File No. 333-263602
Dear Shaofang Weng:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following
comment(s).
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe a comment applies 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 this letter, we may have additional comments. Unless we note otherwise,
any references to prior comments are to comments in our September 18, 2023 letter.
Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form F-1
General
1.Your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 1 does not fully address the issues
raised therein and we reissue the comment. 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

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 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.
Please contact Joanna Lam, Staff Accountant, at 202-551-3476 or Raj Rajan, Staff
