To Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the " Registration Statement "). Contemporaneously, we are filing an Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement via EDGAR (the " Amendment No. 2 "). In order to facilitate the review by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the " Staff ") of the Amendment No. 2, we have responded, on behalf of the Company, to the comments set forth in the Staff's Letter on a point-by-point basis. The numbered paragraphs set forth below respond to the Staff's comments and correspond to the numbered paragraph in the Staff's Letter. Form F-1/A filed May 30, 2025 Cover Page 1. We note that you are registering 25,000,000 units (the "Units"), consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, or, in lieu thereof, a pre-funded warrant; one series A warrant to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share; and one series B warrant to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share. Please revise the cover page header and your disclosure on page 16 to reflect the Units. Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the cover page and disclosure on page 16 had been updated to reflect the Units. Page 2 2. Please revise your reference from "zero price exercise" to "zero exercise price" throughout the prospectus. Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that reference of "zero price exercise" had been revised and replaced by "zero exercise price" or "zero exercise price option" throughout the prospectus. 3. We note your response to prior comment 1. Please ensure your fee table reflects the number of securities being registered. Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the fee table had been updated and filed to include the following statement: " However, a holder of the Series B Warrants may also effect the zero exercise price option at any time while the Series B Warrants are outstanding. Under the zero exercise price option, the holder of the Series B Warrants, has the right to receive the number of Class A Ordinary Shares as set forth in the applicable Series B Warrant, which will be more than such number of Class A Ordinary Shares that is issuable upon cash exercise or cashless exercise. We do not expect to receive any proceeds from the zero exercise price option of the Series B Warrants because it is highly unlikely that a holder of the Series B Warrants would elect to exercise the Series B Warrants by paying cash or via cashless exercise in lieu of the zero exercise price option. The maximum number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable under all Series B Warrants (including the zero exercise price option) shall not exceed 75,000,000. As such, holders of the Series B Warrants may elect to be issued up to 75,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares upon the zero exercise price option.

