Please revise your prospectus summary and the corresponding risk factor on page 13 to expressly acknowledge the 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 offeror continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. In addition, revise your prospectus summary and the corresponding risk factor on page 17 to state that the Chinese government may intervene or influence your operations at any time.
