    Response to the Staff’s Comments on Form 20-F for the Fiscal
    Year Ended December 31, 2023 and Form 6-K Furnished August 29, 2024, File No. 001-41516

Dear Mr. Shapiro and Mr. Shenk:

TH International Limited (the “Company”),
a foreign private issuer incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), are submitting to
the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
this letter setting forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the Staff’s letter dated September 23, 2024
regarding the above-referenced Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 20-F”) and
the Form 6-K Furnished August 29, 2024 (the “Form 6-K”), File No. 001-41516.

The Staff’s comments are repeated below
in bold and followed by the Company’s response. Capitalized terms used herein and otherwise not defined shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Form 20-F and Form 6-K.

Form 20-F for Fiscal Year Ended

December 31,
2023 Company-Operated

Store Costs and Expenses, page 69

 1. A significant portion of your company-operated store costs and expenses disclosure is dedicated to
stating, in narrative text form, dollar changes in accounts disclosed in the table on the preceding page. In addition, while you discuss
certain factors to which changes are attributable, you do not quantify certain of these factors. For example, you state payroll and employee
benefits increased primarily due to increased headcount of your store operations, but you do not quantify this factor nor analyze the
underlying reasons for the change in payroll and employee benefits decreasing as a percent of total revenues. As such, please consider
revising this section by:

 ● separately discussing and analyzing each expense line item;

 ● relying on tables to present dollar and percentage changes in accounts, rather than including and
repeating such information in narrative text form;

 ● listing and quantifying all of the material individual factors to which changes in accounts are
attributable in the narrative text portion of the disclosure and providing analysis of the underlying reasons for the individual factors;
and

 ● quantifying the effects of changes in price, volume, and new lines of business on the expense line
items, where appropriate.

Response: In
response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has proposed to add below quantifying analysis on individual factors and to revise
the disclosure of company-operated store costs and expenses on page 69 of the Form 20-F:

1 Basis points which is used to express differences in rates.
One basis point is the equivalent of 1/100 of one percent.

2 Store days represents cumulative store operating days during
the specific period. The increase was primarily driven by the net opening of 82 company owned and operated stores during 2023.

3 Pricing impacts were mostly because of decreased rental rate
as a result of market price changes and certain rent concessions that we received during 2023.

4 The changes were primarily due to the shift in employee structure
from full-time store employees to part-time store employees.

Item 5 - Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

Results of Operations

Revenues, page 69

Response: In
response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has proposed to add below quantify factors and to revise the disclosure of general
and administrative expenses on page 69 of the Form 20-F:

General and administrative expenses:

    Year Ended December 31,

    2023
    2022
    2023 vs 2022

    (in thousands of RMB, except for percentages and bps)

    General and administrative expenses

      289,544
      54,079

    As a percentage of total revenues
      21.8 %
      28.6 %
      N/A
      (683) bps (1)

Our general and administrative expenses increased by 18.7% from RMB289.5
million in 2022 to RMB343.6 million (US$48.4 million) in 2023, primarily due to:

 ● RMB5.3
                                            million increase in payroll and employee benefits as a result of growing headcount from 446
                                            at end of December 2022 to 483 at end of December 2023;

 ● RMB23.7
                                            million increase in share-based compensation expenses;

 ● RMB12.5
                                            million incurrence in impairment losses of rental deposits as a result of store closures;

 ● RMB22.1
                                            million increase of professional fees related to our financing programs; and

 ● RMB9.5million
                                            decrease in other professional fees and other miscellaneous expenses.

Note

1 Basis points which is used to express differences in rates.
One basis point is the equivalent of 1/100 of one percent.

3. Please quantify material factors to which changes are attributed and the impacts of changes in price, volume, and new lines of
business on your results of operations. For example, you disclose company owned and operated stores revenue increased due to store count,
number of days open, and same-store sales growth, but do not quantify the effects of these factors on revenue.

Response:
In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company respectfully confirms that it will add a quantitative
analysis on the company owned and operated store revenues based on factors attributable to changes in price, volume, and new lines of
business etc. in related disclosures going forward. The Company also proposed to make below new disclosure on the year-over-year growth
of revenues from company owned and operated stores in 2023 on page 69 of the Form 20-F:

Our revenues from company owned and operated stores were
RMB1,405.4 million (US$197.9 million) in 2023, compared to RMB938.1 million in 2022, representing a 49.8% year-over-year growth. The growth
was mainly attributable to an 82.5% increase in number of orders from 28.5 million in 2022 to 52.0 million in 2023, offset by a 17.9%
decrease in average ticket size from RMB32.92 in 2022 to RMB27.03 in 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures, page 73

4. Please explain why you believe it is appropriate to adjust for store pre-opening expenses in the non-GAAP measures Adjusted Corporate
EBITDA (and margin), Adjusted Net Loss (and margin), and Adjusted basic and diluted net loss per Ordinary Share. Refer to Question 100.01
of the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations on Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

Response:
In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that the store
pre-opening expenses primarily consist of the non-cash rental expenses recognized during the rent-free store pre-opening period under
U.S. GAAP, as well as labor and material costs incurred during the store pre-opening period, and that this non-cash rental adjustment
as well as adjustment for labor and material costs incurred during the store pre-opening period provides management and investors with
a more meaningful and reliable presentation about the performance of the Company’s revenue-generating activities and the profitability
of its operations, therefore enhancing the comparability of the Company’s results of operations from period to period. Therefore,
the Company believes that is not substituting an individually tailored recognition and measurement method for a GAAP measure and that
the current presentation is in compliance with Question 100.04 of the Staff’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations on Non-GAAP
Financial Measures.

However, in light of the Staff’s comments, the Company
will no longer adjust store pre-opening expenses in these non-GAAP measures going forward.

5. With regard to Adjusted Store EBITDA (and margin), please revise to reconcile from the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which
appears to be GAAP operating profit or loss. To avoid the impression that this restaurant-level profit (loss) measure is a company-wide
measure of performance, please discontinue the use of the term “EBITDA” in its title.

Response:
In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company respectfully advises that current Adjusted Store
EBITDA (and margin) reconciliation is based on its most directly comparable GAAP measure, i.e., fully-burdened gross profit prepared in
accordance with GAAP, as per the Staff’s Comment Letter dated January 5, 2022. The Company respectfully confirms that fully-burdened
gross profit equals to GAAP operating profit or loss for company owned and operated stores. The Company also respectfully proposed to
use “Company owned and operated store contribution” to replace “adjusted store EBITDA” going forward to avoid
the impression that this restaurant-level profit (loss) measure is a company-wide measure of performance.

A significant portion of your company-operated store costs and expenses disclosure is
dedicated to stating, in narrative text form, dollar changes in accounts disclosed in the
table on the preceding page. In addition, while you discuss certain factors to which
changes are attributable, you do not quantify certain of these factors.  For example, you
state payroll and employee benefits increased primarily due to increased headcount of
your store operations, but you do not quantify this factor nor analyze the underlying
reasons for the change in payroll and employee benefits decreasing as a percent of total
revenues. As such, please consider revising this section by:

•separately discussing and analyzing each expense line item;
•relying on tables to present dollar and percentage changes in accounts, rather than
including and repeating such information in narrative text form;1.

                                            investors an amount that adjusts if the VWAP falls below $10.40, $10.60 or $10.90, based
                                            on the applicable reference period following the closing date of the business combination.
                                            In connection therewith:

 • Please
                                            quantify the three applicable reference payments that may be due based on your recent trading
                                            prices, and also revise your disclosure to provide an estimate of the price paid per share
                                            after accounting for the option premium payment as well as the reference period payments
                                            (e.g., estimate the price paid per share by using recent trading prices as a proxy for the
                                            VWAP adjustments to illustrate how much the applicable investors paid after accounting for
                                            the anticipated amount that you may pay to each investor at the end of the applicable reference
                                            periods).

In
response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 14, 15, 16, 47  and 48 of the Revised Registration
Statement.

 • We also note your disclosure that "the ESA Investors may experience a potential profit if the price of our Ordinary Shares
exceeds $10.00 per Ordinary Share." Please revise to also explain the circumstances upon which such investors may profit if the price
of the ordinary shares are below $10.00 per share.

In
response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages 15 and 64 of the Revised
Registration Statement.

 • Revise your summary to discuss the risks that this agreement may pose to other holders if you are required to pay such reference
period amounts. For example, discuss how such payments would impact the cash you have available for other purposes and to execute your
business strategy and how your stock price/stock volatility might be affected. In revising your discussion, also disclose the related
risks of the convertible notes agreement, including the risk that you may be required to repurchase all of the applicable holders' notes.
Last, please include a standalone risk factor discussing such risks.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has
revised the disclosure on pages 16, 17, 47, 48 and 49 of the Revised Registration Statement.

 2. We note your disclosure that you are registering for resale certain shares that "were acquired by Pangaea Two Acquisition
Holdings XXIIA Limited and Pangaea Two Acquisition Holdings XXIII, Ltd. for nominal consideration." Please revise to clarify
that Peter Yu is the controlling owner of these shares and disclose what the "nominal" consideration paid for such shares was,
to provide investors with a more complete picture of the offering.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has
revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages 13 and 66 the Revised Registration Statement.

 3. We note your disclosure that you are registering the shares issuable upon exercise of the sponsor warrants, and you state that
the sponsor purchased such warrants "for a total consideration of $9,400,000 in a private placement concurrent with the initial public
offering of Silver Crest." Please disclose the price paid per warrant, and also reconcile with your disclosure in the Form 8-K
of Silver Crest Acquisition Corp, filed January 20, 2021, which indicates that the total consideration in such private placement
was $8,900,000. Additionally, where you discuss the 5,050,000 ordinary shares issued to the PIPE investors at $10.00 per share, revise
to clarify that the sponsor purchased and is registering for resale 500,000 of such shares.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has
revised the disclosure on the cover page of the Revised Registration Statement.

    2022

 4. We
                                            note your disclosure that the notes investors purchased an aggregate principal amount of
                                            $50 million notes for a purchase price of 98% of the principal amount thereof. Please disclose
                                            the conversion price per underlying share, which appears to be $11.50 according to your disclosure
                                            on page 101 per underlying share, as well as the purchase price per underlying share.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has
revised the disclosure on the cover page of the Revised Registration Statement.

 5. We note that you propose registering the 4,450,000 and 1,200,000 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the sponsor warrants
and the PIPE warrants, respectively, in both primary and resale offerings, thereby indicating that you intend to sell certain underlying
shares pursuant to Section 5 of the Securities Act and/or pursuant to an exemption(s) from Section 5 of the Securities
Act. Please tell us why you are proposing to offer the same securities pursuant to two separate types of issuances/offerings and provide
us with your analysis as to how this complies with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company
respectfully advises the Staff that the registration of the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants currently
held by the sponsor and the PIPE investors in both the primary and resale offerings is necessary because such shares could
potentially be issued by the Company to holders other than the sponsor and the PIPE investors after the warrants are sold by the
sponsor and/or the PIPE investors into the public market.

Recent Development page 12

 6. Please summarize the option agreement, dated August 19, 2022, as you are registering the resale of 200,000 shares in connection
therewith.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has
revised the disclosure on page 17 of the Revised Registration Statement.

Use of Proceeds, page 68

 7. We note your disclosure on pages 20 and 21 that "[t]he likelihood that warrant holders will exercise the Warrants
and any cash proceeds that we would receive is dependent upon the market price of our Ordinary Shares" and " [i]f the market
price for our Ordinary Shares is less than $11.50 per share, we believe warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise their Warrants."
Please revise to disclose this here when discussing the warrants. Additionally, in your section entitled "Liquidity and Capital Resources"
beginning on page 101, to the extent that your warrants are out-of-the-money, please describe how this impacts your liquidity and
update the discussion on the ability of your company to fund your operations on a prospective basis with your current cash on hand.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has
revised the disclosure on pages 73 and 106 of the Revised Registration Statement.

 8. We note that the projected total revenue from your company owned and operated stores for 2022 was $244.6 million, as set forth
in the unaudited prospective financial information management prepared and provided to the board in connection with the evaluation of
the business combination. To the extent material, please update your disclosure in Liquidity and Capital Resources, and elsewhere, to
provide updated information about the company’s financial position and further risks to the business operations and liquidity, including
whether you will meet your 2022 revenue projections. In this regard, it appears that your total 2022 revenue as of June 30, 2022
was $60.295 million, according to your disclosure on page 89.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company
respectfully advises the Staff that the current disclosure under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and elsewhere in the
Revised Registration Statement with respect to the Company’s liquidity and capital resources is sufficiently up to date. As
stated in the Company’s registration statement on the Form F-4 (Registration No. 333-259743), the revenue projection
included therein was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure and should not be relied on as “guidance” for
investment decision, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or otherwise revise or reconcile the projection to reflect
circumstances existing since April 2021, which was when the projection was generated.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has
filed the option agreement and the executed convertible note purchase agreements as exhibits to the Revised Registration Statement.

    22, 2022

    Termination of BofA Securities's Engagements, page 124

        1.
    Please revise to provide a reasonable basis for your disclosure regarding the view of THIL's board and of Silver Crest's board that the terminations of the financial advisors' engagements was "part of a broader response to the proposed rules rather than as a reaction to a particular concern about the Business Combination." This language continues to be speculative and we note that neither adviser has "confirmed whether it agrees with the disclosure made in this proxy statement/prospectus relating to the termination." Alternatively, please remove such statements. In connection therewith, please revise to provide a further explanation as to why there was "no reason to discount any work or advice provided by" BofA Securities or UBS (e.g., explain the process by which the boards made such determinations after receiving the termination letters). Please make conforming changes in your section entitled "Termination of UBS's Engagements" on page 125, as well as in your risk factors on pages 89, 90 and 91.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 89, 91, 126 and 128 of the Revised Registration Statement.

    Termination of UBS's Engagements, page 125

       2.
    We note your disclosure that “[i]n a letter sent by representatives of UBS to Silver Crest on June 9, 2022, UBS waived its claim to the deferred underwriting commissions." Please disclose whether UBS provided you with any reasons for the fee waiver. If there was no dialogue and you did not seek out the reasons why UBS was waiving deferred fees, despite already completing their services, please indicate so in your registration statement. Further, revise your risk factor disclosure to explicitly clarify that UBS has performed all their obligations to obtain the fee and therefore is gratuitously waiving the right to be compensated, and address whether such fee waiver is unusual in nature and whether this impacted Silver Crest's evaluation of the business combination.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the
    Company has revised the disclosure on pages xxii – xxiii, 90 and 127 of the Revised Registration Statement.

    Please revise to also discuss results of operations and liquidity for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

    In Exhibit 5.1, please revise to exclude THIL from your assumptions regarding "the authority of such persons signing" and the "due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto."

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised Exhibit 5.1 of the Revised Registration Statement to limit the nature
of the assumptions with respect to THIL.

Please also provide us with a letter from UBS and its affiliates stating whether they agree with the statements made in your proxy statement/prospectus related to their resignation and, if not, stating the respects in which they do not agree.

    We note your responses to comments 16 and 17 as well as your amended disclosure on page 122 that BofA Securities organized and processed "publicly available market data with respect to sector-specific comparable companies for the preparation of certain valuation-related marketing materials that were presented to and reviewed by Silver Crest’s board of directors and management and PIPE investors." Please further revise to clarify the role of BofA Securities and its affiliates in preparing, presenting, analyzing and/or discussing the comparable companies and valuation-related analyses and materials. Please clarify what you mean by "valuation-related marketing materials." Please tell us in your response whether BofA Securities or any of its affiliates was involved in the preparation of any disclosure that is included in the registration statement or material underlying disclosure in the registration statement, revise to clarify who prepared the "financial projections provided by THIL’s management" and reviewed by Silver Crest's board, revise your risk factor on page 87 to describe the role of BofA Securities and its affiliates in connection with the preparation of the registration statement and the valuation of THIL, and revise your disclosure on page 122 to disclose whether BofA Securities or any of its affiliates has notified Silver Crest of the disassociation of the valuation-related materials.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 89, 124 and 128 of the Revised Registration Statement.

    6.
    We note your summary of the "relative valuation analysis reviewed by Silver Crest’s board of directors" that assesses comparable companies selected by Silver Crest's management. As your disclosure on page 122 indicates that such analyses were prepared by BofA Securities and included in the materials presented and reviewed by Silver Crest's board, please provide us with your analysis of whether such materials fall within the purview of Item 4(b) of Form F-4, and if such materials differ from the analyses of the companies selected by Silver Crest's management, explain such difference. To the extent that you conclude that such materials constitute an Item 4(b) report, please summarize in a separate section the valuation-related analyses/materials prepared by BofA Securities and provide the information required by Item 4(b) of Form F-4 and Item 1015(b)(6) of Regulation M-A, including the underlying data for each selected company, and also file such analyses/materials as an exhibit to this registration statement, consistent with Item 21(c) of Form F-4.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 89, 90, 124, 126 and 129 of the Revised Registration
Statement. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the “relative valuation analysis reviewed by Silver Crest’s board
of directors” was prepared by Silver Crest’s management and that neither Merrill Lynch (Asia Pacific) Limited (“BofA
Securities”) nor UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”) provided any report, opinion or appraisal that is required to be disclosed
under Item 4(b) of Form F-4 or Item 1015(b)(6) of Regulation M-A. BofA Securities only assisted THIL with compiling publicly available
information on publicly-traded companies selected by THIL’s board of directors on the basis of its professional judgment as comparable
to THIL and appropriate for its relative valuation analysis regarding THIL and did not provide any related analysis. While UBS provided
benchmarking and structuring guidance to Silver Crest, the information compiled by UBS in connection with its benchmarking and structuring
guidance was based on publicly available information on publicly-traded companies selected by Silver Crest’s management on the basis
of its professional judgment as comparable to THIL and appropriate for the relative valuation analysis it prepared regarding THIL.

June 22, 2022

    7.
    We note your response to comment 18, as well as your amended disclosure that "Silver Crest's board of directors views the termination of BofA Securities’s engagements as part of a broader response to the proposed rules rather than as a reaction to a particular concern about the Business Combination." Please elaborate on the board's views -- including the basis for such views -- that the resignation of BofA Securities and its affiliates is related to the SEC's proposed rules and not specifically to the Business Combination, and disclose whether BofA Securities and its affiliates agree with such characterization. Disclose what consideration the board gave to the information provided by BofA Securities in connection with the transaction, including the comparable companies analyses that forms a part of the valuation-related materials, in light of BofA Securities' disassociation with such materials and whether the board continues to rely on such information; to the extent the board continues to rely on such information, please disclose the board's rationale in doing so given that the information was provided by an advisor that has since resigned and disassociated itself from such information and the liability related to such information. Please revise your disclosure to address these issues in the context of UBS' resignation, as well.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 89, 91, 125 and 127 of the Revised Registration Statement.

letter and indemnification agreement between Silver Crest and UBS, as discussed on page 123.

6.We note your summary of the "relative valuation analysis reviewed by Silver Crest’s
board of directors" that assesses comparable companies selected by Silver Crest's
management.  As your disclosure on page 122 indicates that such analyses were prepared
by BofA Securities and included in the materials presented and reviewed by Silver Crest's
board, please provide us with your analysis of whether such materials fall within the
purview of Item 4(b) of Form F-4, and if such materials differ from the analyses of the
companies selected by Silver Crest's management, explain such difference.  To the extent
that you conclude that such materials constitute an Item 4(b) report, please summarize in a
separate section the valuation-related analyses/materials prepared by BofA Securities and
provide the information required by Item 4(b) of Form F-4 and Item 1015(b)(6) of
Regulation M-A, including the underlying data for each selected company, and also file
such analyses/materials as an exhibit to this registration statement, consistent with Item
21(c) of Form F-4.
7.We note your response to comment 18, as well as your amended disclosure that "Silver
Crest's board of directors views the termination of BofA Securities’s engagements as part
of a broader response to the proposed rules rather than as a reaction to a particular concern
about the Business Combination."  Please elaborate on the board's views -- including the
basis for such views -- that the resignation of BofA Securities and its affiliates is related to
the SEC's proposed rules and not specifically to the Business Combination, and disclose
whether BofA Securities and its affiliates agree with such characterization.  Disclose what
consideration the board gave to the information provided by BofA Securities in
connection with the transaction, including the comparable companies analyses that forms
a part of the valuation-related materials, in light of BofA Securities' disassociation with
such materials and whether the board continues to rely on such information; to the extent
the board continues to rely on such information, please disclose the board's rationale in
doing so given that the information was provided by an advisor that has since resigned and
disassociated itself from such information and the liability related to such information.
Please revise your disclosure to address these issues in the context of UBS' resignation, as
well.

    1.
    Clearly disclose how you will refer to the holding company and its 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. Your revisions should include definitions of "PRC subsidiaries," "Hong Kong subsidiary" and "HK subsidiary."

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages v, vi, 36, 155 and 179 of the Revised Registration Statement and throughout the Revised Registration Statement.

    Summary, page 1

    2.
    We note your amended disclosure that provides the same-store sales growth for the second half of 2020 and 2021, as well as your disclosure that discusses revenue of your stores on a "year-over-year basis since 2020." To provide shareholders with a complete and balanced picture of your company, please provide same-store sales growth data for all of 2020 and 2021 or tell us why you are excluding data from the first half of 2020 and 2021.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 2 and 178 of the Revised Registration Statement.

    3.
    We note your disclosure relating to "volatility in the supply and price of raw materials," the impact of supply chain issues and inflationary pressures on the economy, and the availability and cost of imported coffee beans. We also note press reports indicating that Tim Hortons has increased its prices in China. Please update your disclosure to expand upon the actual and anticipated impact of inflation, supply chain issues and your increased prices on your business, results of operations, margins, outlook, goals and customers, and discuss the risks of such issues to your business and investors more specifically (as opposed to including boilerplate language). To the extent that you have passed or anticipate passing along costs to customers, please quantify such amounts in your section entitled "THIL's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and narratively discuss the impact on your business if price increases continue, including the impact on your working capital needs if your margins are compressed. Additionally, please revise to discuss known trends or uncertainties resulting from inflation, supply chain issues and your increased prices, as well as from current or anticipated mitigation efforts relating to the same, if any, and explain whether any mitigation efforts introduce new material risks, including those related to quality, reliability, or regulatory approval. Please refer to Item 303(b) of Regulation S-K. Last, to the extent that you are impacted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine (which we note you reference on page F-60 in your amended disclosure), please revise to provide more specific disclosures about the legal and operational risks, as well as the impact on your results of operations, as a result of such invasion. For additional guidance, please see the Division of Corporation Finance’s Sample Letter to Companies Regarding Disclosures Pertaining to Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine and Related Supply Chain Issues issued by the Staff in May 2022. Please revise your discussions of supply chain issues to clarify that the pandemic is no longer the sole source of such issues.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 2, 3, 4, 37, 41, 42, 58, 178, 179 and 180 of the Revised Registration Statement.

    We note your response to comment 3, as well as your amended disclosure. Please further revise here, on the prospectus cover page and in the risk factors to clarify, if true, that the identified restrictions on your ability to transfer cash/assets are based on relevant PRC law and that you do not have any other cash management policies that dictate how funds are transferred between you and your subsidiaries, including those not in the PRC. In addition, here, on the prospectus cover page and in the risk factors, revise your statement regarding "potential interventions in or the imposition of these restrictions and limitations by the PRC" (emphasis included) to include new and other restrictions and limitations, as well. Also include a statement here, on the prospectus cover page and in the risk factors that, to the extent cash/assets are in Hong Kong or a Hong Kong entity, the cash/assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of you and your Hong Kong subsidiary by the PRC government to transfer cash/assets.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages 6, 7, 60, 61, 62, 63, 193 and 194 of the Revised Registration Statement.

    Regulatory Matters, page 22

    5.
    We note your response to comment 9, as well as your deletion of "other PRC regulatory authorities" on pages 22, 23 and 124. Please revise to expand these discussions of consequences, so that they apply to all permissions or approvals that you are required to obtain from the PRC and Hong Kong to offer your securities and conduct your operations. We further note your statement that, based on the opinion of counsel, you do not believe you are "subject to cybersecurity review or reporting requirements under the applicable PRC cybersecurity laws and regulations"; please revise each instance of such language to also say that you are not covered by permissions or requirements of the CAC, if true. Also, revise your disclosure that "[s]ubstantially all of THIL’s company owned and operated stores and franchise stores" have obtained the approvals, licenses and permits that you are required to maintain in order to operate your business, to disclose whether you and your subsidiaries have received from the PRC and Hong Kong the approvals, licenses and permits that you are required to maintain in order to operate your business and offer your securities; also revise to discuss the nature and number of such approvals, licenses and permits that you and your subsidiaries have not received, if and when you anticipate receiving them, and the consequences during the time that you are operating without receiving them. Make conforming changes to your risk factors.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 6, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 46, 47, 50, 54, 56, 57, 135, 136, 137, 138 and 139 of the Revised Registration Statement. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that while it believes that, based on the opinion of its PRC legal counsel according to its interpretation of the currently in-effect PRC laws and regulations, neither the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject to cybersecurity review, reporting or other permission requirements by the CAC with respect to the offering of its securities or the operations of its subsidiaries, the Company and its subsidiaries incorporated under the laws of the PRC are still subject to the CAC’s regulatory oversight and are therefore “covered by its requirements.”

