HUIZHOU, China, Dec. 10, 2010 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ --

This press release is issued for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to subscribe for or buy any security, nor is it a solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of the securities referred to in this press release in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law.

Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the Proposed Offer (defined below) or securities to be issued in connection therewith, or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this press release, or the merits or fairness of the Proposed Offer. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq: XING) (the "Company" or "XING"), an emerging Chinese resource company with a focus on several strategically important nonferrous metals such as molybdenum and copper, today provided an update on the progress of the proposed privatization (the "Proposed Privatization") of its 61%-owned subsidiary Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. (NYSE: QXM) ("QXMC"). The Company announced the filing of an amendment to its Schedule 13E-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company is optimistic that it will be in position soon to distribute the Schedule 13E-3 and apply to the High Court of Justice of the Virgin Islands (the "Court") for a meeting date (a "Court Meeting") for QXMC shareholders to approve the Proposed Privatization.

The Company noted that the Special Committee of QXMC has not yet indicated whether it will recommend that the minority shareholders accept the proposed offer. In addition, QXMC is seeking a new financial advisor in connection with the Special Committee's evaluation of the proposed acquisition. The Company notes that the Special Committee of QXMC has no obligation to issue any recommendation to the minority shareholders under the laws of BVI or the rules of the SEC and therefore, its failure to do so (or to have a financial advisor engaged) is not expected to materially delay the Company's application to the Court for a Court Meeting.

Mr. Ruilin Wu, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are working diligently to complete the Proposed Privatization as soon as possible. The outcome will largely depend on the minority shareholders' vote at the Court Meeting. Regardless of the outcome, we expect to implement successfully our strategy to become a pure resources player with meaningful scale on a solid and gradual basis."

About Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc.

The Company is an emerging Chinese resources company, with a focus on several strategically important nonferrous metals such as molybdenum and copper. In April 2009, the Company acquired a 100% equity interest in China Luxuriance Jade Company, Ltd. ("CLJC"). CLJC, through its wholly owned Chinese subsidiaries, owns the rights to receive the expected residual returns from Chifeng Haozhou Mining Co., Ltd. ("Haozhou Mining"), a large copper-molybdenum poly-metallic mining company in Inner Mongolia, China. XING's molybdenum business started operation in July 2009 and generated net income of RMB64.2 million (US$9.4 million) in the second half of 2009. Based on the initial success of the Company's molybdenum business as well as an extensive study of China's macro economic trends, XING plans to further consolidate its strategy to become a pure resources company with meaningful scale and is actively evaluating additional acquisition opportunities in the resources industry.

XING, one of the first Chinese private companies to be listed on NASDAQ in 1999, was previously one of the leading players in the telecommunication terminal products business in China. In 2007, the Company made the strategic decision to diversify into the resources industry. As part of this strategic transition, XING divested its fixed line and low-end mobile phone businesses in November 2009 and changed its corporate name to Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc., effective January 28, 2010. On September 8, 2010, XING announced the Proposed Offer, with the intention to spin off QXMC's mobile phone assets or business and redeploy its assets into the resources industry. This proposed acquisition is on-going and its completion shall be subject to several conditions including approval from a majority of the minority shareholders of QXMC.
