ALLEN PARK, MI--(Marketwire - March 4, 2009) - People's Republic of China's Consul-General in Chicago, Honorable Ping Huang, encouraged the Detroit International Auto Salon (subsidiary of DIAS Holding, Inc. (OTCBB: [ DSHL ])) to pursue its year-round exhibition initiative.

Accompanied by Mr. Guo-wen Chen and Mr. Wei-jia Wang of his Chicago office, and Mr. Ling-yan Yan, executive vice president of the Detroit Chinese Business Association, Mr. Huang toured the interim facilities of the Detroit International Auto Salon in Allen Park. "I am amazed by this bold, and new concept, and I believe it will be very successful at the Detroit Metro Airport," stated the Consul-General.

This visit comes after the January announcement of a similar venture in St. Louis where the Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. met with local and state leaders to announce the formation of a partnership called the Midwest/China Hub Commission ([ http://www.stlrcga.org/x3667.xml ]).

"We are honored by the Consul-General's visit. It was the perfect follow up to the November 2008 Wayne County trade delegation that has made numerous successful trade agreements with Wayne County businesses and government over several years. We plan to re-double our efforts to engage with Chinese manufacturers to show their products and services at DIAS," commented Eric Huang, Chairman & CEO, DIAS Holdings.
