The Annual Meeting is scheduled to be held at the Los Angeles Airport Hilton, 5711 West Century Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90045, on Tuesday, July 9, 1996 at 11:00 a.m. local time. This Proxy Statement will first be sent to shareholders on or about June 14, 1996. PROXIES The shares represented by any proxy in the enclosed form, if such proxy is properly executed and is received by the Company prior to or at the Annual Meeting prior to the closing of the polls, will be voted in accordance with the specifications made thereon. Proxies on which no specification has been made by the shareholder will be voted FOR the election to the Board of Directors of the nominees of the Board of Directors named herein, FOR the ratification of the appointment of the designated independent accountants, and as the proxy holders deem advisable on other matters that may come before the meeting. Proxies are revocable by written notice received by the Secretary of the Company at any time prior to their exercise or by executing a later dated proxy. Proxies will be deemed revoked by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. VOTING SECURITIES Shareholders of record at the close of business on May 29, 1996 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, the total number of shares of common stock of the Company, $.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), outstanding and entitled to vote was 32,907,550. The holders of all outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock registered in their names on the books of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date. QUORUM AND OTHER MATTERS The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum. The Board of Directors is not aware of any matters that are expected to come before the Annual Meeting other than those referred to in this Proxy Statement. If any other matter should come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote such proxies in accordance with their best judgment. Shares of Common Stock represented by a properly dated, signed and returned proxy will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, without regard to whether the proxy is marked as casting a vote or abstaining. Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Each of the other matters scheduled to come before the Annual Meeting requires the approval of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors or any such other matter. Under the laws of the State of Nevada, dissenters rights are not available to shareholders of the Company with respect to any matter scheduled to be brought before the Annual Meeting.

Directors shall be elected by shareholders holding a plurality of the shares of Common Stock present at the Annual Meeting. In the event that any one of the Nominees is unable or declines to serve as a director, the Board of Directors intends to substitute another person of their choice as nominee, in his place and stead, or to presennt such lesser number of directors in accordance with the Company's Bylaws. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any Nominee will be unable to serve or decline to serve as a director.

(2) All shares indicated as being held by Mr. Mak are held of record by C.P. Investment (B.V.I.) Ltd. ("CPI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of China Pacific Investment Holdings Ltd. ("CPIH"). CPIH is owned 51% by Kiu Yin Investment Co., Ltd., a company controlled by a discretionary trust established for the benefit of Mr. Mak's family. (3) All shares indicated as held by The Construction Bank of China - Guangdong Branch are held of record by CPI. CPIH, the parent of CPI, is owned 49% by Guangdong Construction (B.V.I.) Co., Ltd., which is, in turn, controlled by The Construction Bank of China - Guangdong Branch. (4) In connection with the Company's disposal of its interest in the Sun City project, Mak Shiu Tong, Clement and The Construction Bank of China - Guangdong Branch formed China Pacific Investment Holdings Ltd. which acquired all of the shares of C.P. Investment (B.V.I.) Ltd. (formerly China Treasure Investment (B.V.I.) Limited) from China Treasure Holding (B.V.I.) Limited. As a result of such transactions, The Construction Bank of China - Guangdong Branch increased its beneficial ownership in the Company by 3,188,571 shares and the beneficial ownership of a like number of shares by The People's Government of Huiyang City, which previously was the beneficial owner of such shares through its ownership in China Treasure Holding (B.V.I.) Ltd., was terminated. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions." (5) Huang Jinhui is Deputy Governor of The People's Government of Huiyang City, a former 5% shareholder of the Company, but disclaims any interest in the shares previously beneficially held by The People's Government of Huiyang City. