ANNUAL
MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
To
Be Held October __, 2008
This statement is
furnished in connection with the solicitation of the accompanying proxy by China
Finance, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the
solicitation of proxies from the Company’ shareholders by the Board of Directors
of the Company (the “Board”) to be voted at a Special Meeting of shareholders of
the Company to be held at [____] Eastern time, October __, 2008, and at any
adjournment thereof (the “Meeting”). The Meeting will be held at the Company’s
address
or
at such other place and/or time as the Board may determine in order to
accommodate any significant increase in anticipated attendance at the
Meeting. Notice of any change in the place and/or time of the Meeting
will be given to shareholders of the Company not less than 10 days prior to the
Meeting. Copies of this Proxy Statement were first mailed to
shareholders of the Company on or about [_____], 2008. The Company is
bearing the cost of this proxy.
If the enclosed proxy form
is executed properly and returned in time to be voted at the meeting, the shares
represented will be voted according to the instructions contained therein.
Executed proxies that are unmarked will be voted. Unless instructions
to the contrary are marked thereon, proxies will be voted in favor of each of
the proxy proposals, and in accordance with the discretion of the Board on any
other matter that may properly come before the Meeting. Any
shareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is
voted by delivering to the Company either an instrument revoking the proxy or a
duly executed proxy bearing a later date. Proxies may also be revoked
by any shareholder present at the Meeting who expresses a desire to vote his
proxy in person.
The Board has fixed the
close of business on [_____], 2008 (the “Record Date”)as the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and vote at, the meeting or
any adjournment thereof, and only shareholders of record at the close of
business on that day will be entitled to vote.
As of the Record Date,
there were issued and outstanding 57,671,744 shares of common stock of the
Company (the “Common Stock”). Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one
vote. There is no provision for cumulative voting. Shares
held by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting
will be counted both for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum and
for calculating the votes cast on the issues before the
Meeting. Shareholders may vote their shares directly in person at the
meeting, by proxy using the enclosed proxy card, or, if the shares are held by a
broker or other fiduciary for the shareholder, then such broker or fiduciary may
vote the shares pursuant to the shareholder’s instructions or pursuant to
discretionary authority, if given by the shareholder. Broker
non-votes (proxies returned by a broker holding shares in street name that are
not voted for or against a proposal) are counted toward the required quorum, but
have the same effect as abstentions with regard to the applicable
proposal(s).
If, by the time scheduled
for the Meeting, a quorum is not present, or if a quorum is present but
sufficient votes in favor of any of the proposals described in the Proxy
Statement are not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more
adjournments of the meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. If a
quorum is present, votes will be taken for the election of directors and on any
proposal or proposals as to which there are sufficient votes for approval; and
the remaining proposal or proposals may be considered at an adjourned meeting or
meetings. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a
majority of shares present in person or by proxy at the session of the meeting
to be adjourned.
The persons named as
proxies will vote in favor of any such adjournment those proxies which instruct
them to vote in favor of the proposals to be considered at the adjourned
meeting, and will vote against any such adjournment those proxies that instruct
them to vote against or to abstain from voting on all proposals to be considered
at the adjourned meeting.

PROPOSAL
ONE
ELECTION
OF DIRECTORS
The By-Laws of the Company
provide that the Board shall consist of not fewer than three Directors or the
minimum number of Directors permitted by applicable Laws nor more than nine
Directors, with the exact
number
being set from time to time by the Board. The Board currently consists of three
directors. The individuals named in the table below have been
nominated by the Board for election as directors, each to hold office until the
next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until his or her successor is duly
elected and qualified. Each of the nominees has consented to his or her
nomination and has agreed to serve if elected.
The Company became
registered as a closed-end investment company under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) on June 15, 2007. No registered
investment company may have a board more than 60% of whose members are
“interested persons,” as such term is defined in the 1940 Act. The
Board has determined to ask shareholders to vote on the election of Mrs. Yu (who
is an “interested” director) and the election of Ms. Li and Mr. Yung (who are
not “interested” directors) in accordance with applicable provisions of the
Company’s governing documents, Utah law and the 1940 Act.
If for any reason, any
nominee should not be available for election or able to serve as a director, the
proxies will exercise their voting power in favor of such substitute nominees,
if any, as the Board may designate. The Company has no reason to believe that it
will be necessary to designate a substitute nominee. Each nominee who receives
the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast at the Meeting will be
elected so long as a quorum is present.
The Board supervises the
operations of the Company according to applicable state and federal law and is
responsible for the overall management of the Company's business affairs. The
Directors appoint the officers of the Company who carry out the day-to-day
operations of the Company. The following is a list of the current directors and
executive officers of the Company. Each director who is an “interested person”
of the Company, as defined by the 1940 Act, is set forth
separately.

