The Sample Letters to China-Based Companies sought specific disclosure relating to the risk that the PRC government may intervene in or influence your operations at any time given the Chinese government's significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of your business. We do not believe that your revised disclosure that the PRC government has significant oversight over the conduct of your business and may May 8, 2025 Page 2

We also note that in 2024 you received technology license fees of RMB 59.4 million from Forseven Limited. Please tell us which line item includes these related fees in your consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and where this is disclosed within Footnote 26.
