NEW YORK, July 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CCG
Investor Relations ("CCG"), a leading US-headquartered global
investor relations and strategic communications consultancy, today
announced the presenting companies for 2013 China Best
Ideas Investment Conference. The event will showcase some of
the very best managed Chinese companies that are listed overseas
and foster an open and informative dialogue with investors. The
event will be co-hosted by Marcum Bernstein & Pinchuk, a
top-ranking U.S accounting and consulting firm with a substantial
China and international
practice.
The 2013 China Best Ideas Investment Conference will take
place on September 10, 2013 in
Beijing, China, at the Four
Seasons at 48 LiangMaQiao Road, 100125 Chaoyang District,
Beijing. The one-day
event will provide investors with the opportunity to meet with
the senior management of Chinese companies that have been carefully
selected for their strong business models, meeting international
standards of corporate governance and being transparent with
investors.
The event is free to attend for institutional investors, family
offices, private equity and venture funds, and for the senior
management of public companies listed in the U.S. or preparing for
an overseas IPO. To register please go to

The preliminary list of the presenting companies includes:
- Actions Semiconductor Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: ACTS)
- AutoNavi Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: AMAP)
- Bona Film Group Limited (NASDAQ: BONA)
- China Biologic Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBPO)
- ChinaCache International Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: CCIH)
- China Digital TV Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: STV)
- China Distance Education Holdings (NYSE: DL)
- China Hydroelectric Corporation (NYSE: CHC)
- E-Commerce China Dangdang, Inc. (NYSE: DANG)

- Sky-mobi Limited (NASDAQ: MOBI)
- Vimicro International Corp. (NASDAQ: VIMC)
"We are very excited about the caliber of the companies that
have agreed to participate in the inaugural China Best Ideas
Conference. After reviewing the more than 200 Chinese companies
that continue to be listed in the U.S. we assembled a list of those
we believe meet the criteria of having solid business models, a
level of commitment to corporate governance, and a reasonable
degree of transparency, representing approximately 15% of those
listed companies. We hope that additional companies who have been
invited will decide to join what we expect will be a very high
profile and elite event," said Crocker Coulson, President of CCG
Investor Relations.
"While the Chinese macro-economy continues to face sizable
structural difficulties, many of these names have compelling
secular growth stories that are not overly sensitive to overall GDP
growth or the potential contraction of the corporate and local
government debt markets in the PRC. With the recent changes in the
Chinese government, we have witnessed a more constructive dialogue
between the CSRC and the U.S. regulators and a wide-spread
acknowledgement that China needs
to move beyond the statist, fixed asset-driven growth model of the
past five years.
"Funds that are invested in China must keep a careful eye on these
developments and an open mind towards their asset allocation
strategies. Funds that have turned away from China in recent years may find this to be a
propitious time to take a fresh look at the risks and opportunities
of investing in the world's second largest economy," Coulson
concluded.
The 2013 China Best Ideas Investment Conference is
designed to provide investors with an introduction to pre-IPO as
well as high quality publicly-traded China companies from the PRC. At the same
time, the event will include a dialogue among investors,
management, economists, and accounting and governance experts to
address the legacy and current China capital markets environment and the
necessary steps to create a more vibrant and healthy capital market
landscape.
CCG and Marcum are also hosting the Capital Markets &
Accounting Bootcamp which is open to all U.S.-listed company
management teams to attend. If desired, these companies can also
hold one-on-one meetings with investors and other professionals on
September 10th at the
China Best Ideas Investment Conference.
In addition to corporate presentations, the conference will
feature a full roster of panels and expert speakers including:
