       Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed May 24, 2024

       General

   1.                                                   We note your response
to prior comment one, including your added disclosure that:

                                                        "Based on the opinion
of our PRC legal counsel, solely for purpose of registration of up to
                                                        1,190,297 Common Shares
issuable from the exercise of the Warrants for resale as
                                                        described in this
prospectus (the "Warrant Shares Resale Registration"), we are not
                                                        required to complete
the CSRC filing procedures and obtain the CSRC approval under the
                                                        Trial Measures, because
the Warrant Shares Resale Registration does not involve issuance
                                                        of new securities of
our Company in addition to those previously included in our filing
                                                        with the CSRC on
February 26, 2024 for the issuance of the Warrants in connection with
                                                        the February 2024
Registered Offering. We may be required to report to, or file with, the

      CSRC when, and if, the Common Shares underlying the Warrants are issued
upon
      exercise of the Warrants by holders of the Warrants in the future, and
the Company
      undertakes that it will correspond with the CSRC in advance of such
occasions about the
      applicable reporting or filing procedures and requirements and will then
follow these
      procedures and requirements as instructed by the CSRC."

      Please revise to better explain why you believe you may be required to
file with the CSRC
      in the future. In this regard we note that the first sentence of your
disclosure above
      indicates that the CSRC would not treat this offering as a new issuance
of securities, but
      the second sentence suggests that it might. To the extent you do believe
you may be
      required to file with the CSRC in the future, please clarify how you will
advise investors
      in this offering of any CSRC review. Also, to the extent you have made,
and will make,
      revisions to your disclosure on the cover and at page 23, please
similarly make revisions
      under your subheading "CSRC Filing Requirements" at page 7.
      Please contact Liz Packebusch, Staff Attorney, at 202-551-8749 or Daniel
Morris, Legal
Branch Chief, at 202-551-3314 with any questions.
