CPC's main strategies for overseas markets include long-term cultivation of its brands and distribution channels,
development of multilateral trade and overseas agents, horizontal alliances and development of localized products.
CPC has thus far established sales locations in China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, India, and
The Gambia and is continuing its expansion. In the future, we will rely on multilateral trade and overseas agents to
develop international lubricants sales and we plan to increase our overseas sales locations as we push forward with
our investment project in Vietnam.

making an extensive effort to market CPC's biotech products. Its biotech R&D team is building on past successes
with microbial fermentation technology by adopting modern biotechnology processes and an innovative integrated
methodology, branching out into such areas as biotech raw materials, functional health and nutritional products and
green biotech, to develop reasonably-priced, high-quality products.
