2.We note that you have removed risk factor disclosure regarding forum selection
provisions in your post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of
association and deposit agreement, but disclosure at pages 152-153 continues to indicate
that your amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will contain an
exclusive forum provision. If true, please restore a risk factor that describes this provision,
identifies any risks or other impacts on investors, and addresses any uncertainty about
enforceability.

3.We note your response to prior comment 11 and reissue in part. Revise the cross-
referenced "History of Securities Issuances and Repurchases" section at page 158 to
identify the beneficial owners of the listed entities, so that investors better understand the
nature of your relationship with these related parties. For example, we note from your
revisions in response to prior comment 11 that your employees beneficially own certain of
the entities identified at page 158. Additionally, identify the "company ultimately
controlled by a supervisory board member of Beijing Chagee."