INFORMATION
Ownership

shareholders. Shareholders wishing to submit proposals for inclusion
in a proxy statement for a subsequent shareholders' meeting should send their
written proposals to Wei Wei at the Company’s address. Shareholder proposals
submitted for inclusion in a proxy statement and form of proxy for the Company's
next annual meeting (or special meeting in lieu thereof) must be submitted
within a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and mail its proxy
materials. Notice of a shareholder proposal submitted outside the processes of
SEC Rule 14a-8 will be considered untimely if not received within a reasonable
time before the Company mails its proxy materials for the current
year.
Shareholder

communicate with the Board or individual directors should write to the Board or
the particular director at the offices of the Company. All communications will

Dissenter’s
Right of Appraisal
. No action will be taken in connection with

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's executive officers
and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the
Company’s shares, to file reports of initial ownership and changes in ownership

filing requirements applicable to its directors, officers and greater than ten
percent owners were complied with during the fiscal year ended December 31,

VOTING
INFORMATION
Voting
Rights
. Shareholders of record on the Record Date are entitled
to be present and to vote at the special meeting. Each share or fractional share
is entitled to one vote or fraction thereof on all matters submitted to
shareholders at the special meeting. The Company has one class of common stock,
which has a par value of $0.001 per share. On the Record Date, there
were 57,671,744 shares outstanding.
If the enclosed proxy card
is properly executed and returned in time to be voted at the special meeting,
the shares represented by the proxy card will be voted in accordance with the
instructions marked on the proxy card. If you specify a vote on any Proposal,
your proxy will be voted as you indicated, and any Proposal for which no vote is
specified will be voted FOR that Proposal. If no instructions are marked on the
proxy card, the proxy will be voted FOR each proposal. Any shareholder giving a
proxy has the power to revoke it prior to its exercise by submitting a letter of
revocation or a later dated proxy card to the Company at the address indicated
on the enclosed envelope provided with this Proxy Statement.
In tallying shareholder
vote, abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e. shares held by brokers or
nominees as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial
owners or the persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee returns
the proxy but declines to vote on a particular matter) will be counted as shares
that are present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but which
have not been voted. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will be
effectively a vote against Proposals 1 and 2.
Quorum;
Adjournment
. A quorum is constituted by the presence in person
or by proxy of the holders of more than half of the total combined value of all
Shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting. In
the event that a quorum is not present at the special meeting or in the event
that a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve any of the proposals
are not received, or for any other reason, the persons named as proxies may
propose one or more adjournments of the special meeting to permit further
solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote
of a majority of those shares represented at the special meeting in person or by
proxy and voting on the question of adjournment. The persons named as proxies
will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote FOR any such proposal in
favor of such an adjournment and will vote those proxies required to be voted
AGAINST any such proposal against any such adjournment. Abstentions and broker
non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of a vote on adjournment. A
shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals in this Proxy
Statement prior to any such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received
for approval and it is otherwise appropriate.
Shareholder
Vote Required
. Proposal 1 requires the vote of a plurality of the
votes cast at the meeting. The three nominees receiving the highest
number of affirmative votes cast at the meeting will be elected so long as a
quorum is present. In the event that a quorum is present at the
Meeting but sufficient votes in favor of any one of the proposals have not been
received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of
the meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will
require the affirmative vote by a majority of the shares present in person or by
proxy at the Meeting. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such
adjournment those proxies that are required to be voted in favor of any one of
proposals 1 or 2. They will vote against such adjournment those proxies required
