China Wind Power Provides Default Status Update

China Wind Power International Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CNW) ("China Wind Power" or
the "Company") provides this bi-weekly Default Status Report under National
Policy 12-203 - Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP
12-203"). On July 27 and August 1, 2012, the Company announced (the "Default
Announcement") that the filing of its annual financial statements for the
financial year ended March 31, 2012, management discussion and analysis and
related CEO and CFO certifications would not be completed by the filing deadline
set by Canadian securities laws (the "Annual Filings"). 


As a result of the delay in filing, on August 8, 2012, the Ontario Securities
Commission, the principal regulator of the Company, issued a management cease
trade order, which imposed restrictions on all trading in securities of the
Company by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the
Company until the Company files the Annual Filings. All other parties are
permitted to trade the Company's securities. 


The filing of the Company's interim financial statements for the three months
ended June 30, 2012, management discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO
certifications has been delayed beyond the filing deadline of August 29, 2012
(the "Interim Filings" and together with the Annual Filings, the "Required
Filings") as the Annual Filings have not been completed. It is anticipated that
the Audit Committee and an Independent Committee established by the Board of
Directors will complete their review in approximately one week. The Company
continues to work diligently with its Audit Committee and Independent Committee
to resolve the issues set out in the Default Announcement.


Pursuant to the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines specified
by NP 12-203, the Company reports that, since the issuance of its Default
Announcement and subsequent Default Status Reports on August 17 and September 7,
2012, except as stated in this Default Status Report, there have not been any
material changes to the information contained therein; nor any failure by the
Company to fulfill its intentions as stated therein with respect to satisfying
the provisions of the alternative information guidelines, and there are no
additional defaults or anticipated defaults subsequent to the disclosure
therein, other than the delay in filing the Required Filings. Further, there are
no additional material changes respecting the Company and its affairs that have
not been generally disclosed.


Until the Required Filings are filed, the Company intends to continue to satisfy
the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines specified by NP 12-203
by issuing bi-weekly Default Status Reports in the form of news releases. The
Company intends to file, if required, its next Default Status Report on or about
October 5, 2012.
