of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), dated January 29, 2024 regarding our Form 20-F, as amended,
for fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. For ease of reference, we have repeated the Commission’s comments in this response and
numbered them accordingly.

Permission
or Approval Required from the PRC Authorities for the VIE’s Operations, page 9
2. We
note your response and revised disclosure in response to prior comment 5. With respect to
your PRC counsel, we note your revised disclosure “as confirmed by our PRC counsel,
Dacheng ... .” If true, please provide your proposed revised disclosure that states
that you relied on the “opinion” of counsel. Please make the same changes to
your disclosure in response to prior comment 8 as well. Additionally, with respect to the
uncertainty and consequences of any future actions of the PRC government, please provide
your proposed revised disclosure to include the risk and related consequences if you do not
receive or maintain such permissions or approvals. In this light, we point you to our original
comment 8 in the comment letter dated August 11, 2023, to “ ... please revise to describe
the consequences to you and your investors if you, your subsidiaries, or the VIEs: (i) do
not receive or maintain such permissions or approvals, (ii) inadvertently conclude that such
permissions or approvals are not required, or (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations
change and you are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future.”
(Emphasis added).
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, we proposed to revise the disclosure referencing our PRC counsel’s opinions as follows
(revised language in italic):
“Based
on the opinion of our PRC counsel, Beijing Dacheng Law Offices, LLP (Fuzhou) (“Dacheng”), …”
In
addition, we proposed to revise the disclosure relating to the consequences to us as follows (revised language in italic):
We
are subject to the risks of uncertainty of any future actions of the PRC government in this regard including the risk that we do not
receive or maintain such permissions or approvals, or we inadvertently conclude that the permission or approvals discussed here are
not required, that applicable laws, regulations or interpretations change such that we or the VIE, or any of its subsidiaries is required
to obtain approvals in the future, or that the PRC government could disallow our holding company structure, which would likely result
in a material change in our operations, including our ability to continue our existing holding company structure, carry on our current
business, accept foreign investments, and continue to offer securities to our investors. These adverse actions could cause the value
of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless. We may also be subject to penalties and sanctions imposed by the
PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, if we fail to comply with such rules and regulations, which would likely adversely affect
the ability of our securities to be listed on the U.S. exchange, which would likely cause the value of our securities to significantly
decline or become worthless.
