Identification of Solid Wastes and Non-solid Wastes

(I)

Judging them according to the working methods and the reasons of the wastes

Judging them according to the working methods listed in Table 1 and the reasons listed in Table 2. If a substance, article or material
has to be treated in a working method listed in Table 1, and satisfies one or more reasons listed in Table 2, it may be judged as

wastes.

Table 1 Working Methods (Omitted)

Table 2 Reasons why the wastes must be comprehensively utilized or be stored or disposed of / Categories of wastes (omitted)

(II)

Judging them according to the features and impacts

To assess whether a substance, article or material (hereinafter referred to as substance) belongs to solid wastes, the following factors
shall be took into consideration:

(1)

General consideration, which includes: whether the substance is produced intentionally, whether it is manufactured to meet the market
demands, whether its economic value is negative, and whether it is a part of the chain of normal commercial circulation or use.

(2)

Features, which includes: whether the production of the substance is under quality control, and whether it meets nationally or internationally
acknowledged norms/ standards.

(3)

Environmental impact, which includes: whether the use of the substance is harmless to the environment when compared with primary products;
whether the use of the substance increases risks to human health or the environment in the process of production when compared with
corresponding raw materials; whether it causes greater risks to human health or to the environment; whether the substance contains
any ingredients harmful to the environment, and such ingredients are not found to be utilizable or re-utilizable in an effective
way in the process of re-circulation in the substituted raw materials or products.

(4)

Use and destination, which includes: whether the substance needs to be further processed before it is put into use; whether it may
be directly applied in production or commerce; whether it may be put into use after a simple repair; whether it is still suitable
for its original purpose; whether it may be used as a substitute for other purposes; whether it is actually applied in production;
whether it has a fixed use; whether it may be utilized in the existing form or without being treated through any working method listed
in Table 1; whether it may not be utilized until treated through a working method listed in Table 1.

To assess whether a substance is a solid waste, all the abovementioned factors shall be comprehensively considered.

The factors to be focused on are also different in light of different objects to be evaluated. The following flow charts may be used
as a reference for identifying solid wastes from non-solid wastes, but at the time of specific application, the identification shall
be made according to the features and impacts of the substance.

Reply of the General Office of the Ministry of Commerce on the Relevant Issues Concerning Stock Equity Alternation of Foreign-invested
Enterprises

Xiamen Foreign Investment Bureau:

We have received your Request for Instructions on Such Issues as the Revocation of Written Instructions on Stock Equity Transfer that
Have Been in Effect for Years but with Controversies of Fact and the Alternation of Investors by Examination and Approval Authorities
(Xia Wai Zi Fa [2006] No. 61). In recent years, administrative disputes caused by the alternation of investors’ stock equity in foreign-invested
enterprises have become a common phenomenon. For the purpose of running administration in accordance with the law, protecting the
legal interests of investors and enterprises, preventing the examination and approval authorities from being involved in civil and
administrative disputes, suggestions are hereby presented as follows:

Administrative commercial departments, during the examination and approval work of the alternation of investors’ stock equity of foreign-invested
enterprises, shall handle all things strictly in accordance with the provisions of related laws, administrative regulations as well
as the Provisions for the Alteration of Investors’ Stock Equity in Foreign-invested Enterprises. Unless upon application by proper
parties or effective decisions by judicial or arbitral institutions with jurisdiction, the examination and approval authorities shall
not voluntarily alter the investors’ stock equity.

Where the examination and approval authorities, while examining the application for alternation of investors’ stock equity in foreign-invested
enterprises, find alternating items that directly bear on major interests of others, they shall, in accordance with relevant provisions
of the Administrative License Law of the People’s Republic of China, inform the interested parties of the right to state, to defend
themselves and to request a hearing.

The applicant for alternation of stock equity shall be responsible for the truthfulness of materials submitted. Where controversies
arise concerning the truthfulness of materials of application, the final decision is left to judicial organs with jurisdiction.

Where the judicial organs find that relevant parties conduct deceptions or refuse to file relevant materials and evidence in accordance
with the requirements of the examination and approval authorities, the examination and approval authorities may revoke relevant documents
of approval in accordance with related laws, administrative regulations and rules.
