DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - May 13, 2008) - NewMarket China, Inc. (OTCBB: NMCH) today released a position paper to communicate a vision for the role of small business in the global economy. The paper was written by Philip Verges, a Company founder and current board member. The paper illustrates the challenges faced by small business in a big business culture, even though the small business sector contributes more jobs to the global economy and represents a larger percentage of the global gross domestic product than big business. The paper points out the current proliferation of small business public markets around the world as an early sign of the major social, political and economic role to be played by small business in the future.

The release of the position paper titled "It's a Small Business World After All" has been timed to coincide with the strategic plan update Webcast scheduled for tomorrow.
