General
5.
The Sample Letters to China-Based Companies
sought specific disclosure relating to the risk that the PRC government may intervene in or influence your operations at any time, or
may exert control over operations of your business, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of the
securities you are registering for sale. We remind you that, pursuant to federal securities rules, the term “control” (including
the terms “controlling,” “controlled by,” and “under common control with”) as defined in Securities
Act Rule 405 means “the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies
of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.” We do not believe that the disclosure
identified below is consistent with the concerns relating to the above risks described in the Sample Letters.
● Replace “potential oversight”
on the cover page and page 54 with “significant oversight;”
● Replace “[t]hose laws and regulations
and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time” on pages 42 and 76 with “those laws and regulations
and their interpretation and application may also change quickly with little advance notice;” and
● Delete the language “in extreme
cases” that appears on the cover page and pages 4
and 93.
Response: We respectfully advise
the Staff that we have revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages 4, 45, 57, 79 and 96 of the Amended S-1 in response to the
Staff’s comment.
Should you have any questions relating to the foregoing or wish to
discuss any aspect of the Company’s filing, please contact our legal counsel David J. Levine, Esq. at 212.407.4923 or Vivien Bai,