Contemporaneously, we are filing an Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement via EDGAR (the " Amendment No. 1 "). In order to facilitate the review by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the " Staff ") of the Amendment No. 1, we have responded, on behalf of the Company, to the comments set forth in the Staff's Letter on a point-by-point basis. The numbered paragraphs set forth below respond to the Staff's comments and correspond to the numbered paragraph in the Staff's Letter. Page 2 Registration Statement on Form F-1 Cover Page 1. We note your disclosure in the header that you are offering up to 25,000,000 Series B Warrants to "purchase" up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock. Given the existence of the "alternate cashless exercise" provision, it appears that those warrants will be exercised without any purchase payment. Accordingly, revise the header to reflect that the Series B Warrants have a zero exercise price or no exercise price option. Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the header had been updated to reflect that up to 75,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares are issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants to Purchase Class A Ordinary Shares at a Zero Exercise Price (added text in bold and underlined). 2. We note your references in your prospectus to an "alternative cashless exercise" of the Series B Warrants. The term "cashless exercise" is generally understood to allow a warrant holder to exercise a warrant without paying cash for the exercise price and reducing the number of shares receivable by the holder by an amount equal in value to the aggregate exercise price the holder would otherwise pay to exercise the warrants. In cashless exercises, it is expected that the warrant holder receives fewer shares than they would if they opted to pay the exercise price in cash. Please clarify your disclosure throughout the prospectus by removing the references to "alternative cashless exercise" and exclusively using the term "zero exercise price" or another appropriate term that conveys that, in addition to the company receiving no cash upon the "alternative cashless exercise," the warrant holders would be entitled to receive more shares than they would under the cash exercise terms. Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that throughout the prospectus, the references to "alternative cashless exercise" had been removed and replaced with the expression of "zero price exercise." In addition, on the cover page and pages 16, 21 and 47, the Company revised its disclosure that "Under the zero price exercise option, the holder of the Series B Warrants, has the right to receive the number of Class A Ordinary Shares as set forth in the applicable Series B Warrant , which will be more than such number of Class A Ordinary Shares that is issuable upon cash exercise or cashless exercise ." (added text in bold and underlined) 3. With respect to the warrants with an alternative cashless exercise feature, please revise the cover page narrative and Summary to explain, if true, that as a result of this feature you do not expect to receive any cash proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants because it is highly unlikely that a warrant holder would wish to pay an exercise price to receive one share when they could choose the alternative cashless exercise option and pay no money to receive more than one share. Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that on the cover page and pages 21 and 47, the Company added disclosure that " We do not expect to receive any proceeds from the zero price exercise of the Series B Warrants because it is highly unlikely that a holder of the Series B Warrants would elect to exercise the Series B Warrants by paying cash or via cashless exercise in lieu of the zero price exercise. " (added text in bold and underlined) Risk Factors, page 22 Page 3 4. We note your disclosures indicate that under the cashless exercise provision, your Series A and Series B warrant holders have the right to receive an aggregate number of shares based on the formula provided. Please revise the header, the cover page narrative and the Summary to highlight the maximum number of shares that could be issued upon exercise of your Series A warrants and your Series B warrants. For guidance, refer to Regulation S-K, Item 501(b)(2). Additionally, disclose that the number of shares issuable on the exercise of the warrant under the alternative cashless exercise provision increases as the stock price falls further below the initial exercise price of the warrant. Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that on the cover page and pages 22 and 45, the Company added disclosure the maximum number of Class A Ordinary Shares that are issuable upon cashless exercise of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants. The Company respectively advises the Staff that pursuant to "alternative cashless exercise" provision in Section 2(c)(ii) of the Series B Warrant, the number of shares issuable upon such alternative cashless exercise is fixed and will not increase as the stock price falls further below the initial exercise price. 5. We note your risk factor disclosure on page 21 concerning the potential for substantial dilution from the "alternative cashless exercise" provision. With reference to the disclosure on pages 21, please revise the risk factor disclosure, or add a new risk factor, to address potential dilution from the reset provision that could adjust upward the number of common shares underlying the Series B Warrants. The risk factor should disclose the maximum number of shares that may be issuable upon exercise of the warrants. Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that there is no reset provision under the Series B Warrants and the maximum number of shares that may be issuable upon "alternative cashless exercise" or "zero price exercise" under the Series B Warrants is disclosed in the risk factor on page 21. 6. Please include in your risk factor disclosure that the offering could cause the company's common stock price to fall below the minimum bid price. We note that on page 18, you received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq that based upon the closing bid price of the Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company for the last 30 consecutive business days, you no longer meet the continued listing requirement of Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2) and as a result, your shares could be delisted from Nasdaq. If you have any plans to seek shareholder approval for a reverse stock split, please disclose these plans in the registration statement, including the proposed ratio, if known. Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the risk factor on page 18 was updated. Please contact me at +852-3923 1187, Joan S. Guilfoyle at +1 (202) 524 8467 or Benjamin Yao at +852-3923 1154 if you would like additional information with respect to any of the foregoing. Thank you.

Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the requested information. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you provide in response to this letter, we may have additional comments. Registration Statement on Form F-1 Cover Page 1. We note your disclosure in the header that you are offering up to 25,000,000 Series B Warrants to purchase up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock. Given the existence of the "alternate cashless exercise" provision, it appears that those warrants will be exercised without any purchase payment. Accordingly, revise the header to reflect that the Series B Warrants have a zero exercise price or no exercise price option. 2. We note your references in your prospectus to an "alternative cashless exercise" of the Series B Warrants. The term "cashless exercise" is generally understood to allow a warrant holder to exercise a warrant without paying cash for the exercise price and reducing the number of shares receivable by the holder by an amount equal in value to May 28, 2025 Page 2 the aggregate exercise price the holder would otherwise pay to exercise the warrants. In cashless exercises, it is expected that the warrant holder receives fewer shares than they would if they opted to pay the exercise price in cash. Please clarify your disclosure throughout the prospectus by removing the references to "alternative cashless exercise" and exclusively using the term "zero exercise price" or another appropriate term that conveys that, in addition to the company receiving no cash upon the "alternative cashless exercise," the warrant holders would be entitled to receive more shares than they would under the cash exercise terms. 3. With respect to the warrants with an alternative cashless exercise feature, please revise the cover page narrative and Summary to explain, if true, that as a result of this feature you do not expect to receive any cash proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants because it is highly unlikely that a warrant holder would wish to pay an exercise price to receive one share when they could choose the alternative cashless exercise option and pay no money to receive more than one share. Risk Factors, page 22 4. We note your disclosures indicate that under the cashless exercise provision, your Series A and Series B warrant holders have the right to receive an aggregate number of shares based on the formula provided. Please revise the header, the cover page narrative and the Summary to highlight the maximum number of shares that could be issued upon exercise of your Series A warrants and your Series B warrants. For guidance, refer to Regulation S-K, Item 501(b)(2). Additionally, disclose that the number of shares issuable on the exercise of the warrant under the alternative cashless exercise provision increases as the stock price falls further below the initial exercise price of the warrant. 5. We note your risk factor disclosure on page 21 concerning the potential for substantial dilution from the "alternative cashless exercise" provision. With reference to the disclosure on pages 21, please revise the risk factor disclosure, or add a new risk factor, to address potential dilution from the reset provision that could adjust upward the number of common shares underlying the Series B Warrants. The risk factor should disclose the maximum number of shares that may be issuable upon exercise of the warrants. 6. Please include in your risk factor disclosure that the offering could cause the company's common stock price to fall below the minimum bid price. We note that on page 18, you received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq that based upon the closing bid price of the Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company for the last 30 consecutive business days, you no longer meet the continued listing requirement of Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2) and as a result, your shares could be delisted from Nasdaq. If you have any plans to seek shareholder approval for a reverse stock split, please disclose these plans in the registration statement, including the proposed ratio, if known. We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff. May 28, 2025 Page 3 Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration statement.

This letter is in response to the letter dated
December 9, 2022 from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
addressed to Chanson International Holding (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”). For ease of reference,

updated financial statements. Accordingly, if your registration statement is not effective by December 30, 2022, please update your financial
statements and related disclosures pursuant to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F or, if applicable, provide the appropriate representations in an

matters.
In response to the Staff’s comments, we
revised our disclosure on the cover page and pages 7 and 41 of Amended Registration Statement No. 7 to disclose that (i) the PCAOB has
the ability to inspect both our former auditor and our new auditor and (ii) neither our former auditor nor our new auditor is subject
to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021.
In responding to your comments, the Company acknowledges
