This Schedule 13D/A provides an updated view of significant insider ownership following the company's 1-for-220 reverse stock split on January 16, 2026. The filing highlights that COO Aimin Kong, through his affiliated entities, beneficially owns 50.8% of the company's ordinary shares, primarily through convertible preferred shares. A notable event disclosed is the transfer of 490,000 ordinary shares, representing approximately 8.4% of the current outstanding shares, from a COO-controlled entity to China Stamp Trading Center Co., Limited at no cost. While not a cash sale, this is a substantial reallocation of shares for a company with a very small market capitalization.

Investors should monitor any further disclosures regarding the purpose or implications of these significant share transfers and the ongoing corporate actions, including the upcoming vote on increasing authorized shares.
