1. We note your response to comment
1. Please clarify whether Gansu QLS or any of its subsidiaries are restricted in the amount of capital they are able to contribute
to Qilian International Holding Group Limited or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries or the amount of capital they are able to
repatriate from Qilian International Holdings Group Limited or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as a result of non-compliance
with PRC SAFE Circular 37.

Response: The Company respectfully
advises the Staff that only capital contributions to a special purpose vehicle and repatriation of profits and dividends derived
from such special purpose vehicle by its shareholders are limited as a result of non-compliance with PRC SAFE Circular 37. Gansu
QLS and its subsidiaries are only controlled by Qilian International Holdings Group Limited through contractual arrangements and
they are not shareholders of Qilian International Holdings Group Limited, thus Gansu QLS or any of its subsidiaries are not restricted
in the amount of capital they are able to contribute to Qilian International Holding Group Limited or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries
or in the amount of capital they are able to repatriate from Qilian International Holdings Group Limited or any of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries as a result of non-compliance with PRC SAFE Circular 37. The controlling shareholders of Gansu QLS have completed
registrations in accordance with Circular 37, while the shares of shareholders having not completed the registration only account
for 3.64% of the total shares of Gansu QLS shareholders who have executed the VIE Agreements. In addition, our WFOE has completed
all foreign exchange registration procedures as a foreign investment enterprise. Therefore, the cross-border capital activities
between Qilian International Holding Group Limited or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and Gansu QLS or any of its subsidiaries
are not restricted.

warrants and the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, is consistent with
the number of such shares listed on the registration statement cover page.

Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, Ogier, the Company’s counsel with respect to the laws of the Cayman Islands, updated its opinion letter accordingly.

We thank the Staff for its review of the
foregoing. If you have further comments, we ask that you forward them by electronic mail to our counsel, Ying Li at yli@htflawyers.com
