Annual Report on Form 20-F
General
1.We note you revised the definition of "China" or "PRC" since your December 31,
2023 Form 20-F to include Hong Kong and Macau in the definition, consistent with
the response to our prior comment letter dated August 27, 2024; however, we also
note that you have extensively revised the references to the PRC to instead refer
to mainland China. Please revise these references to mainland China throughout your
annual report including, as examples only, in the risk factors section on pages 27, 28,
45 and 49 to reference China including Hong Kong and Macau, except when you are
referencing specific laws and regulations adopted by mainland China. In this regard,
ensure that your disclosure does not narrow risks related to operating in China
to mainland China only. Please advise us how you plan on making such revisions
and include your proposed revised disclosure in your response letter.
