+Added: Planet Green Holdings Corp.
+Added: “Planet Green”), headquartered in Flushing, NY, is not an operating company in the PRC but a Nevada holding company with
+Added: its operations conducted through its subsidiaries in the PRC, U.S., Hong Kong and Canada (the “Subsidiaries”) and
+Added: through contractual arrangements with its variable interest entity, Jilin Chuanyuan (the “VIE”), which is a company
+Added: incorporated in the PRC.
+Added: Planet Green is engaged in a number of diverse business activities, including consumer products, chemical
+Added: products, and online advertising and mobile game.
+Added: The VIE is consolidated for accounting purpose only and Planet Green does not
+Added: own any equity interest in the VIE.
+Added: Investors may never directly hold equity interests in the VIE.
+Added: The VIE structure is used to
+Added: provide investors with exposure to foreign investment in China-based companies where Chinese law prohibits or limits direct foreign
+Added: investment in the operating companies.
+Added: However, our contractual arrangements with the VIE are not equivalent of an investment in
+Added: Investors of our securities thus are not purchasing equity interest in the VIE and their subsidiaries in China but
+Added: instead are purchasing equity interest in a Nevada holding company.
+Added: Such VIE arrangement is not identical to owning such entities
+Added: directly, and investors will own shares in a holding company with contracts with the VIE and will not have any equity ownership of
+Added: such VIE itself.
+Added: The VIE arrangement may not be as effective as direct ownership in providing us with control over the VIE.
+Added: Direct ownership would allow us, for example, to directly or indirectly exercise our rights as a shareholder to effect changes in
+Added: the boards of directors, which, in turn, could affect changes, subject to any applicable fiduciary obligations at the management
+Added: However, under the VIE arrangement, as a legal matter, if the VIE or its shareholders fail to perform their respective
+Added: obligations under the VIE arrangement, we may have to incur substantial costs and expend significant resources to enforce those
+Added: arrangements and resort to litigation or arbitration and rely on legal remedies under PRC laws.
+Added: These remedies may include seeking
+Added: specific performance or injunctive relief and claiming damages, any of which may not be effective.
+Added: In the event we are unable to
+Added: enforce these VIE Agreements or we experience significant delays or other obstacles in the process of enforcing the VIE arrangement,
+Added: we may lose control over the assets owned by the VIE.
+Added: Our corporate structure is subject to risks relating
+Added: to our contractual arrangements with our VIE and its shareholders.
+Added: Such contractual arrangements have not been tested in any of the
+Added: There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws, regulations,
+Added: and rules relating to these contractual arrangements.
+Added: If the PRC government finds these contractual arrangements non-compliant with the
+Added: restrictions on direct foreign investment in the relevant industries, or if the relevant PRC laws, regulations, and rules or the interpretation
+Added: thereof change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in the VIE or forfeit
+Added: our rights under the contractual arrangements.
+Added: We and investors face uncertainty about potential future actions by the PRC government,
+Added: which could affect the enforceability of our contractual arrangements with our VIE and consequently, significantly affect the financial
+Added: condition and results of operations of us.
+Added: If we are unable to claim our right to control the assets of the VIE, our common stock may
+Added: decline in value or become worthless.
+Added: The PRC government could even disallow the VIE structure completely, which would likely result in
+Added: a material adverse change in our operations and our common stock may significantly decline in value or become worthless.
+Added: Under our corporate structure, our ability to pay
+Added: dividends and to service any debt we may incur and pay our operating expenses principally depends on dividends paid by our PRC subsidiaries
+Added: Cash is transferred through our organization in the manner as follows:
+Added: (1) we may transfer funds to our WFOEs through our Hong
+Added: Kong subsidiaries, Promising Prospect HK Limited, and Bless Chemical Co., Ltd.
+Added: (HK) by additional capital contributions or shareholder
+Added: loans, as the case may be;
+Added: (2) the VIE may pay service fees to our PRC subsidiaries for services rendered by our PRC subsidiaries;
+Added: our PRC subsidiaries may pay service fees to the VIE for services rendered by the VIE;
+Added: and (4) our PRC subsidiaries may make dividends
+Added: or other distributions to the Planet Green.
