Dear Mr. Demarest:
We are writing on behalf of our client, Sun New Media, Inc. (the “Company”), in response to written comments from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) received on June 1, 2006 with respect to the Company’s Form 8-K filed May 24, 2006. The italicized paragraphs below includes the Staff’s written comments, and the discussion set out below each such paragraph is the Company’s response to the Staff’s comments.
Form 8-K Filed May 24, 2005
1.   We note that on May 18, 2006 you appointed Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP as your new independent accountants. Please have your new independent accountants explain to us in sufficient detail how they plan on performing the audit of the international operations of your company. In addition, have them tell us whether a foreign audit firm will be assisting in the audit and, is so, whether such foreign firm is credentialed with the SEC or registered with the PCAOB, if required. Lastly, if a foreign audit firm will be assisting in the audit, tell us if Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP will qualify as the principal accountant.
Attached please find a copy of the letter dated as of today’s date from Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP addressing the above request.

Dear Mr. Demarest:
     This letter is in response to your letter dated May 25, 2006 to Sun New Media, Inc. requesting a letter from us detailing how we plan on performing the audit of the above company’s international operations.
     We have employed an individual, Mr. Xin-Hua Mao, who works in Beijing, China to assist us in performing our audit of Sun New Media’s international operations. Mr. Mao is highly qualified to perform SEC compliant audits and is individually registered with the PCAOB. Mr. Mao’s work will be subject to our collaborative planning, supervision and review. A partner of our firm, Mr. Drew Bernstein, has traveled extensively to China in the past and will spend a significant amount of time in China performing many of those supervisory and review audit procedures for this audit and several other foreign audit engagements. We also plan to have other audit personnel from our New York City office travel to China to perform audit work. We will not be relying on the work of another foreign audit firm.
     We would be happy to answer any further questions if necessary.
Very truly yours,
(NEIL PINCHUK SIGNATURE GRAPHIC)
