CHINA Cdc Corp. (MM)

CDC Global Services, a business unit of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA) and a provider of IT and IT-enabled services and consulting, announced that it signed a memorandum of understanding with the Administrative Committee of China Merchant’s Zhangzhou Economic and Technology Development Zone (“China Merchant Group”) to invest in a High-Tech Food Processing Park in that region, as well as to plan projects involving the development of food processing technology solutions and aged care solutions for the China market.

As part of this partnership, CDC Global Services and China Merchant Group plan to set up a R&D center near Xiamen University Campus to develop new software solutions for the food processing industry, focusing on areas such as food safety. As part of this agreement, CDC Global Services and China Merchant Group also plan to host an international food safety IT application seminar in Zhangzhou in the second quarter of 2011. In addition, both organizations plan to study how to use IT to enhance management level and service quality of the aged care market in China. CDC Global Services also expects to leverage the expertise and solutions of CDC Software that offers its Peoplepoint solutions, which enable care suppliers to achieve business efficiencies while improving the quality of care for their elderly residents.

"We are very excited to partner with China Merchant Group to promote food safety and aged care projects in China,” said CK Wong, CEO of CDC Global Services. “We also are creating a model to follow within this region with the collaborative partnership formed between corporate business, government and a higher learning institute. Zhangzhou has agricultural resources which give the food processing industry a solid foundation. That is one reason why we believe this project is a good investment. We also believe our aged care project with China Merchant Group will eventually be ideal for that region when you consider the favorable combination of fine ecological, cultural science, tourism, sports and leisure, entertainment and eco-living resources there. We believe that all of these attributes will contribute to the development of a modern aged people care and services business in China."

Hu Zheng, executive director of the Administrative Committee of China Merchant’s Zhangzhou Economic and Technology Development Zone and corporate vice president of the China Merchant Group said, "We welcome CDC Global Services’ investment in Zhangzhou. In the past few years, we have made great progress here, however, most of our development was focused on the construction of ports, highways, machinery manufacturing, and metal products. CDC Global Services’ projects represent a milestone for the transition of our industrial structure here."

Zhangzhou Development Zone is a national development zone and has already completed the industrial layout of three of its core industries: food, machinery and metals manufacturing. Food manufacturing represents a key target industry for Zhangzhou Development Zone.
