Amendment No. 2 to
Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1
Submitted September
1, 2023
CIK No. 0001979887
Dear Yifei Hou:
We have reviewed your amended draft registration statement and
have the following
comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
information so we
may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by providing the requested
information and either submitting
an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your
registration statement on
EDGAR. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and
circumstances or do not
believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing the information you provide in response to these
comments and your
amended draft registration statement or filed registration statement, we
may have additional
comments.
Amendment No. 2 to Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 submitted
September 1, 2023
General
1. We note the changes you
made to your disclosure appearing on the cover page, Summary
and Risk Factor
sections relating to legal and operational risks associated with operating
in China and PRC
regulations. It is unclear to us that there have been changes in the
regulatory environment
in the PRC since the amendment that was submitted on July 26,
2023 warranting revised
disclosure to mitigate the challenges you face and related
disclosures. The Sample
Letters to China-Based Companies sought specific disclosure
relating to the risk
that the PRC government may intervene in or influence your operations
at any time, or may
exert control over operations of your business, which could result in a
material change in your
operations and/or the value of the securities you are registering

for sale. We remind you that, pursuant to federal securities rules,
the term control
(including the terms controlling, controlled by, and
under common control with ) as
defined in Securities Act Rule 405 means the possession, direct or
indirect, of the power
to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a
person, whether
through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.
The Sample
Letters also sought specific disclosures relating to uncertainties
regarding the enforcement
of laws and that the rules and regulations in China can change quickly
with little advance
notice. We do not believe that your revised disclosure conveys the
same risk. Please
restore your disclosures in these areas to the disclosures as they
existed in the registration
statement as of the July 26, 2023 submission.
Capitalization, page 47
2. Please revise your capitalization table to reflect the company's
indebtedness as of the most
recent balance sheet date. In this regard, we note short-term bank
borrowings on the face
of your balance sheet in the amount of $4,497,772 as of June 30, 2023.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Overview, page 60
3. Please revise to include a discussion of any known material events
that are reasonably
likely to cause reported financial information not to be necessarily
indicative of future
operating results or of future financial condition. In this regard,
include a quantified
discussion of the additional amount of share-based compensation
expense related to the
150,000,000 ordinary shares granted and vested in August 2023 which
has not been
reflected in your historical financial statements. Refer to Item
303(a) of Regulation S-K.
Note 18. Subsequent Events
(b) Issuance of Convertible Notes and Warrants, page F-35
4. We note your subsequent events disclosure that in August 2023, the
Company issued
warrants to investors A and B on pages F-35 and F-51. On page 134,
warrants also appear
to be issued to investor C. Please explain why it is not necessary to
disclose the warrants
issued to investor C as part of the subsequent events disclosures on
pages F-35 and F-51
or revise. Also revise to disclose on pages F-35 and F-51 that the

5. Please revise your subsequent events footnote to quantify the
financial statement impact
of any awards granted after balance sheet date. In this regard, we
note from your
disclosure included on page 47 that unrecognized share-based
compensation expense of
$7,457,000 related to the vesting of 150,000,000 ordinary shares under
the 2023 share
incentive plan will be recognized in August 2023. As part of your
