 difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal or state courts may be limited. We are a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, we conduct most of our operations in China, and most of our assets, including our cash, cash equivalents and short term investments, are located in China and Hongkong.

For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for shareholder investigations or litigation outside China or otherwise with respect to foreign entities.