    We note that you include summary financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Please update to include the most recent financial statement period required in the filing.

    Here and on page 118, please state that THIL did not meet the 2021E projections and whether the difference between the projected and actual results is material, and provide a cross-reference to the discussion of your 2021 results of operations. Given the material lapse in time and change in circumstance since the projections were prepared in April 2021, disclose whether the projections continue to reflect management's views on future performance and what consideration the board gave to obtaining updated projections or a lack of reliance upon the projections. In this regard, we note that the board took into account such projections in its recommendation to stockholders regarding the transaction.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 83, 128, 129 and 130 of the Revised Registration Statement.

    Background of the Business Combination, page 103

    8.
    We note your amended disclosure that "Mr. Yu, representing THIL, and BofA Securities mutually agreed to terminate their engagements." Please discuss the potential impact on the transaction related to the resignation of BofA Securities and its affiliates. For example, if BofA Securities or any of its affiliates would have played a role in the closing, please revise to identify the party who will be filling such role.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 87, 88, 122 and 123 of the Revised Registration Statement.

    9.
    We note your amended disclosure that "BofA has waived its fees under the engagement letter." Please disclose any fees paid or due to BofA Securities and its affiliates in connection with their role as a financial advisor to THIL. If any of these fees will be forfeited by their May 8, 2022 resignation, please revise to disclose this information. As an example only, we note your disclosure on page 103 indicating that BofA Securities and its affiliates would have been "paid a fee equal to 2.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received by THIL in any PIPE transaction."

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 87, 112, 122, 132 and 133 of the Revised Registration Statement.

    10.
    We note your response to comment 11, as well as your amended disclosure. In addition to providing the individual fees payable to UBS, please provide the aggregate fees payable to UBS.

    Reference is made to transaction adjustment (9). Please explain why the amount disclosed in adjustment (9) does not agree to the adjustment to cash and cash equivalents on page 192.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 208 of the Revised Registration Statement to include an additional adjustment item, “NON-CURRENT ASSETS: Cash held in Collateral Account” of RMB337,677,636, under transaction adjustment (9). The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the placement agent fee payable to Alvarium MB (US) BD LLC in connection with the Equity Support Agreement pursuant to an engagement letter dated May 4, 2022 had been accounted for under the “CURRENT ASSETS: Cash and Cash Equivalent” adjustment item of RMB(35,825,844) included in Amendment No. 4 of the Registration Statement and therefore no additional adjustment on that is required for Amendment No. 5 of the Registration Statement.

    Reference is made to the last sentence on page F-59. Please revise to disclose the key inputs into the binomial lattice model for the warrants.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on page F-59 of the Revised Registration Statement. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that Silver Crest’s warrants were initially valued using a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement, but the subsequent measurement of the warrants after the initial detachment of Silver Crest’s public warrants from the units sold in its initial public offering were based on an observable market quote in an active market. Transfers from Level 3 fair value measurement to Level 1 fair value measurement and to Level 2 fair value measurement have been recognized at the end of the reporting period

    to state that, to the extent cash and/or assets in the business is in the PRC and/or Hong Kong or your PRC and/or Hong Kong entities,
    including TH Hong Kong International Limited, Tim Hortons (China) Holdings Co., Tim Hortons (Shanghai) Food and Beverage Co., Ltd.,
    such funds and/or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC and/or Hong Kong due to interventions
    in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of you or your subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer
    cash and/or assets. On the cover page, provide crossreferences to these other discussions. Last, explain what you mean by "due
    dates" in your discussion of your intent to settle amounts owed, and include a discussion of such "due dates" in the

    Please include a question and answer that explains
    why the parties amended the merger agreement to reduce the valuation of THIL from $1,688,000,000 to $1,400,000,000. Please explain
    how such agreement affects the various shareholder contingency groups. Please include a discussion of such reduction and the related

    of public shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal . . . ?, page xiii

    6.
    We note your response to comment 4, as well as
    your amended disclosure. We note that the amended ownership percentages of the sponsor and existing Silver Crest and THIL shareholders
    no longer add up to 100% prior to accounting for dilution. Please explain why or revise the chart accordingly to ensure that a complete
    picture of the company predilution is disclosed to investors. Additionally, we note that the 500,000 shares to be issued through
    a PIPE to an affiliate of the sponsor is reflected in the line item "PIPE Investors" instead of the line item "The
    Sponsor," according to your disclosures in footnotes (10) and (12). Please revise to attribute such shares to the sponsor in

in the section entitled “Holders of THIL Ordinary Shares reflecting potential sources of dilution” to include the Sponsor
PIPE Shares in the calculation, and (iii) revise the corresponding footnotes to clarify that (x) the THIL Ordinary Shares attributable
to other PIPE investors exclude the Sponsor PIPE Shares and (y) the THIL Ordinary Shares attributable to the Sponsor in the post-dilution

    8.
    We note your response to comment 6, as well as
    your disclosure that "THIL believes that it will not be subject to cybersecurity review or reporting requirements under the
    applicable PRC cybersecurity laws and regulations because it does not qualify as a critical information infrastructure operator and
    has not conducted any data processing activities that affect or may affect national security or hold personal information of more
    than one million users following the transfer of control and possession of TH China Data to DataCo." Please update the disclosure,
    and local counsel's opinion to the extent necessary, to reflect that such data has been transferred to DataCo. Additionally, please
    ensure your disclosure throughout the proxy statement/prospectus reflects that such transfer has occurred. In this regard, we note
    your disclosure that you "expect to rely significantly on DataCo" and that you "will pay a service fee
    to DataCo" (emphasis added).

    In response to the Staff’s
comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 4, 23, 37, 44 and 124 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement to further
clarify that such data has been transferred to DataCo. The Company currently relies, and expects to continue to rely, on DataCo for the
services it provides and will pay service fees to DataCo pursuant to the terms of the Business Cooperation Agreement.

    9.
    We note your response to comment 8, as well as
    your amended disclosure that "If THIL fails to receive or maintain any requisite permission or approval from the CSRC or other
    PRC regulatory authorities for the Business Combination or future offerings, or the waiver for such permission or approval, in a
    timely manner, or at all . . . ." Please revise to expand this discussion of the consequences to apply to all permissions or
    approvals from the CSRC, CAC or other PRC regulatory authorities for engaging in the Business Combination, offering your securities,
    and conducting your operations.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the
    Company has revised the disclosure on pages 22, 23, 44, 50 and 124 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    "The approval and/or other requirements . . . ",
    page 46

    10.
    We note your response to comment 12, as well
    as your amended disclosure that "the Business Combination is not subject to filing requirement under the CSRC Draft Rules (if
    enacted), because [you] initially filed the registration statement/proxy statement in connection with the Business Combination on
    September 23, 2021 and the Q&A explicitly states that the CSRC Draft Rules would not be applied retrospectively." Please
    revise your disclosure to provide a further analysis explaining why you would not be subject to the CSRC based on your initial filing
    date and the Q&A. In this regard, we note that THIL's listing has not yet occurred despite the initial filing date and therefore
    it does not appear to be retrospective in nature.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the
    Company has revised the disclosure on page 49 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    Background of the Business Combination,
    page 90

    11.
    We note your response to comment 17. Please revise
    your disclosure to clarify whether any of the PIPE Investments involve new investors with no preexisting relationships that thereby
    would generate a fee for UBS and/or BofA, or alternatively state that all of the current PIPE Investors have preexisting relationships.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the
    Company has revised the disclosure on pages 103 and 120 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    12.
    Please explain why THIL requested "Silver
    Crest's consent to increase the amount of such [permitted] financing from $30 million to $50 million." In connection therewith,
    please discuss THIL's issuance of convertible notes on December 9, 2021, the same date that Silver Crest provided its consent to
    THIL regarding such permitted financing.

