Please disclose the location of your auditor’s headquarters and whether and how the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, and related regulations will affect your company. Your prospectus summary should address, but not necessarily be limited to, the risks highlighted on the prospectus cover page. 4.Clearly disclose here how you will refer to the company and subsidiaries when providing the disclosure throughout the document so that it is clear to investors which entity the disclosure is referencing, and which subsidiaries or entities are conducting the business operations.

Describe any restrictions on foreign exchange and your ability to transfer cash between entities, across borders, and to U.S. investors. Describe any restrictions and limitations on your ability to distribute earnings from the company, including your subsidiaries, to the parent company and to U.S. investors.

Business Overview, page 2 15.Please revise throughout to clarify that to date you have only had one client quoted on the OTC markets and have not yet had any clients list on other U.S. exchanges. Please also reconcile this with your disclosure on page 19 stating that you have entered into consulting agreements with two enterprises which were quoted on the OTC market in 2022. We note that as currently drafted the disclosure throughout suggests that you have numerous clients that you have helped with U.S. listings. For example, you state on page 6 that all of your former and current clients have chosen to go public in the U.S., and your consulting business has flourished. So that investors understand the current scope of your

FirstName LastNameZonghan Wu Comapany NameSSHT S&T Group Ltd. June 7, 2023 Page 5 FirstName LastNameZonghan Wu SSHT S&T Group Ltd.

Please expand your risk factors to disclose that the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, decreases the number of consecutive “non-inspection years” from three years to two years, and thus, reduces the time before your securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted. Update your disclosure to describe the potential consequences to you if the PRC adopts positions at any time in the future that would prevent the PCAOB from continuing to inspect or investigate completely accounting firms headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong. 19.Given the Chinese government’s significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of your business, please revise to highlight separately the risk that the Chinese government may intervene or influence your operations at any time, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of the securities you are registering. Also, given recent statements by the Chinese government indicating an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, acknowledge the risk that any such action could significantly limit or completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. 20.In light of recent events indicating greater oversight by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) over data security, particularly for companies seeking to list on a foreign exchange, please revise your disclosure to explain how this oversight impacts your
