Part I.
Item 1. Business, page 5
1.We note your revisions in response to prior comment 2. We reissue the comment in
full to provide the disclosure requested by the comment prominently here in Part I.
Item I. We note your disclosure on page 9 that the Chinese government exerts
substantial influence over all business activities conducted in China and may
intervene or influence your operations at any time with little advance notice. We also
note that your 10-Q for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024, shows 80.3% of your
revenue was generated from business operations in Hong Kong. Please additionally
make clear that the legal and operational risks with being based in and having
operations in mainland China also apply to your operations in Hong Kong.
We note your response to prior comment 4. We reissue the comment in full and
request that your revisions in response to prior comment 4 be provided in the 2.

appropriate sections in the annual report, rather than solely in your correspondence
filed as a response to comments.
3.We note your response to prior comment 5 and your revisions on page 20, where you
state that your auditor is located in Singapore and the Holding Foreign Companies
Accountable Act, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, and
related regulations will not affect your company. Please revise to provide this
information more prominently at the outset of Part I. Item I.
4.We note your response and revisions in response to prior comment 6. We reissue the
comment in full. Please revise your filing here to state any permissions or approvals
that you or your subsidiaries are required to obtain from Chinese authorities to operate
your business and to offer securities to foreign investors. State whether you or your
subsidiaries are covered by permissions requirements from the China Securities
Regulatory Commission (CSRC), Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) or any
other governmental agency that is required to approve your operations, and state
affirmatively whether you have received all requisite permissions or approvals and
whether any permissions or approvals have been denied. Revise to disclose if you
relied on the opinion of counsel to reach the conclusion that you do or do not need
CSRC or CAC approval. Please also describe the consequences to you and your
investors if you or your subsidiaries: (i) do not receive or maintain such permissions
or approvals, (ii) inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not
required, or (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and you are
required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future.
Enforceability of Civil Liabilities, page 8
5.We note your response to prior comment 7, which we reissue in part. Please revise to
describe an investor's ability to effect service of process within the United States on
you or your directors and officers. For example, revise to state where each of your
directors and officers reside, and state whether it would be difficult to serve process
on them if they are located outside of the United States. Additionally, please revise to
describe an investor's ability to bring an original action in an appropriate foreign court
to enforce liabilities against you or your directors and officers based upon the U.S.
Federal securities laws.
Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong, page 9
We note your additional risk factor disclosure in response to prior comment 8. Please
revise to remove the language "[w]hile we are not a China based Company."
Additionally, we note your disclosure of recent statements and actions by the Chinese
government within that risk factor. Given those recent statements and intent to exert
more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign
investment in China-based issuers, revise your risk factor section to acknowledge the
risk that any such action could significantly limit or completely hinder your ability to
offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities
to significantly decline or be worthless. We remind you that, pursuant to federal
securities rules, the term “control” (including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by,”
and “under common control with”) means “the possession, direct or indirect, of the 6.

power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person,
whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.”
7.We note your response to prior comment 9. We reissue the comment in full. In light of
recent events indicating greater oversight by the Cyberspace Administration of China
(CAC) over data security, particularly for companies seeking to list on a foreign
exchange, please revise your disclosure here in this section to explain how this
oversight impacts your business and your securities and to what extent you believe
that you are compliant with the regulations or policies that have been issued by the
CAC to date. Revise to disclose if you relied on the opinion of counsel to reach the
conclusion that you do or do not need CSRC or CAC approval.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence
of action by the staff.
Please contact Michael Fay at 202-551-3812 or Li Xiao at 202-551-4391 if you have
questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related matters. Please contact
Nicholas O'Leary at 202-551-4451 or Margaret Sawicki at 202-551-7153 with any other
questions.
