2.In order to clarify the scope of your review, please supplementally describe the steps you
have taken to confirm that none of the members of your board or the boards of your

instance, please tell us how the board members’ current or prior memberships on, or
affiliations with, committees of the Chinese Communist Party factored into your

certifications such as affidavits as the basis for your disclosure.
3.We note that your disclosures pursuant to Item 16I(b) use terms such as “us,” “our,” or
