   1.                                                   We note your response
to our prior comments number 2 and 4. We do not see disclosure
                                                        regarding the risks
involving enforcement of laws or the risk that rules and regulations can
                                                        change quickly with
little notice. Please revise your risk factors section to specifically
                                                        state, with respect to
China and other jurisdictions as appropriate, the risks arising from

                                                        disclosure should make
clear and specifically state whether these risks could result in a
                                                        material change in your
operations and/or the value of your securities.
