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 ("OSC"), 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. The Company expects a
general cease trade order to be issued by the OSC prior to the completion of the
Required Filings. A general cease trade order restricts all trading in the
Company's securities in Canada. The Company continues to work diligently to
satisfy all requirements for the filing of the Required Filings. 


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, September 7 and
September 21, 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 15, 2012.
