Site Allows Shareholders to Express Frustration to Independent Board Members

SHANGHAI, Dec. 20, 2012

SHANGHAI, Dec. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- With  VisionChina Media's (Nasdaq:
VISN) common stock having lost more than 95 percent of its value in the past
two years, a new web site, SaveVisionChina.com, has been launched that allows
stakeholders to contact the Company's independent directors to press for
meaningful change.

Those independent directors are:

  o Yanqing Liang, Director of Beijing Zhonghe Qingrun Investment Co., Ltd.
  o Xisong Tan, Chairwoman of Hairun Ogilvy Entertainment Distribution and
    Advertising Co.
  o Arthur Wong, CFO of GreenTree Inns Hotel Management Group and Director of
    Besunyen Holding Co.
  o Kit Leong Low, CFO of Focus Media

The plunge in VisionChina's market value has occurred despite robust growth in
China's digital media market, where VisionChina has an enviable position in
key Tier-1 Chinese subway and bus-based advertising markets. 

"It is absolutely untenable to maintain the status quo at a company that has
so clearly lost its way.  VisionChina's independent directors need to take
bold action to revive the company so that it can reach its full potential,"
said Thomas G. Tsao, founder of Shanghai-based Gobi Partners, which launched
the site in partnership with Oak Investment Partners.

Oak and Gobi are major shareholders in VisionChina.

Published in both Chinese and English, the web site features an approximate
running total of a portion of the damages that Gobi and Oak are seeking from
VisionChina and Vision Best for their failure to pay for the acquisition of
Digital Media Group (DMG) from Oak and Gobi.

"The counter on the home page of the web site estimates, in real time, the
principal amount of $60 million plus the accumulating interest, which
represents only a portion of the damages sought by us from VisionChina," Mr.
Tsao said.  "The number is increasing rapidly and is another reminder of the
urgent need for VisionChina's independent directors to take action."

Oak and Gobi plan to pursue additional damages in connection with VisionChina
and Vision Best's breach of their agreements to purchase DMG.  Oak and Gobi
expect total damages to exceed $100 million.
