1.We note your response to comment 3. Please revise your summary of risk factors and risk
factors section, as you do in the Cash and Asset Flows through Our Organization section
to state that to the extent cash in the business is in PRC/Hong Kong or a PRC/Hong Kong
entity, the funds may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of
PRC/Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations

3.We note your response to comment 7 and reissue our comment in part with a
clarification. Please tell us how you determined it was appropriate to classify incentives
given to end-users that exceeded the revenue generated from the same transaction from
revenue to selling and marketing expenses, including any specific accounting guidance
you utilized to support such classification. Otherwise, it appears that incentives that were
classified as selling and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021
(RMB103.1 million (US$16.2 million)) should also be classified as a reduction of the
transaction price (i.e., a reduction of revenue).
