INTRODUCTION

This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by (1) Dragon Pharmaceutical Inc., a Florida corporation (“Dragon” or the “Company”), the issuer of the common stock that is subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction, (2)Chief Respect Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Parent”), (3) Datong Investment Inc., a Florida corporation (“MergerSub”), and (4) Yanlin Han, an  individual, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“Mr. Han”) (collectively, the “Filing Persons”).

This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 26, 2010, by and among the Company, Parent, MergerSub and Mr. Han ( the “Merger Agreement”). If the Merger Agreement is adopted by the Company’s shareholders and the other conditions to closing of the Merger (as defined below) are satisfied or waived, MergerSub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as a surviving corporation and becoming a subsidiary of Parent with Mr. Han and Parent as the shareholders of the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).

If the Merger is completed, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, other than as provided below, will be converted into the right to receive $0.82 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes (the “Merger Consideration”).  The following outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in connection with the Merger: (i) shares held by any of the Company’s shareholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise appraisal rights under Florida law; and (ii) shares owned by Mr. Han (the “Effective Time”).

Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the Company is filing with the SEC a revised preliminary proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), relating to the special meeting of the shareholders of the Company at which the Company’s shareholders will consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement.  The adoption of the Merger Agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock under Florida law.  In addition, under the rules adopted by the Ontario Securities Commission the Merger Agreement must be approved by holders of common stock representing a majority of the shares of outstanding common stock excluding shares of common stock owned by Mr. Han.

Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3, the information in the Proxy Statement, including all appendixes and exhibits thereto, is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, and responses to each item herein are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Proxy Statement. The cross references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Proxy Statement.

All information contained in this Transaction Statement and the Proxy Statement concerning any of the Filing Persons has been provided by such Filing Persons, and no Filing Person has produced any disclosure with respect to any other Filing Person and no other Filing Person, including the Company, takes responsibility for the accuracy of such information as it relates to any other Filing Person.

The filing of this Transaction Statement shall not be construed as an admission by any of the Filing Persons or by any affiliate of a Filing Person, that the Company is “controlled” by any other Filing Person or that any Filing Person is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 under Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act.
