Dallas, TX - The recently launched Halter USX China Index has hired CTA Public Relations for a comprehensive marketing public relations program in North America. Halter USX China Index is the only index in the world devoted exclusively to Chinese-focused public companies traded on U.S. stock exchanges.
"CTA Public Relations' reputation for straightforward strategic and tactical communications made our choice an easy one," said Tim Halter, managing director of The Halter USX China Index. "The economic boom in China is taking investors around the world by storm and having the right firm to tell that story in North America is important to our future success. Since we launched The Halter USX China Index recently, the response world-wide has been phenomenal."
Halter noted that China has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. In 2002, China surpassed the U.S. as the largest recipient of direct foreign investment, an indicator that "smart money" is rushing into China.
"The stocks in The Halter USX China Index offer investors the opportunity to invest in China with the safety of the U.S.-regulated securities markets," Halter explained. "All of the companies in the index are public reporting companies that have their stocks traded on U.S. exchanges which are governed by the Securities and Exchange Commission."
The following 22 public companies comprise the inaugural Halter USX China Index which CTA Public Relations will be promoting:
Aluminum Corp. of China Ltd. (NYSE:ACH)
AsianInfo Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASIA)
ASAT Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ:ASTT)
Beijing Yanhua Petrochemical Co. Ltd. (NYSE:BYH)
Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:CBA)
China Eastern Airlines Corporation Ltd. (NYSE:CEA)
China National Offshore Oil Corp. (NYSE:CEO)
Chindex International, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHDX)
Chinadotcom Corporation (NASDAQ:CHINA)
China Mobile Hong Kong Ltd. (NYSE:CHL)
China Unicom (NYSE:CHU)
China Yuchai International Ltd. (NYSE:CYD)
HuaNeng Power International, Inc. (NYSE:HNP)
Jilin Chemical Industrial Co. Ltd. (NYSE:JCC)
Netease.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTES)
PetroChina Co. Ltd. (NYSE:PTR)

Sohu.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOHU)
Qiao Xing Universal Telephone, Inc. (NASDAQ:XING)
Yanzhou Coal Mining Co. Ltd. (NYSE:YZC)

These companies represent a wide range of industries, from energy and high tech to diversified services and transportation. In addition to benefiting from the booming economy in China, investors are also aware that China's currency, the yuan, is artificially undervalued. Experts predict at some point in the near future, China will allow its currency to float, which would translate into a sizeable increase in profits as the currency is revalued in world markets.
