About this Prospectus, page ii

1. Please revise your definition of “China or the PRC” to include Hong Kong and Macau and to clarify that the “legal and operational” risks associated with operating in China also apply to your operations in Hong Kong. The definition may clarify that the only time that “China or the PRC” does not include Hong Kong or Macau is when you are referencing specific laws and regulations adopted by the PRC. If it does, please revise your disclosure to discuss any commensurate laws or regulations in Hong Kong, if applicable, and any risks and consequences to the company associated with those laws and regulations. As one example, your enforceability of civil liabilities discussion should discuss the enforceability of civil liabilities in Hong Kong.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page ii and page 18 of the Revised Form F-3.
