Several Suggestions on the Development and Administration of the Internet Music, or the Suggestions, which became effective on November 20, 2006. The Suggestions, among other things, reiterate the requirement for Internet service providers to obtain an Online Culture Operating Permit to operate any business involving Internet music products. In addition, foreign investors are prohibited from operating Internet culture businesses. However, the laws and regulations on Internet music products are still evolving, and there have not been any provisions stipulating whether or how music videos will be regulated by the Suggestions.

On August 18, 2009, the MCT issued theNotice on Strengthening and Improving the Content Review of Online Music. According to this notice, only “ Internet culture operating entities” approved by the MCT may engage in the production, release, dissemination (including providing direct links to music products) and importation of online music products. Online music content shall be reviewed by or filed with the MCT. Internet culture operating entities should establish a strict system for self-monitoring online music content and set up a special department in charge of such monitoring.

Tianying Jiuzhou provides Internet music products on our PC websites, mobile applications, mobile websites and third-party platform accounts. As of the date of this annual report, Tianying Jiuzhou has been granted an Online Culture Operating Permit with a permitted scope including the operation of online music, art and entertainment products, art products, play performance, animation products, organization of exhibition or race of the online cultural products and performances. Tianying Jiuzhou has renewed its Network Publication Service License, which will expire on December 4, 2028.