+Added: We do not have cash management policies dictating how funds are transferred throughout our
+Added: organization.
+Added: We may encounter difficulties in our ability to transfer cash between PRC subsidiaries and non-PRC subsidiaries largely
+Added: due to various PRC laws and regulations imposed on foreign exchange.
+Added: If we intend to distribute dividends to the Planet Green, our WFOEs
+Added: will transfer the dividends to our Hong Kong subsidiaries in accordance with the laws and regulations of the PRC, and then our Hong Kong
+Added: subsidiaries will transfer the dividends to the Planet Green, and the dividends can be distributed from the Planet Green to all shareholders
+Added: respectively in proportion to the shares they hold, regardless of whether the shareholders are U.S.
+Added: investors or investors in other countries
+Added: However, there can be no assurance that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions on the Company’s
+Added: ability to transfer cash out of China.
+Added: In 2022, our PRC subsidiaries did not receive any cash benefits from the VIE for services rendered
+Added: to the VIE and its subsidiaries.
+Added: As of December 31, 2022, the VIE owns $2,871,665 to our WFOE.
+Added: As of December 31, 2022, we were not
+Added: subject to any actual foreign exchange restrictions.
+Added: The foregoing cash flows include all distributions and transfers between Planet Green,
+Added: our PRC subsidiaries and the VIE as of the date of this annual report.
+Added: As of the date of this annual report, none of our subsidiaries
+Added: have ever issued any dividends or made other distributions to the Planet Green nor have Planet Green ever paid dividends or made other
+Added: distributions to U.S.
+Added: We currently intend to retain all future earnings to finance the VIE’s and our subsidiaries’
+Added: operations and to expand their business.
+Added: As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
+Added: Any limitation
+Added: on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute dividends to us or on the ability of the VIE to make payments to us may restrict our
+Added: ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements.
+Added: To the extent cash or assets in the business is in the PRC or Hong Kong or in a PRC or
+Added: Hong Kong entity, and may need to be used to fund operations outside of the PRC or Hong Kong, the funds and assets may not be available
+Added: to fund operations or for other uses outside of the PRC or Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations
+Added: by the government on our subsidiaries’ or the VIE’s ability to transfer cash and assets.
+Added: We face various legal and operational risks and
+Added: uncertainties related to being based in and having significant operations in mainland China.
+Added: The PRC government has significant authority
+Added: to exert influence on the ability of a China-based company, such as us, to conduct its business, accept foreign investments or list on
+Added: or other foreign exchanges.
+Added: For example, we face risks associated with regulatory approvals of offshore offerings, oversight on cybersecurity
+Added: and data privacy, as well as the lack of inspection by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) on our
+Added: Such risks could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the common stock or could significantly limit
+Added: or completely hinder our ability to offer common stock and/or other securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to
+Added: significantly decline or be worthless.
+Added: These regulatory risks and uncertainties could become applicable to our Hong Kong subsidiary if
+Added: regulatory authorities in Hong Kong adopt similar rules and/or regulatory actions.
+Added: Because our operations are primarily located in
+Added: the PRC and Hong Kong through our subsidiaries and VIE, we are subject to certain legal and operational risks associated with our operations
+Added: in China and Hong Kong, including changes in the legal, political and economic policies of the Chinese government, the relations between
+Added: China and the United States, or Chinese or United States regulations may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition
+Added: and results of operations.
+Added: PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain, and therefore,
+Added: these risks may result in a material change in our operations and the value of our common stock, or could significantly limit or completely
+Added: hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline
+Added: or be worthless.
+Added: Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations
+Added: in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over
+Added: China-based companies listed overseas using a variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity
+Added: reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.
+Added: We do not believe that our subsidiaries and VIE are directly subject
+Added: to these regulatory actions or statements, as we have not implemented any monopolistic behavior and our business does not involve the
+Added: collection of user data or implicate cybersecurity.
+Added: As of the date of this annual report, no relevant laws or regulations in the PRC explicitly
+Added: require us to seek approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”), Cyberspace Administration of China
+Added: (the “CAC”) or any other PRC governmental authorities for our offering, nor has our Nevada holding company or any of our subsidiaries
+Added: or our VIE received any inquiry, notice, warning or sanctions regarding our offering from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities.
