company, today announced that to
protect its shareholders, it has sent a letter to the Berlin-Bremen
Stock Exchange demanding immediate delisting. The Company's shares
were listed on the Exchange without its prior knowledge, consent or
authorization. The Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange listings, which
include numerous U.S. publicly traded companies, appear to expose
the stock of listed companies, such as China Cable and
Communication, to the possibility of "naked short selling." This
practice can force the price of a stock down through the selling of
non-existent shares of stock. "As soon as we learned of this
listing, we notified our SEC counsel to proceed with whatever steps
are necessary to delist our stock from the Berlin- Bremen
Exchange," said Gareth Tang, President of China Cable and
Communication. "We believe the delisting is in the best interest of
our shareholders." About China Cable and Communication China Cable

a foreign investor approved by The State Administration of Radio,
Film and Television ("SARFT"), China's national regulatory
authority for the broadcasting industry, to own interests in and
provide operational management support to cable television networks
in the People's Republic of China (PRC). The SARFT approval
together with the trading of CCCI's common stock in the US, provide
CCCI with a favorable advantage in access to foreign capital. China
Cable and Communication, Inc. trades in the United States, under
the ticker symbol CCCI, in order to provide U.S. investors with the
opportunity to invest in a company that own interests in a PRC
cable television network. For more information, please visit