    In response to the Staff’s
comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 106-108 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    13.

    We note your amended disclosure that the parties
    amended the merger agreement to remove the minimum cash closing condition. Please explain why such condition was removed, including
    which party initially proposed such removal and the related reasons or concerns for removing such condition. In revising your disclosure,
    please address how the interests of the parties evolved from the initial negotiation that accounted for "the expected cash needs
    of THIL in connection with its long-term growth plans." Please also address the extent to which the parties considered redemptions
    in negotiating such removal.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the
    Company has revised the disclosure on pages 107-112 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    14.
    We note your amended disclosure that the sponsor
    "agreed to contribute to the capital of Silver Crest for no consideration 4,312,500 Class B ordinary shares of Silver Crest
    and 4,450,000 warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares of Silver Crest." We also note that the sponsor currently owns 8,625,000
    Silver Crest Class B Shares and 8,900,000 private warrants in Silver Crest. Please revise your disclosure to state that the sponsor
    has agreed to contribute half of its equity upon closing of the business combination, if true, and explain why the sponsor has agreed
    to forfeit such equity stake in the combined company. Please discuss any negotiations between the sponsor, THIL and other interested
    parties, and include a discussion of such parties' interests, the initial contribution amounts proposed, the decision to no longer
    provide warrants to a charitable foundation and the sponsor's decision to invest additional capital in THIL through its proposed
    PIPE investment of $5,000,000 while also forfeiting certain of its sponsor shares and private placement warrants.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the
    Company has revised the disclosure on pages 110-112 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    15.
    We note your amended disclosure regarding the
    negotiation of "an additional $50,000,000 in pre-merger equity financing." Please revise your disclosure to clarify that
    this additional equity financing was in addition to the $50,000,000 of permitted financing that Silver Crest consented to on December
    9, 2021 and to clarify whether such "additional $50,000,000 in pre-merger equity financing" therefore still remains availabl

fails to receive or maintain any requisite permission or approval from the CSRC or other
PRC regulatory authorities for the Business Combination or future offerings, or the waiver
for such permission or approval, in a timely manner, or at all . . . ."  Please revise to
expand this discussion of the consequences to apply to all permissions or approvals from
the CSRC, CAC or other PRC regulatory authorities for engaging in the Business
Combination, offering your securities, and conducting your operations.

10.We note your response to comment 12, as well as your amended disclosure that "the
Business Combination is not subject to filing requirement under the CSRC Draft Rules
(if enacted), because [you] initially filed the registration statement/proxy statement in
connection with the Business Combination on September 23, 2021 and the Q&A
explicitly states that the CSRC Draft Rules would not be applied retrospectively."  Please
revise your disclosure to provide a further analysis explaining why you would not be
subject to the CSRC based on your initial filing date and the Q&A.  In this regard, we note
that THIL's listing has not yet occurred despite the initial filing date and therefore it does
not appear to be retrospective in nature.

11.We note your response to comment 17. Please revise your disclosure to clarify whether
any of the PIPE Investments involve new investors with no preexisting relationships that
thereby would generate a fee for UBS and/or BofA, or alternatively state that all of the
current PIPE Investors have preexisting relationships.
12.Please explain why THIL requested "Silver Crest's consent to increase the amount of such
[permitted] financing from $30 million to $50 million."  In connection therewith, please
discuss THIL's issuance of convertible notes on December 9, 2021, the same date
that Silver Crest provided its consent to THIL regarding such permitted financing.
13.We note your amended disclosure that the parties amended the merger agreement to
remove the minimum cash closing condition.  Please explain why such condition was
removed, including which party initially proposed such removal and the related reasons or
concerns for removing such condition.  In revising your disclosure, please address how the
interests of the parties evolved from the initial negotiation that accounted for "the
expected cash needs of THIL in connection with its long-term growth plans."  Please also
address the extent to which the parties considered redemptions in negotiating such
removal.
14.We note your amended disclosure that the sponsor "agreed to contribute to the capital of
Silver Crest for no consideration 4,312,500 Class B ordinary shares of Silver Crest and
4,450,000 warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares of Silver Crest."  We also note
that the sponsor currently owns 8,625,000 Silver Crest Class B Shares and 8,900,000
private warrants in Silver Crest.  Please revise your disclosure to state that the sponsor has
agreed to contribute half of its equity upon closing of the business combination, if true,
and explain why the sponsor has agreed to forfeit such equity stake in the combined
company.  Please discuss any negotiations between the sponsor, THIL and other interested
parties, and include a discussion of such parties' interests, the initial contribution amounts
proposed, the decision to no longer provide warrants to a charitable foundation and the
sponsor's decision to invest additional capital in THIL through its proposed PIPE
investment of $5,000,000 while also forfeiting certain of its sponsor shares and private
placement warrants.
15.We note your amended disclosure regarding the negotiation of "an additional $50,000,000
in pre-merger equity financing."  Please revise your disclosure to clarify that this
additional equity financing was in addition to the $50,000,000 of permitted financing that
Silver Crest consented to on December 9, 2021 and to clarify whether such "additional
$50,000,000 in pre-merger equity financing" therefore still remains available.  In this
regard, it appears that Silver Crest separately consented to the $50 million equity support
agreement with Shaolin Capital prior to the amendment that includes such additional
permitted financing.

16.Please provide additional discussion of the negotiation of the equity support agreement
with Shaolin and the committed equity facility with Shaolin, including a brief description
of the "issues that remained outstanding," the dates on which the agreements were
executed, and the discounts and/or premiums that THIL offered to each of such
institutional investors.  Please also disclose that such subscription amount may not exceed
the sum of shares purchased in the PIPE investment and 50% of the public shares that
have not been redeemed, and explain why.
17.Please further discuss the negotiation of the PIPE Subscription Agreements on March 9,
2022, including why THIL agreed to issue an additional 600,000 shares to each PIPE
Investor who pays at least $10,000,000.  In this regard, we note that Peter Yu, Tim
Hortons Restaurants International GmbH and TenCent Holdings Limited appear to be
receiving such consideration according to your disclosure on pages 232-3.

    1.
    We note your response to comment 1, as well as your amended disclosure on the cover page that on December 16, 2021 the PCAOB "issued a report on its determination that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong" and that "THIL’s auditors are headquartered in mainland China and the PCAOB has been and currently is unable to inspect THIL’s auditors." We reissue the comment in-part. In light of the foregoing, please disclose that your auditor is subject to the determinations announced by the  PCAOB on December 16, 2021, if true (emphasis added).

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages 23 and 54 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    Please revise the prospectus cover page to state that you may be a controlled company and therefore exempt from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of companies that are not controlled companies.

    3.
    Please revise the prospectus cover page to include the statement that you are not a Chinese operating company.

    We note your response to comment 14, as well as your amended disclosure regarding the "sensitivity table" that "shows the potential impact of redemptions on the pro forma book value per share" as well as the pro forma equity value per share that remains at $10.00 for each redemption level. We note that your analysis does not take into account "certain potential sources of dilution . . . ." Please revise your disclosure to identify these sources of dilution and to show the potential impact at each redemption level when taking into account such sources of dilution, or tell us why you are not required to do so.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages xiii, xiv and xv of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

Please also indicate in the diagram that DataCo has a contractual arrangement with Tim Hortons (China) Holdings Co., Ltd. Also revise the footnote to identify the affiliate of Cartesian Capital Management LLC that owns 75% of DataCo.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 3 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    6.
    We note your response to comment 4, as well as your amended disclosure on page 18, and we reissue the comment in-part. To provide investors with additional clarity under the "Regulatory Matters" sub-section, please briefly summarize your analysis of the applicability of the permission and/or approval requirements from the CAC, including the applicability of the new regulations that will go into effect on February 15 that will require internet platform operators holding data of more than 1 million users to undergo a network security review, as you discuss on page 37 and refer to on page 4.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 21 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    7.
    We note your response to comment 6, as well as your amended disclosure, and we reissue the comment in-part. Please disclose here that your auditor is subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021, if true (emphasis added). Additionally, in your risk factor beginning on page 50, we note your amended disclosure that the AFHCAA would, if enacted, "shorten the three-consecutive-year compliance period under the HFCAA to two consecutive years." Please also state that, as a result, the time before your securities may be prohibited from trading or delisting would be reduced.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 23 and 53 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    8.
    Under "Regulation," please revise to clarify that the consequences you describe (fines, penalties, etc.) will result if you do not receive or maintain required permissions or approvals, inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and you are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future.

