+Added: However, if the

+Added: The inability of the PCAOB to conduct
+Added: inspections of auditors in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of these accounting firms’ audit procedures

+Added: and listed overseas or meets the following conditions is a stock enterprise:
+Added: Before the implementation date of the “Management Trial Measures”, the application for indirect overseas issuance and listing has been approved by an overseas regulatory authority

+Added: Effective measures, such as promoting the construction
