 of the National People’s Congress on November 7,
2016 and took effect on June 1, 2017, personal information and important data collected and generated by a critical information infrastructure
operator in the course of its operations in China must be stored in China, and if a critical information infrastructure operator purchases
internet products and services that affects or may affect national security, it should be subject to cybersecurity review by the CAC.
Due to the lack of further interpretations, the exact scope of “critical information infrastructure operator” remains unclear.
On July 10, 2021, the CAC publicly issued the Measures for Cybersecurity Censorship (Revised Draft for Comments) aiming to, upon its
enactment, replace the existing Measures for Cybersecurity Censorship. The draft measures extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews to
data processing operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security, including listing in a
foreign country. The draft measures require a company holding more than one million personal information to submit its IPO materials
prepared for submission for cybersecurity review before listing on a foreign exchange.

It
is unclear whether the draft measures will apply to a company planning to list on a U.S. exchange by business combination with a special
purpose acquisition corporation like us. If cybersecurity review applies to our Business Combination with a company holding more than
one million personal information in China, we cannot guarantee that we will receive such approval in a timely manner. Further, due to
limited business combination period that we have, we may avoid searching for a target and completing an initial business combination
that will be subject to Chinese cybersecurity review. Therefore, we may avoid searching for a company with one million personal information
in China or a company operating critical information infrastructure in China.

Furthermore,
if we were found to be in violation of applicable laws and regulations in China during such review, we could be subject to administrative
penalties, such as warnings, fines, or service suspension. Therefore, cybersecurity review could materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In
addition, the PRC Data Security Law, which was promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on June
10, 2021 and takes effect on September 1, 2021, requires data collection to be conducted in a legitimate and proper manner, and stipulates
that, for the purpose of data protection, data processing activities must be conducted based on data classification and hierarchical
protection system