    10.
    We reviewed your response to comment 10. Please tell us the adjustment amounts related to store-pre opening periods and rent-free periods as a result of COVID-19 for each period. We may have further comment.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 26, 163 and 164 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement to clarify that the rental expense adjustment does not include rent concessions related to COVID-19. The Company was granted RMB3,392,458 in lease concessions from landlords as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic for the year ended December 31, 2020, as disclosed in Note 11 to THIL’s audited historical consolidated financial statements, and has elected to treat COVID-19-related rent concessions as variable rent, which was recognized as an offset to rental expenses under the “occupancy and other operating expenses” item in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

    11.
    We reviewed your response to comment 11. Please tell us if the input VAT refund line item reflects all VAT statement of operations activity including VAT paid or payable. If not, please explain why. Please also tell us whether any of the VAT refund is required to be refunded to your suppliers.

    You state that the Business Combination will not be subject to the CSRC Draft Rules because you publicly filed the registration statement on September 23, 2021. Please clarify whether this conclusion remains accurate in the event your securities are not yet listed on Nasdaq if and when the CSRC Draft Rules are adopted and, if so, why.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 46 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

Please describe such permission here and in appropriate places throughout the proxy statement/prospectus to the extent that you deem such alternative logo to be material.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comments and respectfully advises the Staff that the permission from RBI for Tims China to design the alternative logo was given verbally. In addition, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 144 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comments.

    Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, page 171

    14.
    We note your response to comment 12, as well as your amended disclosure on pages xviii, 10 and 81 that highlights the ownership interests of the holders of THIL ordinary shares reflecting potential sources of dilution. Please make conforming changes to your chart on page 171 to reflect such ownership interests. Additionally, we note certain discrepancies between such charts. For example, the shares underlying the granted option shares and restricted shares is 9,432,822 on page 171 but 9,068,537 on pages xviii, 10 and 80, and the charts on pages xviii, 10 and 80 additionally now take into account the note holders. Please tell us why such ownership presentations vary here or revise to ensure consistency throughout the proxy statement/prospectus.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company will revise disclosures in the next amendment to the Revised Draft Registration Statement, where the pro forma financial information will be based on the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2021.

    15.
    We note your amended disclosure on page xiv that includes a placeholder for the per share pro forma book value of THIL ordinary shares outstanding at closing, as well as your reference to the section entitled "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information" for disclosure regarding such per share pro forma book value. Please tell us how such section discusses the per share pro forma book value, as we note that the discussion and accompanying financial information only include the loss per share.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company will revise disclosures in the next amendment to the Revised Draft Registration Statement, where the pro forma financial information will be based on the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2021.

    Taxation

    Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations, page 192

    16.
    Please revise to state that the disclosure in this section is the opinion of Morrison & Foerster LLP, as opposed to a summary of tax consequences. In addition, revise statements in this section regarding what the tax consequences "should" be to describe the degree of uncertainty of such opinions and explain why counsel cannot give a "will" opinion. As examples only, we note statements such as "a U.S. Holder generally should not recognize gain or loss," the tax basis "should be equal," a "U.S. Holder should expect all cash distributions." Revise Exhibit 8.1 to delete the reference to the disclosure in this section being a summary of tax consequences ("insofar as such statements summarize U.S. federal income tax law or legal conclusions with respect thereto"). In addition, revise paragraph (b)(1) of Exhibit 8.1 to exclude the company from your assumptions regarding due execution and delivery, as well as requisite corporate power and authority. Refer to Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 198, 200, 202 and 203 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement and Exhibit 8.1 to the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

restricted shares is 9,432,822 on page 171 but 9,068,537 on pages xviii, 10 and 80, and the
charts on pages xviii, 10 and 80 additionally now take into account the note holders.
Please tell us why such ownership presentations vary here or revise to ensure consistency
throughout the proxy statement/prospectus.
15.We note your amended disclosure on page xiv that includes a placeholder for the per share
pro forma book value of THIL ordinary shares outstanding at closing, as well as your
reference to the section entitled "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial
Information" for disclosure regarding such per share pro forma book value.  Please tell us
how such section discusses the per share pro forma book value, as we note that the
discussion and accompanying financial information only include the loss per share.
Taxation
Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations, page 192
16.Please revise to state that the disclosure in this section is the opinion of Morrison
& Foerster LLP, as opposed to a summary of tax consequences. In addition, revise
statements in this section regarding what the tax consequences "should" be to describe the
degree of uncertainty of such opinions and explain why counsel cannot give a "will"
opinion. As examples only, we note statements such as "a U.S. Holder generally should
not recognize gain or loss," the tax basis "should be equal," a "U.S. Holder should expect
all cash distributions."  Revise Exhibit 8.1 to delete the reference to the disclosure in this
section being a summary of tax consequences ("insofar as such statements summarize
U.S. federal income tax law or legal conclusions with respect thereto").  In addition, revise
paragraph (b)(1) of Exhibit 8.1 to exclude the company from your assumptions regarding
due execution and delivery, as well as requisite corporate power and authority.  Refer to
Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19.
General
17.We note the communication filed pursuant to Rule 425 on December 13, 2021, in which
you disclose that you raised money "from a leading global asset manager," that such
"[unnamed] investor also committed to so-called PIPE fundraising," and that "[s]everal
current investors, including affiliates of Sequoia Capital China and Eastern Bell Capital,
also commit[ted] to PIPE funding."  In connection therewith, please:

•Quantify the aggregate fees on page 93 that are payable to UBS upon completion of
the business combination when taking into account the amount of such committed
financing.  In this regard, we note that your amended disclosure in response to
comment 15 quantifies the aggregate fees in the event of a hypothetical PIPE
financing.

•Include a description of the proposed PIPE investments in appropriate
places throughout the proxy statement/prospectus and file the related form of
investment agreement, form of Private Note and form of Note as exhibits to the
registration statement.

•Update the relevant beneficial ownership tables in your section entitled "Beneficial
Ownership of Securities" as appropriate to reflect the securities to be held as a result
of the PIPE financing, including by the additional PIPE investors and by your
"current investors, including affiliates of Sequoia Capital China Eastern Bell
Capital."  In this regard, we note that the table and footnotes on page 227 do not
indicate any change in ownership of SCC Growth VI Holdco D, Ltd. and Eastern Bell
International XXVI Limited.

•To the extent that any investors, including the additional PIPE investors, will own
more than 5% of the combined company following the business combination, please
also update the relevant beneficial ownership table.  In this regard, please clarify
whether the additional PIPE investors are the same as your convertible note holders.
Additionally, explain why you have excluded from the third table in this section the
securities identified in (i)-(v) on page 227. In this regard, it appears that the holders of
the $50 million in convertible notes could own an equivalent amount of shares at
closing if they elect to convert, and the warrants for THIL Ordinary Shares will be
exercisable within 60 days of closing.

On
behalf of our client, TH International Limited (the “Company”), a foreign private issuer incorporated under
the laws of the Cayman Islands, we are submitting to the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
this letter setting forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the Staff’s letter dated January 5,
2021 on the Company’s revised draft registration statement on Form F-4 publicly filed on December 2, 2021 relating to a proposed
business combination (the “Draft Registration Statement”). Concurrently with the submission of this letter,
the Company is filing its revised draft registration statement on Form F-4 (the “Revised Draft Registration Statement”)
and certain exhibits thereto via EDGAR to the Commission for review pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act. Simultaneously
with the filing via EDGAR, the Company is delivering to the staff via hand delivery five courtesy copies of this letter and the Revised

    Please disclose whether your auditor is subject to the determinations
    announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021 and whether and how the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and related regulations
    will affect your company.