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS Due to the nature of Company's participation in the development of "Sun City" and the Company's operations within the People's Republic of China, the Company's operations from the commencement of the "Sun City" project involved significant transactions with affiliates, including SanHe Group, which is controlled by the Huiyang City government, which, until December 31, 1995, was a principal shareholder of the Company. The Company's former subsidiary, China Treasure Industrial Enterprise ("CTIE"), acquired the land use rights with respect to the "Regent on the Park" and "Star Place" sites in Sun City from SanHe Group in 1992. CTIE acquired the land use rights with respect to such sites for $31.3 million and was obligated to pay 20% of the after-tax profit on the development of Star Place to SanHe Group and 10% of such after-tax profits to Huiyang Property Development Company Limited, a company also controlled by the Huiyang City 5 government. $7.3 million of the consideration payable to SanHe for the land use rights was paid through December 31, 1995. C.P. Investment Ltd. (formerly known as China Treasure Investment Ltd.), an intermediate holding company, loaned $8.8 million and China Treasure Holding Ltd. (the prior owner of China Treasure Investment Ltd.) loaned $0.8 million to the Company's subsidiary, China Pacific Construction (B.V.I.) Limited (formerly known as China Treasure Construction (B.V.I.) Limited) through December 31, 1994. Such loans were repayable with interest accruing at commercial bank rates which ranged from 8% to 9% in 1994. During 1995, China Treasure Holding loaned US$12 million to China Pacific Steel Limited in the form of a non-interest bearing promissory note which is secured by the stock of China Pacific Steel Limited. China Treasure Holding also loaned US$1.3 million to China Pacific, Inc. and its subsidiaries at a commercial interest rate of 9% per annum. Both of such companies agreed not to require repayment of such loans until the Company was financially capable of repaying such amounts. The Construction Bank of China, Guangdong Branch, a shareholder of the Company established a banking facility for the Company totaling $92 million for the Sun City project, of which $9.1 million and $-0- had been utilized at December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively. Such facility is no longer available after the disposal of the Sun City subsidiaries. During 1994 and 1995, the Company paid management fees to China Treasure Holding (B.V.I.) Limited, an indirect controlling shareholder of the Company, of approximately $155,000 and $-0-, respectively. On December 29, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Open View Properties Ltd, which is controlled by the People's Government of Huiyang City, whereby the Company's 51% owned subsidiary, China Pacific Construction (formerly China Treasure Construction), sold its interest in each of its subsidiaries involved in the Sun City development and, along therewith, its entire interest in Sun City. As consideration for the Company's interest in Sun City, Open View Properties delivered a series of three year 8% promissory notes in the amount of $16.2 million representing a return of China Pacific Construction's original capital contributions and loans to the project subsidiaries plus a fee for services to be provided of $4.1 million. Additionally, the Company was granted a five year option to develop and market 5 million square meters of land surrounding Sun City at a price of RMB100 ($12) per square meter and a five year option to repurchase the Company's interest in Sun City at cost plus a 10% premium per year. Prior to the Company's disposal of the Sun City subsidiaries, the Company, during 1995, paid interest on amounts advanced by its principal shareholders in the amount of $1,114,000. The Company has no existing corporate policy which prohibits or governs the terms of any such transactions. Other than elections to office, no director, nominee for director, executive officer or associate of any of the foregoing persons has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. PROPOSAL 2 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors has selected Arthur Andersen & Co. as independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 1996, and recommends that the shareholders vote for ratification of such appointment. Arthur Andersen & Co. were also the Company's independent auditors in fiscal years 1995 and 1994. In the event of a negative vote on such ratification, the Board of Directors will reconsider its selection. Representatives of Arthur Andersen & Co. are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will be afforded an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate inquiries from shareholders. 6 Following the acquisition of China Treasure Construction (B.V.I.) Limited by Bulls on the Run Production Corporation, on February 1, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors selected Arthur Andersen & Co. to serve as its new independent accountants and dismissed H.J. Swart & Company, P.A. which previously served as the independent accountants for Bulls on the Run Production Corporation. H.J. Swart & Company's reports on the financial statements of Bulls on the Run Production Corporation for the fiscal years 1993 and 1992 contain no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In connection with its audits for fiscal years 1993 and 1992 and through February 1, 1995, there were no disagreements with H.J. Swart & Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of H.J. Swart & Company would have caused them to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years. The information described above regarding the Company's decision to dismiss H.J. Swart & Company as its independent accountants and select Arthur Andersen & Co. as its new independent accountants, along with a letter from H.J. Swart & Company stating that it agrees with the above information regarding the Company's change of accountants, was fully disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 1, 1995. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO. AS INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS FOR THE COMPANY. OTHER MATTERS The Board of Directors does not intend to bring any other matters before the Annual Meeting and has not been informed that any other matters are to be presented by others.
