Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed February 1, 2024
Cover Page
1.We note your response to prior comment 2 and revised disclosure indicating that the
Chinese government disallowing your operations in Hong Kong "could lead to a
significant alteration in our operations..." Please revise this statement to reflect that such a
prohibition "would likely" result in a "material change" in your operations and/or the
value of the securities you are registering for sale. Additionally, please remove the
reference "[i]n a worst-case scenario" and provide a cross-reference to your detailed
discussion of risks facing the company and the offering as a result of this structure.
2.We note your revised risk factor disclosure in response to prior comment 3. Please revise
to provide this disclosure directly on the cover page. In revising, please prominently state

that there are legal and operational risks associated with being based in or having the
majority of the company's operations in Hong Kong. Further, we note your statement that
actions by China's government regarding VIEs, data security, and anti-monopoly concerns
"may impact" your ability to conduct business, accept foreign investments, or list on a
U.S. or other foreign exchange. Please explain how they may do so.
3.We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 4, particularly the inclusion
of laws related to data security and antimonopoly concerns in the list of Hong Kong laws
and regulations applicable to the company. Disclose on the prospectus cover page how
these particular regulatory actions have or may impact your ability to conduct
your business, accept foreign investment, or list on a U.S. or foreign exchange.
Additionally, where you list applicable Hong Kong data security regulations in the risk
factor on page 6, please explain how this oversight impacts the company's business and
the offering and to what extent the company believes that it is compliant with the
regulations or policies that have been issued.
4.We note your response to prior comment 6. Where you disclose that there is currently no
limitation on the use of your funds here and on pages 2 and 17, please further state that to
the extent cash in the business is in the PRC or Hong Kong, the funds may not be
available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC or Hong Kong due to
interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations by the PRC government
on your ability to transfer cash. Provide this disclosure in the summary risk factor and risk
factors sections as well, and provide cross-references to these other discussions on the
cover page. Additionally, please clarify whether the discussion of limitations on the "use"
of your funds is intended to reference your ability to transfer cash across borders and to
U.S. investors. If so, revise to state as much on the cover page and pages 2 and 17.

5.We note your response to prior comment 9. Please revise to include your response early in

6.We note your response to prior comment 11 and reissue in part. Please revise to add a
summary (i.e., a series of concise, bulleted or numbered statements) of the risks that are
described in the Risk Factors section of the prospectus. Each summary risk factor should
include a cross-reference to the relevant individual risk factor. In this summary of risk
factors, specifically discuss risks arising from the legal system in China, including risks
and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and that rules and regulations in
China can change quickly with little advance notice, and the risk that the Chinese
government may intervene or influence your operations at any time, or may exert more
control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based
issuers, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of the
securities you are registering for sale. Acknowledge any risks that any actions by the

liabilities against the officer and director based upon the U.S. federal securities laws.