+Added: However, since these statements and regulatory actions by the PRC government are newly published and official guidance and related implementation
+Added: rules have not been issued, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what
+Added: existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential
+Added: impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, the ability to accept foreign investments
+Added: and list on an U.S.
+Added: or other foreign exchange.
+Added: The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, or the SCNPC, or other
+Added: PRC regulatory authorities may in the future promulgate laws, regulations or implementing rules that requires our company or any of our
+Added: subsidiaries to obtain regulatory approval from Chinese authorities before offering in the U.S.
+Added: In other words, although the Company is
+Added: currently not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC central or local government to obtain such permission and has not received
+Added: any denial to list on the U.S.
+Added: exchange, our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly;
+Added: our ability to offer, or
+Added: continue to offer, securities to investors would be potentially hindered and the value of our securities might significantly decline or
+Added: be worthless, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its business or industry or by intervene or interruption by PRC governmental
+Added: authorities, if we or our subsidiaries (i) do not receive or maintain such permissions or approvals, (ii) inadvertently conclude that
+Added: such permissions or approvals are not required, (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain
+Added: such permissions or approvals in the future, or (iv) any intervention or interruption by PRC governmental with little advance notice.
+Added: As of the date of this annual report, the two Hong
+Added: Kong subsidiaries of Planet Green do not have any material operation in Hong Kong and they have not collected, stored, or managed any
+Added: personal information in Hong Kong.
+Added: Therefore, we have concluded that currently it does not expect that laws and regulations in Mainland
+Added: China on data security, data protection, cybersecurity or anti-monopoly to be applied to its Hong Kong subsidiaries or that the oversight
+Added: of the Cyberspace Administration of China will be extended to its operations outside of Mainland China.
+Added: In order to operate our business, in addition
+Added: to the required regular business licenses, Jingshan Sanhe is required to obtain Permit for Hazardous Chemical Products, Jilin
+Added: Chuangyuan is required to obtain Safe Production License, and Shandong Yunchu is required to obtain Permit for Food Products.
+Added: the date of this annual report, our subsidiaries, WFOEs and VIE have received from PRC authorities all requisite licenses,
+Added: permissions, and approvals needed to engage in the businesses currently conducted in the PRC, and no permission or approval has been
+Added: However, we cannot assure you that any of these entities will be able to receive clearance of such compliance
+Added: requirements in a timely manner, or at all in the future.
+Added: Any failure of these entities to fully comply with such compliance
+Added: requirements may cause our PRC subsidiaries or the PRC operating entities to be unable to begin their new businesses or operations
+Added: in the PRC, subject them to fines, relevant new businesses or operations suspension for rectification, or other sanctions.
+Added: As advised by our PRC counsel, Hubei Kaicheng Law
+Added: Offices, as of the date of this annual report, our subsidiaries, WFOEs and VIE, (i) are not required to obtain additional permissions
+Added: or approvals to operate their current business, (ii) are not required to obtain permission from the CSRC, the CAC, or any other Chinese
+Added: authorities to issue our securities to foreign investors based on PRC laws and regulations currently in effect, and (iii) have not
+Added: received or were denied such permission by any Chinese authorities.
+Added: However, we cannot assure you that the PRC regulatory agencies, including
+Added: the CAC or the CSRC, would take the same view as we do, and there is no assurance that the VIE and its subsidiaries are always able to
+Added: successfully update or renew the licenses or permits required for the relevant business in a timely manner or that these licenses or permits
+Added: are sufficient to conduct all of their present or future business.
+Added: If the VIE, WFOEs or any of its subsidiaries (i) does not receive
+Added: or maintain required permissions or approvals, (ii) inadvertently concludes that such permissions or approvals are not required,
+Added: or (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and the VIE or any of its subsidiaries is required to obtain such
+Added: permissions or approvals in the future, it could be subject to fines, legal sanctions, or an order to suspend their relevant services,
+Added: which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our securities to significantly
+Added: decline in value or become worthless.
