In this regard, we note that the company relied upon Rule 12b-25(b) with respect to its annual report but the annual report was not actually filed within the prescribed time period permitted by the rule. Accordingly, it does not appear that you meet the eligibility requirements set forth in General Instruction I.A.2 of Form F-3. Please explain to us why you believe you are eligible to file on Form F-3 or amend your registration statement onto an appropriate form.

Identify clearly the entity in which investors are purchasing their interest and the entity(ies) in which the company’s operations are conducted. •Disclose each permission or approval that you or your subsidiaries are required to obtain from Chinese authorities to operate your business and to offer the securities being registered to foreign investors. State whether you or your subsidiaries are covered by permission requirements from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) or any other governmental agency that is required to approve your company’s operations, and state affirmatively whether you have received all requisite permissions or approvals and whether any permissions or approvals have been denied. Please also describe the consequences to you and your investors if you or your subsidiaries: (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. With respect to your disclosure on page 11 of your Form 20-F filed May 16, 2024 that you are not currently required to obtain any permissions or approvals form the CSRC, the CAC or any other PRC governmental authority, please disclose in your registration statement and state whether you relied on the advice of counsel, and, if so, identify counsel and include a consent. •Provide a clear description here of how cash is transferred through your organization.

Also revise to include a specific cross-reference to the detailed discussion of risks facing the company and the offering as a result of your corporate structure and add risk factor disclosure that highlights the risk that if regulations related to your corporate structure change or are interpreted differently in the future, the securities you are registering may decline in value or become worthless. 5.Please provide prominent disclosure about your corporate structure and the legal and operational risks associated with being based in or having the majority of the company’s operations in China. In particular, describe the significant regulatory, liquidity, and enforcement risks with cross-references to the more detailed discussion of these risks in your Form 20-F.

Disclose clearly the entity (including the domicile) in which investors are purchasing an interest. 7.Provide a description of how cash is transferred through your organization and disclose your intentions to distribute earnings or settle amounts owed under applicable agreements. State whether any transfers, dividends, or distributions have been made to date between the holding company and its subsidiaries, or to investors, and quantify the amounts where applicable.
