Re:

Registration Statement on Form S-8

To the Company:

At your request we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) as proposed to be filed by you with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the offer and sale of a total of 700,000 shares of common stock, $0.02 par value, of China Energy and Carbon Black Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, as compensation for services rendered by three  consultants including Wai Kau Lo, Winnie, Xia San Jiu and Ng Kua Inn. We have further examined the proceedings that you have previously taken and are familiar with the additional proceedings proposed to be taken in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the common stock.

Subject to compliance with applicable state securities and Blue Sky laws, we are of the opinion that the common stock, upon issuance in the manner described in the Registration Statement, will legally issued and fully paid, and will (or does, if applicable) constitute nonassessable securities of the Company.

Very truly yours
