Amendment No. 10 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed January 9, 2024
File No. 333-272110
Dear Hung To Pau:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following comment.
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 January 5, 2024 letter.
Amendment No. 10 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
General
1.We note your revisions to prior comment 1 and reissue in part. Since the filing of the
Form S-1, filed on May 22, 2023, certain disclosure appearing on the cover page,
Summary and Risk Factor sections relating to legal and operational risks associated with
operating in China and PRC regulations has been removed and we do not believe that your
revised disclosure continues to convey the same risk. It is still unclear to us that there have
been changes in the regulatory environment in the PRC since the Form S-1 that was filed
on May 22, 2023, warranting revised disclosure to mitigate the challenges you face and
related disclosures. Please restore your disclosures in these areas to the disclosures as they
existed in prior amendments. As examples, and without limitation, we note that your
revised disclosure in Amendment No. 10 to the Form S-1 does not address the following
points from these previous amendments:

•Your disclosure on the cover page of Amendment No. 1 to the DRS, submitted
March 6, 2023, that you and your PRC Subsidiary, (1) are not required to obtain
permissions from any PRC authorities to operate or issue Common stock to foreign
investors, (2) are not subject to permission requirements from the CSRC, CAC or any
other entity that is required to approve of your PRC Subsidiaries' operations, and (3)
have not received or were denied such permissions by any PRC authorities;
•The risk factor heading itself, not the text that appears under the heading, from page
40 to the Form S-1, filed on May 22, 2023: “If the Chinese government chooses to
exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or
foreign investment in China-based issuers, such action could significantly limit or
completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and
cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless;”
•The following sentence under the risk factor that appeared in the Amendment No. 1
to the Form S-1, titled “Payment of dividends is subject to restrictions under Nevada
and the PRC laws” (that now appears as “Payment of dividends is subject to
restrictions under PRC law”): “In addition, because of a variety of rules applicable to
our operations in the PRC and the regulations on foreign investments as well as the
applicable tax law, we may be subject to further limitations on our ability to declare
and pay dividends to our shareholders” as well as cross-references to this risk factor
elsewhere that appeared in Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-1; and
•Your disclosure on the cover page of your Form S-1, filed on May 22, 2023, which
stated, “(iii) we fail to file or were denied permission from the PRC authorities to this
offering, any follow-up offerings or transactions,” which should also appear in the
Summary in the paragraph above the header “Prospectus Conventions.”
