Form 20-F for the Year Ended December 31, 2023 Introduction, page 1 1. We note that you have excluded Hong Kong and Macau from your definition of "China" or "PRC" for the purpose of your annual report, yet it appears that you have Hong Kong subsidiaries. Please remove the exclusion of Hong Kong and Macau from such definition and clarify that the legal and operational risks associated with operating in China also apply to operations in Hong Kong/Macau. In this regard, ensure that your disclosure does not narrow risks related to operating in the PRC to mainland China only. Where appropriate, you may describe PRC law and then explain how law in Hong Kong/Macau differs from PRC law and describe any risks and consequences to the Company associated with those laws.
