Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

On behalf of our client, Eastern International Ltd, a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of Cayman Islands (the “Company”, “We” or “Our”), we are submitting this letter and the following information in response to a letter, dated June 24, 2024, from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the Company’s Confidential Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Draft Registration Statement”) submitted to the Commission on March 22, 2024, amended on June 12, 2024. We are also electronically transmitting for confidential submission an amended version of the Draft Registration Statement (the “Amended Draft Registration Statement”).

 

To facilitate your review, we have separately delivered to you a courtesy copy of the Amended Draft Registration Statement, marked to show changes to the Draft Registration Statement.

 

The Staff’s comments are repeated below in bold and are followed by the Company’s responses. We have included page references in the Amended Draft Registration Statement where the language addressing a particular comment appears. Capitalized terms used in this letter but otherwise not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Amended Draft Registration Statement.

 

In addition to revising the disclosure in response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has also included other information and data to reflect recent developments.

We note your response to prior comment 7, including added disclosure that, among your executive officers and directors, Albert Wong, Ching Hei Li, Chung Leung Cheung, Lin Tan, Chun Pong (Colman) Chiu and Shiu Wing Joseph Chow are residents of Hong Kong or China. Please revise to clarify which individuals are located in China, and which are located in Hong Kong. Please also include a separate sub-section addressing the enforceability of civil liabilities in Hong Kong and revise your related risk factor at page 28 accordingly.
