EXHIBIT INDEX

Exhibit 99.1

China Information Technology Board of Directors Approves Change in
Domicile to British Virgin Islands

Shenzhen, China, June 21, 2012 -- China Information Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CNIT), a leading provider of information technologies and display technologies based in China, today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously approved the redomestication of the Company from the State of Nevada to the British Virgin Islands. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, China Information Technology, Inc., a British Virgin Islands company, or CNIT BVI, today filed a registration statement on Form F-4 relating to the redomestication transaction and the inclusion of a proposal to approve this transaction at the Company’s next annual stockholders meeting.

It is the Board’s belief that the redomestication will make CNIT BVI’s shares more attractive to non-U.S. investors and ultimately broaden its shareholder base. The redomestication would allow the Company to dual-list its shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange but it does not mandate that the dual-listing will occur. The redomestication is also expected to allow the Company to qualify as a “foreign private issuer” under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and thereby reduce its operational, administrative, legal and accounting costs. After the redomestication, assuming it is approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Company is expected to continue to trade on the NASDAQ Stock Market.
