 with heightened tensions in geopolitical and economic relations. Rivalries and sanctions between major powers, including the United States and China, and unrest, terrorist threats, wars and other conflicts involving Ukraine, the Middle East and elsewhere have created increased global uncertainty. Such geopolitical tensions, along with trade disputes and regional conflicts, may result in economic instability, market volatility, and regulatory changes, which could impact our supply chain, operations, and consumer demand. Recently, the United States has proposed to impose multiple rounds of tariffs on a wide range of goods imported from multiple countries, including China, and China has responded with retaliatory tariffs. Since February 2025, the U.S. administration has proposed to increase the total tariff level for imported Chinese goods to 125% and additional tariff increase could be imposed as the trade tension between the two countries continues to heighten. On April 9, 2025, China has responded by hiking its levies on U.S. imports to 84% from 34%. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions, between the U.S. and China, as well as between the U.S. and other countries. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, cross-border investment, technological exchange, and other economic activities between major economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial and stock markets. Moreover, the heightened geopolitical uncertainty and potential for further escalation may discourage investments in securities issued by China-based issuers (including us) and affect the global macroeconomic environment. For example, it has been reported that the U.S. administration may consider imposing further restrictions or prohibitions on trading of Chinese securities. Although cross-border trade is not our principal business, any such geopolitical developments could materially and adversely affect our overall financial performance and prices of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

The bombing of Iran by Israel and the United States and the resulting and potentially escalating tensions in the region could feed uncertainty in the oil markets, which could impact prices for fuel, transportation, freight and other related items, impacting costs directly and indirectly leading to more inflation. In particular, if Iran seeks to close the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices could spike and the escalation of hostilities could have other consequences, which would materially adversely affect us given the location of our customers in Southeast Asia which is highly reliant on oil from Iran and other countries in the Middle East. In addition, the continuation or further escalation of this conflict, or the uncertainties involved with potential regime change, could create significant volatility
