Hong Kong Analyst Questions China.com Numbers; Cautions of China 11/30/99 16:3 (New York)
                           Prosperity       Holdings Technology in an Exclusive Interview with StockHouse.com
      NEW YORK, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Top Asian Internet analyst Osamu Wilde of Jardine Flemming cautioned investors, in an exclusive StockHouse.com interview, about pageviews and/or hits claimed by China.com (Nasdaq: CHINA) stating, "I think quite a few of them are somewhat inflated.  I think we might be a little disappointed."  He was also asked about potential Asian misrepresentations and replied, "I'm looking forward to companies setting up third-party auditing.  I think A.C. Nielson is doing a survey certainly for the Hong Kong audience this quarter some time."     Wilde also blasted China Prosperity Holdings (Nasdaq: CPIH), saying, "These are the guys that are going to use VDSLs, a largely untested technology that's trying to beat the Telco incumbent at its own game.  Have they rolled off anywhere? I don't think so."     Wilde also warned that foreign investments in Chinese Internet companies may need to be reduced, saying, "There's sort of another conflicting argument which says that it has to be reduced below 50% or to 50%, at least."
      The entire interview will be available Tuesday, November 30, at 7 p.m. EST at stockhouse.com.
