People’s Republic of China

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are acting as counsel for China Valves Technology, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance and sale of (i) up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, all of which are authorized but heretofore unissued shares to be offered and sold by the Company (the “Shares”), (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock, all of which are authorized but heretofore unissued shares to be offered and sold by the Company (the “Warrant Shares”), and (iii) the Warrant Shares, pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-163418) (such Registration Statement, as amended from time to time, the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and related prospectus, dated December 14, 2009, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated January 4, 2011 relating to the offer and sale of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares (as so supplemented, the “Prospectus”).

We have reviewed and are familiar with such documents, corporate proceedings and other matters as we have considered relevant or necessary as a basis for this opinion. Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Warrants, when duly executed and delivered by the Company and issued and sold by the Company in the manner described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and in accordance with the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws affecting or relating to the rights of creditors generally, by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and by requirements of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

This opinion is limited to matters governed by the law of the State of New York.
