File No. 001-41291
Dear Xin Wang:
We have reviewed your August, 21, 2023 response to our comment letter and have the
following comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information
so we may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to these comments within ten business days by providing the requested
information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe our
comments apply to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing your response to these comments, we may have additional
comments. Unless we note otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our
August 15, 2023 letter.
Amendment No. 2 to Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed August 21, 2023
Item 3. Key Information, page 1
1.We note the changes you made to your disclosure appearing in the Risk Factors section of
your amended annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 relating to legal
and operational risks associated with operating in China and PRC regulations. The annual
report discloses information as of your fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and it is
unclear to us that there were changes in the regulatory environment in the PRC for the
period covered by the report warranting revised disclosure to mitigate the challenges you
face and related disclosures. 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, or may exert control over operations of your

business, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of
the securities you have registered for sale. We remind you that, pursuant to federal
securities rules, the term “control” (including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by,” and
“under common control with”) as defined in Securities Act Rule 405 means “the
possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the
management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities,
by contract, or otherwise.” The Sample Letters also sought specific disclosures relating to
uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and that the rules and regulations in China
can change quickly with little advance notice. Because your revised disclosure has
removed references to the PRC government’s power to exercise significant oversight and
discretion over the conduct of your business, the level of government involvement in the
Chinese economy, and the risk factors captioned “PRC’s economic, political and social
conditions, as well as changes in any government policies, laws and regulations, could
have a material adverse effect on our business” and “Uncertainties with respect to the
PRC legal system could adversely affect us,” we do not believe that your revised
disclosure conveys these risks. We also note that your disclosure in the “Key Information
Related to Doing Business in China” section at the outset of Item 3 continues to reference
the risk factors that were removed in your latest amendment. We further note your
revision noting that you may not be able to effectively protect your intellectual property
rights or to enforce your contractual rights in China “or in other jurisdictions.” However,
you disclose that Meihua is not a Chinese operating company but a Cayman Islands
holding company with all operations conducted by its subsidiaries located in mainland
China. Please disclose the other jurisdictions where you hold intellectual property. Please
restore your disclosures in these areas to the disclosures as they existed in your annual
report as of July 3, 2023.
