If,
after our initial business combination, substantially all of our assets will be located in China and substantially all of our revenue
will be derived from our operations there, our results of operations and prospects and trading prices of our securities will be subject,
to a significant extent, to the economic, political and legal policies, developments and conditions in China as well as litigation and
publicity surrounding China-based companies listed in the United States.

The
economic, political and social conditions, as well as government policies, of China could affect our business. The economies in Asia
differ from the economies of most developed countries in many respects. For the most part, such economies have grown at a rate in excess
of the United States; however, (1) such economic growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy
and (2) such growth may not be sustained in the future. If in the future such country’s economy experiences a downturn or grows
at a slower rate than expected, there may be less demand for spending in certain industries. A decrease in demand for spending in certain
industries could materially and adversely affect our ability to find an attractive target business with which to consummate our initial
business combination and if we effect our initial business combination, the ability of that target business to become profitable.

We
believe that litigation and negative publicity surrounding companies with operations in China that are listed in the United States have
negatively impacted stock prices for these companies. Various equity-based research organizations have published reports on China-based
companies after examining their corporate governance practices, related party transactions, sales practices and financial statements,
and these reports have led to special investigations and listing suspensions on U.S. national exchanges. Any similar scrutiny of our
assets and operation, in China, if any, regardless of its lack of merit, could result in a diversion of management resources and energy,
potential costs to defend ourselves against rumors, decreases and volatility in the trading price of our securities, and increased directors
and officers insurance premiums and could have an adverse effect upon our business, including our results of operations, financial condition,
cash flows and prospects.

China’s
economic, political and social conditions, as well as changes in any government policies, laws and regulations, could have a material
adverse effect on our business.

A
substantial portion of our operations may be conducted in China, and a significant
