Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2024 Item 3. Key Information D. Risk Factors Risks Related to Doing Business in China The PRC government's significant oversight over..., page 55 1. We note the changes you made to your disclosure in this risk factor. It is unclear to us that there have been changes in the regulatory environment in the PRC since Form 20- F for the year ended December 31, 2022 that was filed on April 28, 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 given the Chinese government's significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of your business. We do not believe that your revised disclosure that the PRC government has significant oversight over the conduct of your business and may May 8, 2025 Page 2 influence your operations conveys the same risk. Please restore your disclosure in your future filings as it existed in Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022. Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects A.

Please provide a more detailed analysis and discussion of changes in operating, investing, and financing cash flows for each period presented in future filings.

Ensure that your disclosures are not merely a recitation of changes evident from the financial statements. Refer to Item 5.B.1 of Form 20-F and Section IV.B of SEC Release No. 33-8350. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 26. Related Party Balances and Transactions, page F-57 4.