    In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised
    the disclosure on the cover page and pages 50 and 51 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

Summary, page 1

    2.
    Reference is made to
    your disclosure of adjusted store EBITDA on page 2 and elsewhere in the filing. Throughout your filing, when referencing adjusted
    store EBITDA, please  disclose in equal or greater prominence a fully-burdened gross profit prepared in accordance with
    GAAP. Refer to Item 10(e)(1)(i)(A) of Regulation S-K.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company
has revised the disclosure on pages 2 and 126 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    3.
    We note your response to comment 4, as well as your amended
    disclosure in the "Corporate Structure" sub-section. In addition:

    • Please revise your disclosure to state that this
    is the post-business combination corporate structure and not THIL's current corporate structure as of the date of the proxy statement/prospectus.
    In this regard, we note your disclosure that the "diagram illustrates THIL’s corporate structure as of the date of [the]
    proxy statement/prospectus," but the diagram includes the post-business combination structure, as it includes the separate interests
    of the sponsor and Silver Crest public shareholders.

    • Please revise your diagram to also include the contractual
    arrangement between Hortons (China) Holdings Co., Ltd. and Pangaea Data Tech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. ("DataCo"). In connection
    therewith, please describe the relevant Business Cooperation Agreement, as you do on pages 125 and 126 of the proxy statement/prospectus.
    Please also discuss any uncertainties regarding such arrangement, as we note your disclosure on page 34 that you do not expect to
    "be subject to…cybersecurity review or reporting requirements…because [you] will not collect, store, or process
    more than one million users following the anticipated transfer of control and possession of [y]our customer data to DataCo."

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company
has revised the disclosure on pages 3 and 4 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    4.
    We note your response
    to comment 5, as well as your amended disclosure throughout the risk factors, and we re-issue the comment. In this summary section,
    please summarize your analysis of the applicability of the permission and/or approval requirements from the CSRC, CAC or any other
    entity that is required to approve of THIL’s operations. Please state affirmatively whether THIL has received all requisite
    permissions and whether any permissions have been denied, and include in such discussion the approvals discussed on page 30.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company
has revised the disclosure on page 18 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    5.
    We note your response
    to comment 6, as well as your amended disclosure that "THHK has transferred an aggregate of S$117.0 million in cash to Tim Hortons
    (China) Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Tim Hortons China”) and Tim Hortons (Shanghai) Food and Beverage Co., Ltd. as capital injections."
    In addition to including such aggregate amount, please quantify the amount that has been transferred to each of Tim Hortons China
    and Tim Hortons (Shanghai) Food and Beverage Co., Ltd. Please also quantify any dividends and capital expenses that have been paid,
    or state that none have been paid.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company
has revised the disclosure on pages 4 and 5 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    6.
    We note your response
    to comment 9, as well as your amended disclosure that "THIL’s auditor is currently not, and has not been, subject to inspections
    by the PCAOB." Please revise your statement in appropriate places to clarify that the PCAOB has been and currently is unable
    to inspect your auditor (emphasis added). Please also disclose whether your auditor is subject to the determination announced by
    the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. Additionally, in your risk factor beginning on page 45, please update your disclosure to reflect
    that the Commission adopted rules to implement the HFCAA and that, pursuant to the HFCAA, the PCAOB has issued its report notifying
    the Commission of its determination that it is unable to inspect or  investigate completely accounting firms headquartered
    in mainland China or Hong Kong. In this regard, we note that your disclosure references the rules adopted on March 24, 2021 as the
    latest update regarding the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. Finally, please state in your risk factor discussion of the
    Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies  Accountable Act that, if the Act is enacted and the number of non-inspection years
    is decreased from three years to two years, the time before your securities may be prohibited from trading or delisting would be
    reduced.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company
has revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages 20, 50 and 51 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

Summary Risk Factors, page 14

    7.
    We note your revisions
    in response to comment 8. Please further revise to clarify that the Chinese government's exertion of more control over offerings
    conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could result in a material change in THIL's operations and/or
    the value of THIL's common stock.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company
has revised the disclosure on page 18, 19 and 41 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

Summary Consolidated Financial Information of THIL

Non-GAAP Financial Measure, page 18

    8.
    We read your response
    to our comment 10 and note your revised disclosure. Since this adjustment has the effect of accelerating revenue recognition for
    purposes of the non-GAAP measure, it does not comply with Rule 100(b) of Regulation G. Please revise your disclosure accordingly.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company
has revised the disclosure on pages 23 and 156 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    9.
    We reviewed your response
    and revisions in response to comment 11. It appears that a fully-burdened gross profit is the most comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted
    Store EBITDA. When reconciling to this non-GAAP measure throughout your filing, please reconcile from a fully-burdened gross profit.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company
has revised the disclosure on pages 23 and 156 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

    10.
    Reference is made to
    the non-cash rental adjustment. By making this adjustment you appear to be substituting an individually tailored recognition and
    measurement method to record cash paid for rentals instead of GAAP rent expense which appears to be prohibited by Question 100.04
    of the Staff’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations on Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Accordingly, please tell us why your
    presentation isn't prohibited or revise to remove this adjustment.

In
response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 23 and 156 of the Revised Draft Registration
Statement. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the non-cash rental adjustment primarily consists of rental expenses
recognized under US. GAAP, using straight-line recognition, and that this non-cash rental adjustment provides management and investors
with a more meaningful and reliable presentation about the performance of the Company’s revenue-generating activities and the profitability
of its operations, therefore enhancing the comparability of the Company’s results of operations from period to period Therefore,
the Company believes that is not substituting an individually tailored recognition and measurement method for a GAAP measure and that
the current presentation is in compliance with Question 100.04 of the Staff’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations on Non-GAAP
Financial Measures.

    11.
    Please explain the input
    VAT refund adjustment to us in detail and explain why the adjustment is not prohibited.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the input VAT refund adjustment represents refunds of input VAT from local tax authorities.
The Company’s procurement of materials generally involves higher input VAT rates than the Company’s output VAT rate upon sales,
thus the Company has accumulated much higher “creditable input VAT” than “VAT payable” and expects that this trend
will continue. As the input VAT refunds from the local tax authorities have helped alleviate the Company’s VAT burden on material
procurement and improve the Company’s cash flow, the input VAT refund adjustment provides management and investors with a more meaningful
presentation about the performance of the Company’s business activities. Therefore, the Company believes that it is not substituting
an individually tailored recognition and measurement method for a GAAP measure and that the current presentation is not prohibited.

and voting interest after

consummation of the Business Combination . . . .", page 57

    12.
    We note your response to comment 15, as well as your amended
    disclosure. We reissue the comment in-part. In particular, please:

    • Revise your disclosure to note that such scenario
    includes the 1,400,000 earn-in shares to be held by the sponsor, if true, in addition to your statement that you are including the
    14,000,000 earn-out shares to potentially be issued to existing THIL shareholders.

    • In this regard, we note that if the combined company
    does not meet the share closing price conditions discussed on page 159 and 160, then the existing THIL shareholders would not earn
    14 million shares but the sponsor would only forfeit 1.4 million shares. As a result, the sponsor's ownership percentage in the combined
    company would be greater than the interests held by the existing THIL shareholders, in the event in which the target price conditions
    are not met. To provide investors with this context, please disclose the corresponding potential ownership interests in this scenario
    for each of the existing THIL shareholders, the existing Silver Crest shareholders (excluding the sponsor), and the sponsor.

    • Separate the interests held by the Silver Crest public
    shareholders from the sponsor when discussing the ownership of the combined company throughout the prospectus. In this regard, we
    note that the ownership table on page 160 presents their ownership on a combined basis.

    • Regarding the table on page 160, provide the ownership
    interests of each of the Silver Crest public shareholders, the sponsor and the existing THIL shareholders when including the earn-out
    shares and the shares underling both the options, restricted share units and warrants. Provide such ownership interests in the chart
    on page xvi as well.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company
has revised the disclosure on pages xvii, xviii, xix, 9, 10, 11, 62, 63, 79, 80, 81, 82, and 171 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

"Pangaea Two Acquisition Holdings XXIIB Limited, an existing
shareholder of THIL, will have over 50% equity interest . . . ", page 58

    13.
    We note your response to comment 16, as well as your new
    risk factor. In particular, please:

    • Revise your heading to identify Peter Yu, the Chairman
    and Managing Partner of Cartesian, instead of Pangea Two Acquisition Holdings XXIIB Limited, which we note is the entity that holds
    the separate equity interests of Cartesian, Tencent, Sequoia China and Eastern Bell.

    • Provide the percentage of shares that would need
    to be redeemed by Silver Crest public shareholders to trigger the 50% control threshold. In this regard, we note that you refer to
    a scenario of "maximum redemption" in your heading. As Peter Yu will own 53.6% of the outstanding shares of the combined
    company assuming maximum redemption, we note that he will still have a majority control at certain redemption percentage below a
    maximum redemption scenario.