that:

the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form F-1
Filed September 2, 2022
File No. 333-254909
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is in response to the letter dated
September 22, 2022 from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
addressed to Chanson International Holding (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”). For ease of reference,
we have recited the Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them accordingly. An amended Registration Statement on Form
F-1 (“Amended Registration Statement No. 6”) is being filed to accompany this letter.
General
1. Please disclose (1) whether your business
segments, products, lines of service, projects, or operations are materially impacted by the pandemic-related lockdowns in China and (2)
the impact of consumer demand declines in China. In addition, discuss any steps you are taking to mitigate adverse impacts to your business.
In response to the Staff’s comments, we revised
our disclosure on pages 12, 24, 74, and 75 of Amended Registration Statement No. 6 to (i) disclose the negative impact by the pandemic-related
lockdowns in China on the business, products, and operations of the Company’s PRC stores (the “PRC Stores”), and steps
the PRC Stores have taken to mitigate such impact and (ii) clarify that the decline in consumer demand in China has not had a material
impact on the PRC Stores.
2. You disclose that inflation affects your
results of operations. Please expand to identify the principal factor(s) contributing to the inflationary pressures the company has experienced
and clarify the resulting impact to the company, including to revenues, costs and expenses and gross profit. Please also identify actions
planned or taken, if any, to mitigate inflationary pressures.
In response to the Staff’s comments, we revised
our disclosure on pages 12 and 13 of Amended Registration Statement No. 6 to (i) clarify that the PRC Stores have not been materially
impacted by inflation and (ii) identify the principal factors contributing to the inflationary pressures the Company’s U.S. stores
(the “U.S. Stores”) have experienced, clarify the resulting impact, and identify actions taken to mitigate inflationary pressures.
3. Please disclose whether and how your business,
products, lines of service, projects, or operations are materially impacted by supply chain disruptions, especially in light of Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine. For example, discuss whether you have or expect to:
●
suspend the production, purchase, sale or maintenance of certain items due to a lack of raw materials, parts, or equipment; inventory shortages; closed factories or stores; reduced headcount; or delayed projects;
●
experience labor shortages that impact your business;
●
experience cybersecurity attacks in your supply chain;
●
experience higher costs due to constrained capacity or increased commodity prices or challenges sourcing materials (e.g., certain food products such as tomato paste);
●
experience surges or declines in consumer demand for which you are unable to adequately adjust your supply;
●
be unable to supply products at competitive prices or at all; or
●
be exposed to supply chain risk in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Explain whether and how you have undertaken
efforts to mitigate the impact and where possible quantify the impact to your business.
In response to the Staff’s comments, we revised
our disclosure on pages 12, 13, and 27 of Amended Registration Statement No. 6 to (i) clarify that the PRC Stores have not been materially
impacted by the supply chain disruptions and (ii) disclose the impacts of supply chain disruptions, especially in light of Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine, on the U.S. Stores and the efforts they have undertaken to mitigate the impact.
Capitalization, page 57
4. We note you present a full pro forma capitalization
column that assumes the over allotment option is exercised in full. Since it is not clear you can conclude that exercise of the over allotment
option is probable, it does not appear your current presentation is appropriate. In lieu of presenting a full pro forma column that assumes
the over allotment option is exercised in full, we would not object to a footnote to the pro forma column that excludes the over allotment
option to disclosure the impact if the over allotment option is exercised in full. Please be advised, this comment is also applicable
to your disclosures under Dilution.
In response to the Staff’s comments, we revised
our disclosure on page 61 of Amended Registration Statement No. 6 to remove the pro forma capitalization column that assumes the over-allotment
option is exercised in full. We also revised our disclosure on page 63 to remove the pro forma dilution column and table that assume the
over-allotment option is exercised in full.
Financial Statements, page F-1
5. Please continue to consider the financial
statement updating requirements of Item 8.A.5 of Form 20-F.
In response to the Staff’s comments, we
provided updated interim financial statements and related disclosure in Amended Registration Statement No. 6 as required by Item 8.A.5
of Form 20-F.
In responding to your comments, the Company acknowledges

