Item 8.01. Other Events

Attached is a presentation that Alyst Acquisition Corp. (“Alyst”), China Networks International Holdings, Ltd. (“China Networks”), China Networks Media Ltd. (“CN Media”), and/or Chardan Capital Markets, as financial advisor (“Chardan”), expect to utilize in meetings with investors regarding Alyst’s proposed business combination with China Networks and CN Media, as described in Alyst’s Form 8-K filed on August 18, 2008. The investor presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Alyst, China Networks, CN Media, and their respective directors and executive officers, and Chardan and its partners and directors may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting of Alyst stockholders to be held to approve, among other things, the proposed business combination with China Networks. In connection with the pending transaction, China Networks will also file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4. The stockholders of Alyst are urged to read the Registration Statement and the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus when they are available, as well as all other relevant documents filed or to be filed with the SEC, because they will contain important information about China Networks, Alyst, and the proposed transaction. The final proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to stockholders of Alyst after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC.

Stockholders will be able to obtain a copy of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and any other relevant filed documents at no charge from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov). These documents will also be available from Alyst at no charge, once filed with the SEC, by directing a request to 233 East 69th Street, #6J, New York, New York 10021.