+Added: In light of the recent statements and regulatory
+Added: actions by the PRC government, such as those related to the use of variable interest entities, data security, and anti-monopoly concerns,
+Added: Planet Green may be subject to the risks of uncertainty of any future actions of the PRC government in this regard, and if Chinese regulatory
+Added: authorities disallow the VIE structure, that may result in a material change in our operations and/or value of our securities, including
+Added: that the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
+Added: Planet Green may also be subject to penalties and sanctions
+Added: imposed by the PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, if it fails to comply with such rules and regulations, which could adversely
+Added: affect the ability of Planet Green to continue to be listed for trading on NYSE American or another foreign exchange, which may cause
+Added: the value of Planet Green’s securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
+Added: The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act
+Added: (the “HFCA Act”) and related regulations call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market
+Added: companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors and could add uncertainties to Planet Green’s offering that trading
+Added: in Planet Green’s securities may be prohibited under the HFCA Act.
+Added: Planet Green’s auditor, YCM CPA Inc., is headquartered
+Added: in California and has been inspected by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) on a regular
+Added: Our auditor is not included in the list of PCAOB Identified Firms of having been unable to be inspected or investigated completely
+Added: by the PCAOB in the PCAOB Determination Report issued in December 2021.
+Added: On June 22, 2021, the U.S.
+Added: Senate passed the Accelerating Holding
+Added: Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which, if enacted, would reduce the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering
+Added: the prohibitions under the HFCA Act from three years to two.
+Added: On December 29, 2022, the President signed the Consolidated Appropriations
+Added: Act, 2023, which, among other things, amended the HFCAA to reduce the number of consecutive years an issuer can be identified as a Commission-Identified
+Added: Issuer before the Commission must impose an initial trading prohibition on the issuer’s securities from three years to two years.
+Added: Therefore, once an issuer is identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer for two consecutive years, the Commission is required under
+Added: the HCFAA to prohibit the trading of the issuer’s securities on a national securities exchange and in the over-the-counter market.
+Added: Although we believe that the HFCA Act and the related regulations do not currently affect us, we cannot assure you that there will not
+Added: be any further implementations and interpretations of the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act or the related regulations, which
+Added: might pose regulatory risks to and impose restrictions on us because of our operations in mainland China.
+Added: Planet Green is engaged in a number of diverse

+Added: Competition in the industry is
+Added: based primarily on the ability to supply products that meet the needs of the customer and to a lesser extent, on price.

+Added: As discussed above, we operate a portion of business
+Added: in China through the VIE and its subsidiaries, and rely on contractual arrangements among our WFOEs, the VIE, and their respective
+Added: shareholders to exert influence on the business operations of the VIE.
+Added: The VIE structure provides our business operations in China with
+Added: contractual exposure to foreign investment.
+Added: However, our contractual arrangements with the VIE are not equivalent of an investment in
+Added: Investors are purchasing equity securities of our ultimate Nevada holding company rather than purchasing equity securities of
+Added: Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow this structure, which would likely result in a material change in our and/or the
+Added: VIE’s operations and/or a material change in the value of the securities we are registering for sale, including that it could cause

+Added: If the PRC government deems that the contractual arrangements

+Added: or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change or are interpreted differently in the future, we, our subsidiaries
+Added: and the VIE could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish their interests in those operations.
+Added: It is uncertain whether

+Added: In addition, to the extent cash is located in the PRC or within a PRC domiciled entity and may need to be used to fund operations outside
+Added: of the PRC, the funds may not be available due to limitations placed on us, our subsidiaries and the VIE by the PRC government.
+Added: extent cash or assets in the business is in the PRC or Hong Kong or in a PRC or Hong Kong entity, and may need to be used to fund operations
+Added: outside of the PRC or Hong Kong, the funds and assets may not be available to fund operations or for other uses outside of the PRC or

+Added: material operations of its own.
+Added: We currently conduct our operations through our subsidiaries including our WFOEs, the VIE and their
+Added: respective subsidiaries.
+Added: Cash is transferred through our organization in the manner as follows:
+Added: (1) we may transfer funds to our
+Added: WFOEs through our Hong Kong subsidiaries, Promising Prospect HK Limited, and Bless Chemical Co., Ltd.
+Added: (HK) by additional capital

+Added: rendered by our PRC subsidiaries;
+Added: (3) our PRC subsidiaries may pay service fees to the VIE for services rendered by the VIE;
+Added: (4) our PRC subsidiaries may make dividends or other distributions to Planet Green.
