       Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2021

       General

   1.                                                   With a view toward
disclosure, please tell us whether your sponsor is, is controlled by, or
                                                        has substantial ties
with a non-U.S. person. If so, please revise your disclosure in future
                                                        filings to include
disclosure that addresses how this fact could impact your ability to
                                                        complete your initial
business combination. For instance, discuss the risk to investors that
                                                        you may not be able to
complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target
                                                        company should the
transaction be subject to review by a U.S. government entity, such as
                                                        the Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately
                                                        prohibited. Disclose
that as a result, the pool of potential targets with which you could
                                                        complete an initial
business combination may be limited. Further, disclose that the time
                                                        necessary for
government review of the transaction or a decision to prohibit the
                                                        transaction could
prevent you from completing an initial business combination and require

         you to liquidate. Disclose the consequences of liquidation to
investors, such as the losses
         of the investment opportunity in a target company, any price
appreciation in the combined
         company, and the warrants, which would expire worthless. Please
include an example of
         your intended disclosure in your response.
        We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence of
action by the staff.