    • Prominently state Peter Yu's potential majority ownership
    in the beginning of your risk factor discussion instead of at the end, and include both the redemption percentage noted above as
    well as the control percentage assuming no redemptions, to provide investors context regarding the range of ownership scenarios.

    • Here and on the prospectus cover page, describe that
    through Peter Yu's potential majority ownership of your company, he would have the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted
    to stockholders for approval, including the appointment or removal of directors.

Registration Statement on Form F-4 filed September 23,
2021

Prospectus Cover Page, page i

 1. We note your disclosure that "THIL has significant operations in China through its PRC subsidiaries" and that the
related legal and operational risks could "significantly limit or completely hinder THIL’s ability to accept foreign investments
and offer or continue to offer securities to foreign investors . . . ."  Please also disclose that THIL, which will be the post-business
combination company, is not a Chinese company but a Cayman Islands holding company and that THIL's post-business combination structure involves
unique risks to investors.  Additionally, please disclose the extent that such risks could limit or hinder THIL's ability to conduct
its business or list on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. Specifically state that the "increasing oversight on cybersecurity and
data privacy" and "potential anti-monopoly actions" are related to the Chinese government's recently issued statements
and instituted regulatory actions.  Please also disclose here and elsewhere as appropriate, such as in the Questions and Answers
section, Summary and Risk Factors, that THIL will control the combined company and its board, and provide the percentage ownership of
THIL and Silver Crest after consummation of the business combination.

In
response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages xv, xvi,
xvii, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 57, 58, 59, 72, 73, 74 and 79 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement. The Company respectfully advises
the Staff that, unlike many China-based companies that are listed in the U.S. through a Cayman Islands holding company, THIL does
not have a VIE structure and, as a result, is not subject to the related risks.

Questions and Answers about the Business Combination and the Extraordinary
General Meeting Q: What will happen to Silver Crest's securities upon consummation of the Business Combination?, page viii

has revised the disclosure on pages 2 and 3 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement. The Company respectfully advises the
Staff that THIL does not have any equity interest in DataCo and has not entered into any contractual arrangement with DataCo as of
the date of this submission. The Company has revised the disclosure on pages 125 and 126 of the Revised Draft Registration
Statement to describe the contemplated contractual arrangement with DataCo.

 5. Disclose each permission that THIL or its subsidiaries are required to obtain from Chinese authorities to operate and issue
THIL's securities to foreign investors.  State whether THIL or its subsidiaries are covered by permissions requirements from the
CSRC, CAC or any other entity that is required to approve of THIL’s operations, and state affirmatively whether THIL has received

Summary
Risk Factors, page 10

 8. We note your summary risk factors in connection with the risks associated with doing business in China.  Please revise
your disclosure to provide a more robust summary of the significant regulatory, liquidity and enforcement risks with cross-references
to the more detailed discussion of these risks in the proxy statement/prospectus.  Particularly, in connection with your disclosure
that the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations "involve significant uncertainties, as the PRC legal system
is evolving rapidly," please disclose that such laws and regulations can change quickly with little advance notice and make conforming
changes to your risk factor on page 31 discussing the same.  In connection with your disclosure regarding "PRC governmental
authorities' significant oversight and discretion," please disclose that such authorities may intervene or influence THIL's
operations at any time and make conforming changes to your risk factor on page 30 discussing the same.  Please also discuss
here and in your risk factors the risk that the Chinese government may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign
investment in China-based issuers, which could result in a material change in THIL's operations and/or the value of THIL's common stock.
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.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has
revised the disclosure on pages 15,  16,  37, 38 and 39 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

Statement.

Summary Consolidated Financial Information of THIL Non-GAAP Financial
Measure, page 12

 10. Reference is made to adjustment (4) related to deferred revenue.  Please explain this adjustment to us in further
detail.  In addition, please tell us how you considered whether you are substituting an individually tailored recognition and measurement
method for a GAAP measure.  Refer to Question 100.04 of the Non-GAAP Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations and Rule 100(b) of
Regulation G.

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company
has revised the disclosure on pages 18, 19, 146 and 147 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the Company
operates a loyalty program that allows registered members to earn points for each qualifying purchase, which generally expire 12 months
after being earned and may be credited towards purchases of products in our company owned and operated stores for free or at a discounted
price. The Company defers revenue associated with the estimated selling price of the points earned as contract liabilities and subsequently
recognizes revenue when the points are redeemed or expired. Deferred revenue is a non-cash item, and its amount is usually immaterial
and is dependent on management’s judgement. As such, the Company believes that the adjustment of deferred revenue provides management
and investors with a more meaningful and reliable presentation about the performance of its revenue-generating activities and the profitability
of its operations, therefore enhancing the comparability of its results of operations from period to period. Therefore, the Company believes
that it is not substituting an individually tailored recognition and measurement method for a GAAP measure and that the current presentation
is in compliance with Question 100.04 of the Non-GAAP Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations and Rule 100(b) of Regulation
G.

warrant agreement, including increased costs to bring a claim and the potential that the provision will discourage claims or
limit investors’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable.  In addition, address whether
there is any question as to whether a court would enforce the provision; in this regard, we note that Section 22 of the Securities
Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the
Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.  Finally, please revise the amended and restated warrant agreement to
state that it applies to claims arising under the Securities Act.

In response
to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 47 and 48 of the Revised Draft Registration
Statement. In addition, please note that the amended and restated warrant agreement will be revised to state that it applies to
claims arising under the Securities Act.

16.Here or in a new risk factor, please prominently disclose the risks related to the fact, if
true, that the combined company will be majority-owned by Cartesian, including that
Cartesian will have the authority to approve shareholder actions such as the election of
directors. In this regard, we note that Mr. Yu, the Managing Partner of Cartesian and
Chairman of your board, has voting and investment control over Pangea Two Acquisition
Holdings XXIIA Limited; we further note the disclosure in Note 19 to the financial
statements.  Please include this disclosure -- including Cartesian's percentage ownership
assuming no and full redemption, and the fact that your directors and officers have control
of and involvement in Cartesian -- on the prospectus cover page and in the Summary.   If
you would be considered a “controlled company” under your applicable exchange listing
standards, please disclose this on the prospectus cover page and in the Summary, discuss
whether you will utilize any related exemptions to governance rules, and include
appropriate risk factor disclosure.

17.Please quantify the aggregate fees payable to UBS Securities LLC upon completion of a
business combination.  We note that, in addition to the deferred underwriting fee, UBS
Securities LLC is performing additional services as capital markets advisor to Silver Crest
in connection with the proposed business combination and as joint placement agent in
connection with potential PIPE transactions.  In revising your disclosure, please also
clarify whether the fees pertaining to their additional services are conditioned on
completion of the transaction.

detail about the roles that FTI Consulting (Hong Kong) Limited and UBS Securities LLC
played in the financial due diligence of THIL.  Please also tell us whether the advisors
delivered any reports to the board or potential PIPE investors that were materially related
to the transaction and whether these would fall within the purview of Item 4(b) of Form F-
4 (including the investor presentation circulated by Bank of America to THIL and UBS).
If so, please revise your disclosure to state as much and provide the information required
by Item 4(b) of Form F-4.
19.Please discuss which legal counsel advised Silver Crest with respect to their discussions
with Company A and other potential targets, which we note began prior to the engagement
of Morrison & Foerster LLP on February 3, 2021. In addition, we note that Silver Crest's
current charter waives the corporate opportunities doctrine; please address this potential
conflict of interest and whether it impacted Silver Crest's search for an acquisition target.
20.We note your disclosure that "Silver Crest agreed to donate 1,500,000 of its Silver Crest
Warrants to a charitable foundation."  Please provide a more robust discussion here of the
agreement, the warrants (including whether they will be private or public and whether
they will be newly issued), the anticipated donation date, the receiving foundation and
whether it is aware of the impending donation, and the reasons for such donation
(including any anticipated tax treatment, if applicable).
21.We note your discussion of the negotiations leading up to the agreed-upon "$1.688 billion
pre-transaction enterprise valuation for THIL."  Please revise to provide more detail
regarding the negotiations and board considerations, including a further description of the
"softer market conditions," the amount of Silver Crest's initial counter-proposal, the
"conditions that would contribute to a positive reception in the market," the financial
projections and any discussions relating to the assumptions