+Added: We do not have cash management policies
+Added: dictating how funds are transferred throughout our organization.
+Added: We may encounter difficulties in our ability to transfer cash
+Added: between PRC subsidiaries and non-PRC subsidiaries largely due to various PRC laws and regulations imposed on foreign exchange.
+Added: intend to distribute dividends through Planet Green, our WFOEs will transfer the dividends to our Hong Kong subsidiaries in
+Added: accordance with the laws and regulations of the PRC, and then our Hong Kong subsidiaries will transfer the dividends to the Planet
+Added: Green, and the dividends will be distributed from the Planet Green to all shareholders respectively in proportion to the shares they
+Added: hold, regardless of whether the shareholders are U.S.
+Added: investors or investors in other countries or regions.
+Added: There can be no
+Added: assurance the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions on the Company’s ability to transfer cash out of China.
+Added: In 2022 our PRC subsidiaries did not receive any cash benefits from the VIEs for services rendered to the VIEs and their
+Added: subsidiaries.
+Added: As of December 31, 2022, our VIE owned $2,871,665 to our WOEFs as loan.
+Added: As of December 31, 2022, we were not subject
+Added: to any actual foreign exchange restrictions.
+Added: We have no present plans to distribute earnings
+Added: or settle amounts owed under the VIE agreements which it plans to retain the retained earnings to continue to grow the business.
+Added: or distribution has been declared to paid to Planet Green from subsidiaries or its VIEs and no dividends or distribution was made to any
+Added: Effects of PRC foreign exchange regulations
+Added: on our ability to transfer assets within our organization
+Added: Current foreign exchange and other regulations
+Added: in the PRC may restrict our PRC subsidiaries and VIE in their ability to transfer their net assets to Planet Green and its subsidiaries
+Added: and to investors.
+Added: The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases,
+Added: the remittance of currency out of China.
+Added: Under our current corporate structure, Planet Green as the holding company may rely on dividend
+Added: payments from its subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements Planet Green may have.
+Added: Under existing PRC foreign exchange
+Added: regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign
+Added: exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (the “SAFE”)
+Added: by complying with certain procedural requirements.
+Added: Specifically, under the existing exchange restrictions, without prior approval of SAFE,
+Added: cash generated from the operations of our PRC subsidiaries in China may be used to pay dividends to Planet Green.
+Added: However, approval from
+Added: or registration with appropriate government authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted
+Added: out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.
+Added: As a result, we need to obtain
+Added: SAFE approval to use cash generated from the operations of our PRC subsidiaries and VIE to pay off their respective debt in a currency
+Added: other than Renminbi owed to entities outside China, or to make other capital expenditure payments outside China in a currency other than
+Added: In light of the flood of capital outflows of China
+Added: in 2016 due to the weakening Renminbi, the PRC government has imposed more restrictive foreign exchange policies and stepped up scrutiny
+Added: of major outbound capital movement including overseas direct investment.
+Added: More restrictions and substantial vetting process are put in
+Added: place by SAFE to regulate cross-border transactions falling under the capital account.
+Added: If any of Planet Green’s shareholders regulated
+Added: by such policies fail to satisfy the applicable overseas direct investment filing or approval requirement timely or at all, it may be
+Added: subject to penalties from the relevant PRC authorities.
+Added: The PRC government may at its discretion further restrict access in the future
+Added: to foreign currencies for current account transactions.
+Added: If the foreign exchange control system prevents Planet Green from obtaining sufficient
+Added: foreign currencies to satisfy Planet Green’s foreign currency demands, Planet Green may not be able to pay dividends in foreign
+Added: currencies to its shareholders.
