China Broadband, Inc. Receives Name Change and New Trading Symbol -- "CBBD" -- From Nasdaq; Change in Effect at Open of Business May 16, 2007

Market Wire, May, 2007

China Broadband, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: CBBD) formerly (PINKSHEETS: APNA), positioned to become a leading cable broadband operator in China's massive market, announced today it has received an official name change and new trading symbol -- "CBBD" -- from the Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. This corporate action is in effect from the open of business on May 16, 2007.

China Broadband (CB) became public in the United States in January 2007 through a reverse merger with a public shell company Alpha Nutra and continued to trade under the Alpha Nutra name and symbol until the Nasdaq issued the new name and symbol announced today.

Clive Ng, Chairman of China Broadband, said, "We are extremely pleased to have our new trading symbol and the confirmation of our Company's name. This completes our entry to the American public markets. With the help of our new Investor Relations firm, Consulting For Strategic Growth 1, we will actively introduce ourselves to American investors who understand the opportunities presented by cable broadband in China. Our goal is to be one of China's leading cable and cable broadband operators by 2009. The symbol of CBBD, which reflects our Company's name, will make us more visible on the OTC market and enable our stockholders and future investors to follow the growth of our business and our shareholder value."

Last month, China Broadband issued a new two-page Investor Fact Sheet succinctly outlining the Company's business strategy. CB is focusing first on the coastal province of Shandong, China's 2nd largest regional economy. By leveraging its flagship operation -- Jinan Jia He Broadband, the 5th largest cable broadband operator in China and the 2nd largest broadband provider in Shandong's capital city of Jinan -- China Broadband plans to take advantage of the government's mandate to convert analog TV to digital TV in all major cities by 2008 and throughout the nation by 2015.

About China Broadband

China Broadband (CB) is a vibrant new player in China's burgeoning cable broadband market. The Company's flagship operator is Jinan Jia He Broadband, the fifth largest broadband operator in China and the second largest broadband service provider in Shandong's capital city of Jinan. A spin-off of Jinan Jia He Digital TV Co. Ltd., Jinan Jia He Broadband has a close equity bond with Jinan Cable Network, the cable monopoly in Jinan with 1.3 million cable TV subscribers.

While China has the world's largest cable TV system and is expected to become the world's largest Internet market within the year, the cable broadband market, providing a single service for TV and Internet use, has only begun to grow. China Broadband plans to acquire local cable TV operators and bundle them with its cable broadband capacity to leverage the government-mandated digital TV roll-outs and capture market leadership in Shandong.
