NEW YORK, Feb. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP ("Scott+Scott"), a national shareholder and consumer rights litigation
firm, reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Yangtze River Port and Logistics Limited ("Yangtze" or

Yangtze is a Chinese logistics and port management company.

purported lease of the Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Center, the company's main asset, was a fabrication; (2) Yangtze's
only operating subsidiary, Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd., was declared insolvent in China due to a number of default judgments; and (3) as a result, defendants' statements about its business,
operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
