Dear Bin Zhou:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the
following
comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
information so we
may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration
statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your
facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell
us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and
the information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments.
Unless we note
otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our
December 9, 2022, letter.
Amendment No. 4 to Form S-3
General
1. Your response to prior
comment 1 does not address our comment and we reissue the
comment. Please add the
following disclosure regarding operating permissions or
approvals:
Disclose each
permission or approval that you, your subsidiaries, your WFOE, and/or
your VIEs are
required to obtain from Chinese authorities (including Hong Kong
authorities) to
operate your business.
State
affirmatively whether you have received all requisite operating permissions or

approvals and whether any permissions or approvals have been denied.
Describe the consequences to you and your investors if you, your
subsidiaries,
WFOE, or the VIEs: (i) do not receive or maintain such operating
permissions or
approvals, (ii) inadvertently conclude that such operating
permissions or approvals
are not required, or (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or
interpretations change and
you are required to obtain such operating permissions or approvals
in the future.
If your revised disclosure indicates no operating permissions or
approvals are
required from Chinese authorities (including Hong Kong authorities),
then
additionally disclose how you determined this. If you relied on
counsel, identify
counsel and file an exhibit. If you did not consult counsel, provide
an explanation as
to why you did not consult counsel. Please expand or revise related
risk factors as
appropriate.
2. We note revised disclosure on page 7 that indicates one of your three
VIEs, Anhui
Ansheng, was terminated as of December 16, 2022. Please update your
disclosure
throughout to reflect this termination; for example, and without
limitation, the statement
that, "As of the date of this prospectus, we currently have three VIEs
under its structure:
(1) Jilin Chuangyuan, (2) Anhui Ansheng, and (3) Xiangtian Energy . . .
." Additionally
update Exhibit 21.1 to reflect your current structure.
3. We note the change in your auditor reported on the Form 8-K filed on
December 20,
2022. Please revise accountant-specific disclosure to refer both to your
prior auditor and
to your current auditor. For instance, and without limitation, disclose
whether your
current auditor (in addition to your past auditor) is subject to the
determinations
announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021.
Please contact Jennifer Angelini at 202-551-3047 or Jay Ingram at

any questions.
