File No. 333-263602
Dear Shaofang Weng:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement 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 this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments.
Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form F-1
General
1.We note the changes you made to your disclosure appearing on the cover page, Prospectus
Summary and Risk Factor sections relating to legal and operational risks associated with
operating in China and PRC regulations. It is unclear to us that there have been changes
in the regulatory environment in the PRC since the amendment that was filed on June 7,
2023, 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 are registering
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. We do not believe that your revised disclosure referencing the significant degree
of influence any changes in applicable PRC laws and regulations implemented by PRC
regulatory authorities have over the manner in which the PRC subsidiaries must conduct
their business activities conveys the same risk. Please restore your disclosures in these
areas to the disclosures as they existed in the registration statement as of June 7, 2023.