+Added: Recent Regulatory Development
+Added: As we conduct substantially all of our operations in China, we are
+Added: subject to legal and operational risks associated with having substantially all of our operations in China, including changes in the legal,
+Added: political and economic policies of the Chinese government, the relations between China and the United States, or Chinese or United States
+Added: regulations may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: PRC laws and regulations
+Added: governing our current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain, and therefore, these risks may result in a material change
+Added: in our operations and the value of our common stock or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue
+Added: to offer our securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
+Added: Recently, the PRC
+Added: government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in
+Added: China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based
+Added: companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly
+Added: We have relied on the opinion of our PRC counsel, Hubei Kaicheng Law Office, that as of the date of this Annual Report, we
+Added: are not directly subject to these regulatory actions or statements, as we have not implemented any monopolistic behavior and our business
+Added: does not involve large-scale collection of user data, implicate cybersecurity, or involve any other type of restricted industry.
+Added: advised by our PRC counsel, Hubei Kaicheng Law Office, as of the date of this Annual Report, no relevant laws or regulations in the PRC
+Added: explicitly require us to seek approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) or any other PRC governmental
+Added: authorities for our overseas listing or securities offering plans, nor has our company or any of our subsidiaries received any inquiry,
+Added: notice, warning or sanctions regarding our offering of securities from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities.
+Added: However, since
+Added: these statements and regulatory actions by the PRC government are newly published and official guidance and related implementation rules
+Added: have not been issued, it is highly uncertain what potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business
+Added: operations, or ability to accept foreign investments and list on a U.S.
+Added: or other foreign exchange.
+Added: The Standing Committee of the National
+Added: People’s Congress (the “SCNPC”) or other PRC regulatory authorities may in the future promulgate laws, regulations or
+Added: implementing rules that require our company or any of our subsidiaries to obtain regulatory approval from Chinese authorities before offering
+Added: securities in the U.S.
+Added: In other words, although the Company is currently not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC central
+Added: or local government and has not received any denial to list on the U.S.
+Added: exchange, our operations could be adversely affected, directly
+Added: or indirectly;
+Added: our ability to offer, or continue to offer, securities to investors would be potentially hindered and the value of our
+Added: securities might significantly decline or be worthless, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its business or industry
+Added: or by intervene or interruption by PRC governmental authorities, if we or our subsidiaries (i) do not receive or maintain such permissions
+Added: or approvals, (ii) inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required, (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or
+Added: interpretations change and we are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, or (iv) any intervention or interruption
+Added: by PRC governmental with little advance notice.
+Added: See “ Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in China ” beginning
+Added: on page 30 for a detailed description of various risks related to doing business in China and other information that should be considered
+Added: before making a decision to purchase any of our securities.
+Added: Enforcement of Civil Liabilities
+Added: Currently all our directors and majority of senior
+Added: executive officers either are physically reside in China for a significant portion of each year, and/or are PRC nationals.
+Added: it may be difficult for you to effect service of process upon us or those persons inside mainland China.
+Added: In addition, there is uncertainty
+Added: as to whether the PRC courts would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S.
+Added: courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil
+Added: liability provisions of U.S.
+Added: securities laws or those of any U.S.
+Added: The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments
+Added: are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law.
+Added: PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the
+Added: requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made
+Added: or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions.
+Added: China does not have any treaties or other forms of written arrangement with the
+Added: that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.
+Added: In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures
+Added: Law, the PRC courts will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates
+Added: the basic principles of PRC laws or national sovereignty, security, or public interest.
+Added: As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what
+Added: basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the U.S.
+Added: It may also be difficult for you or overseas regulators
+Added: to conduct investigations or collect evidence within China.
+Added: For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to
+Added: obtaining information needed for shareholder investigations or litigation outside China or otherwise with respect to foreign entities.
+Added: Although the authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with its counterparts of another country or region
+Added: to monitor and oversee cross-border securities activities, such regulatory cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the
+Added: may not be efficient in the absence of a practical cooperation mechanism.
+Added: Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities
+Added: Law, or “Article 177,” which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct
+Added: investigations or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC.
+Added: Article 177 further provides that Chinese entities and
+Added: individuals are not allowed to provide documents or materials related to securities business activities to foreign agencies without prior
+Added: consent from the securities regulatory authority of the PRC State Council and the competent departments of the PRC State Council.
+Added: detailed interpretation of or implementing rules under Article 177 have yet to be promulgated, the inability for an overseas securities
+Added: regulator to directly conduct an investigation or evidence collection activities within China may further increase difficulties faced
+Added: by you in protecting your interests.