●
the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

Prospectus Summary
Selected Condensed Consolidated Financial
Schedule of Chanson International and Its Subsidiaries and VIEs, page 15
1. We note that your condensed consolidated
financial schedules do not present certain major lines items. Please revise your condensed consolidated financial schedules to present
additional major line items such as cost of revenue, equity in earnings (loss) of subsidiaries and VIEs, and related subtotals, and disaggregated
intercompany amounts, such as separate line items for intercompany revenues, receivables, and payables based on fees the WFOE is entitled
to under certain contractual agreements that comprise the VIE agreements. The objective of the disclosure is to allow an investor to evaluate
the nature of assets held by, and the operations of, entities apart from the VIEs, as well as the nature and amounts associated with intercompany
transactions. Any intercompany amounts should be presented on a gross basis and when necessary, additional disclosures about such amounts
should be included in order to make the information presented not misleading. Please also revise the condensed consolidated financial
schedules to provide separate columns for the WFOEs that are the primary beneficiary of the VIEs.
In response to the Staff’s comments, we

Dear
Mr. Ingram:
This
letter is in response to the letter dated September 8, 2021 from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) addressed to Chanson International Holding (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”).
For ease of reference, we have recited the Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them accordingly. An amended Registration
Statement on Form F-1 (“Amended Registration Statement No. 3”) is being filed to accompany this letter.
Prospectus
Cover Page, page i
1.
Please disclose prominently on the prospectus cover page that you are not a Chinese operating company but a Cayman Islands holding company
with operations conducted by your subsidiaries and through contractual arrangements with a variable interest entity (VIE) based in China
and that this structure involves unique risks to investors. Explain whether the VIE structure is used to replicate foreign investment
in Chinese-based companies where Chinese law prohibits direct foreign investment in the operating companies, and disclose that investors
may never directly hold equity interests in the Chinese operating company. Your disclosure should acknowledge that Chinese regulatory
authorities could disallow this structure, which would likely result in a material change in your operations and/or value of your ordinary
shares, including that it could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. Provide a cross-reference
to your detailed discussion of risks facing the company and the offering as a result of this structure.
In
response to the Staff’s comments, we revised our disclosure on the prospectus cover page and pages 1 and 6 of Amended Registration
Statement No. 3 to (i) disclose that we are not a Chinese operating company but a Cayman Islands holding company with operations conducted
by our subsidiaries in China and the U.S. and through contractual arrangements with our VIEs in China and that this structure involves
unique risks to investors, (ii) explain that the VIE structure is used to replicate foreign investment in Chinese-based companies but
Chinese law does not prohibit direct foreign investment in our VIEs, and (iii) disclose that investors may never directly hold equity
interests in our VIEs.
2.
Provide prominent disclosure about the legal and operational risks associated with being based in or having the majority of the company’s
operations in China. Your disclosure should make clear whether these risks could result in a material change in your operations and/or
the value of your ordinary shares or 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. Your disclosure should address how recent
statements and regulatory actions by China’s government, such as those related to the use of variable interest entities and data
security or anti-monopoly concerns, has or may impact the company’s ability to conduct its business, accept foreign investments,
or list on an U.S. or other foreign exchange. Your prospectus summary should address, but not necessarily be limited to, the risks highlighted
on the prospectus cover page.
In
response to the Staff’s comments, we revised our disclosure on the prospectus cover page and page 6 of Amended Registration Statement
No. 3 to disclose the legal and operational risks associated with having the majority of our operations in China.
3.
Clearly disclose how you will refer to the holding company, subsidiaries, and VIEs 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. Refrain from using terms such as “we” or “our” when describing activities or functions of a VIE.
Disclose clearly the entity (including the domicile) in which investors are purchasing their interest.
In
response to the Staff’s comments, we revised our disclosure throughout Amended Registration Statement No. 3 to make it clear to
investors which entity the disclosure is referencing and which subsidiaries or entities are conducting the business operations.
Prospectus
Summary, page 1
4.
Disclose clearly that the company uses a structure that involves a VIE based in China and what that entails and provide early in the
summary a diagram of the company’s corporate structure, including who the equity ownership interests are of each entity. Describe
all contracts and arrangements through which you purport to obtain economic rights and exercise control that results in consolidation
of the VIE’s operations and financial results into your financial statements. Identify clearly the entity in which investors are
purchasing their interest and the entity(ies) in which the company’s operations are conducted. Describe the relevant contractual
agreements between the entities and how this type of corporate structure may affect investors and the value of their investment, including
how and why the contractual arrangements may be less effective than direct ownership and that the company may incur substantial costs
to enforce the terms of the arrangements. Disclose the uncertainties regarding the status of the rights of the Cayman Islands holding
company with respect to its contractual arrangements with the VIE, its founders and owners, and the challenges the company may face enforcing
these contractual agreements due to uncertainties under Chinese law and jurisdictional limits.
In response to the Staff’s comments, we
revised our disclosure on pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of Amended Registration Statement No. 3.
5.
In your summary of risk factors, disclose the risks that your corporate structure and being based in or having the majority of the company’s
operations in China poses to investors. In particular, describe the significant regulatory, liquidity, and enforcement risks with cross-references
to the more detailed discussion of these risks in the prospectus. For example, 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 your ordinary shares. Acknowledge any risks that any actions by the Chinese government to exert
more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers 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.
2
In
response to the Staff’s comments, we revised our disclosure on pages 9, 30, and 31 of Amended Registration Statement No. 3 to describe
the risks that having the majority of our operations in China poses to investors.
6.
Disclose each permission that you, your subsidiaries or your VIEs are required to obtain from Chinese authorities to operate and issue
these securities to foreign investors. State whether you, your subsidiaries, or VIEs are covered by permissions requirements from the
CSRC, CAC or any other entity that is required to approve of the VIE’s operations, and state affirmatively whether you have received

Revise your risk factors to acknowledge that if the PRC government determines that the contractual arrangements constituting part of
your VIE structure do not comply with PRC regulations, or if these regulations change or are interpreted differently in the future, your

subsidiaries that conduct all or substantially all of your operations.

acknowledge the risk that any such action could significantly limit or completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities

Dear Mr. Chen:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following
comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we
may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments.
Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed August 27, 2021
Prospectus Cover Page, page i
1.Please disclose prominently on the prospectus cover page that you are not a Chinese
operating company but a Cayman Islands holding company with operations conducted by
your subsidiaries and through contractual arrangements with a variable interest entity
(VIE) based in China and that this structure involves unique risks to investors. Explain
whether the VIE structure is used to replicate foreign investment in Chinese-based
companies where Chinese law prohibits direct foreign investment in the operating
companies, and disclose that investors may never directly hold equity interests in the
Chinese operating company. Your disclosure should acknowledge that Chinese regulatory
authorities could disallow this structure, which would likely result in a material change in
your operations and/or value of your ordinary shares, including that it could cause the

value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. Provide a cross-
reference to your detailed discussion of risks facing the company and the offering as a
result of this structure.
2.Provide prominent disclosure about the legal and operational risks associated with being
based in or having the majority of the company’s operations in China. Your disclosure
should make clear whether these risks could result in a material change in your operations
and/or the value of your ordinary shares or 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. Your disclosure should address how
recent statements and regulatory actions by China’s government, such as those related to
the use of variable interest entities and data security or anti-monopoly concerns, has or
may impact the company’s ability to conduct its business, accept foreign investments, or
list on an U.S. or other foreign exchange. Your prospectus summary should address, but
not necessarily be limited to, the risks highlighted on the prospectus cover page.
3.Clearly disclose how you will refer to the holding company, subsidiaries, and VIEs 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. Refrain from using terms such as “we” or “our” when describing
activities or functions of a VIE. Disclose clearly the entity (including the domicile) in
which investors are purchasing their interest.
Prospectus Summary, page 1
4.Disclose clearly that the company uses a structure that involves a VIE based in China and
what that entails and provide early in the summary a diagram of the company’s corporate
structure, including who the equity ownership interests are of each entity. Describe all
contracts and arrangements through which you purport to obtain economic rights and
exercise control that results in consolidation of the VIE’s operations and financial results
into your financial statements. Identify clearly the entity in which investors are
purchasing their interest and the entity(ies) in which the company’s operations are
conducted. Describe the relevant contractual agreements between the entities and how
this type of corporate structure may affect investors and the value of their investment,
including how and why the contractual arrangements may be less effective than direct
ownership and that the company may incur substantial costs to enforce the terms of the
arrangements. Disclose the uncertainties regarding the status of the rights of the Cayman
Islands holding company with respect to its contractual arrangements with the VIE, its
founders and owners, and the challenges the company may face enforcing these
contractual agreements due to uncertainties under Chinese law and jurisdictional limits.
5.In your summary of risk factors, disclose the risks that your corporate structure and being
based in or having the majority of the company’s operations in China poses to investors.
In particular, describe the significant regulatory, liquidity, and enforcement risks with
cross-references to the more detailed discussion of these risks in the prospectus. For

example, 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
your ordinary shares. Acknowledge any risks that any actions by the Chinese government
to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or
foreign investment in China-based issuers 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.
6.Disclose each permission that you, your subsidiaries or your VIEs are required to obtain
from Chinese authorities to operate and issue these securities to foreign investors. State
whether you, your subsidiaries, or VIEs are covered by permissions requirements from the
CSRC, CAC or any other entity that is required to approve of the VIE’s operations, and
state affirmatively whether you have received all requisite permissions and whether any
permissions have been denied.
7.Provide a clear description of how cash is transferred through your organization. Disclose
your intentions to distribute earnings or settle amounts owed under the VIE agreements.
Quantify any cash flows and transfers of other assets by type that have occurred between
the holding company, its subsidiaries, and consolidated VIEs, and direction of transfer.
Quantify any dividends or distributions that a subsidiary or consolidated VIE have made
to the holding company and which entity made such transfer, and their tax consequences.
Similarly quantify dividends or distributions made to U.S. investors, the source, and their
tax consequences. 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 your businesses,
including subsidiaries and/or consolidated VIEs, to the parent company and U.S. investors
as well as the ability to settle amounts owed under the VIE agreements.
8.We note that the consolidated VIEs constitute a material part of your consolidated
financial statements. Please provide in tabular form condensed consolidating schedule -
depicting the financial position, cash flows and results of operations for the parent, the
consolidated variable interest entities, and any eliminating adjustments separately - as of
the same dates and for the same periods for which audited consolidated financial
statements are required. Highlight the financial statement information related to the
variable interest entity and parent, so an investor may evaluate the nature of assets held
