Okay.

Thank you Thomas final question I'm on Sunday evening.

Yes.

Yeah.

And so in Q4, because it means that Oh nice monetization with June activity affected by the global macro uncertainty.

But we have no chance to get family coverage trends by region. As example, it's seen U S North America, and South East Asia, I mean, you're seeing sequential as well.

You at either recorded a double digit, whereas Q on Jan one.

I believe that was mainly due each all access operational and events and careful which promotes it creates activity in the region.

The Middle East region underperformed as a hosting the World Cup.

That's very good powerhouse users time spent and time and spending offline.

During the period.

We saw paying activities in that region began to recover immediately after defend when its conclusion.

Look back to full year performance across to defend market some markets turned out to be more resilient against the macro headwinds and achieve positive you know if he can't close such as Australia, and New Zealand, and Philippines, U K, Italy et cetera.

Look had foot of Yale Chinese three I believe that the recovery trends across different regions should be highly relate to chi.

Economic growth and the level of development of our operations and in the local region.

Overall speaking, we intend to stick to our globalization strategy with a diversified exposure.

Across the various markets, we will remain operational flexibility as we can effectively prioritize and allocate resources globally and locally into markets that are more efficient to.

She's a higher ally.

We will continue to focus on key markets, such as Europe America, Southeast Asia, and Middle East and the Eastern Pacific region, and we will closely track market changes and remain flexible and adaptive and now our operational strategy. Thank you.

Yeah.

Yeah, you know, it's just Oh, there's a change of the whole world when you price it.

Well this isn't a whole lot.

You have to do all daughters, who are C. G in English again.

Oh I know you all know they go along yeah, and I think the team really launches acuity easy Lufthansa you Eagle the use or.

Do you believe that RG pool to the tools Sheila seems you know someone yeah, we used to have one view, but it won't be because I'm not.

She got up on Lora <unk> who's the Orange School, please I'm just going down.

So the last one I know of mineralization at the Army. Our son, Yeah, you guys, who didn't believe we usually do not do it yourself and you well know believe me here those are the ones who want when you go out and do you watch Hunter AUM, that's part of it.

Yeah.

Quite some negative news coming out recently as well. So we believe that it's just possible macro headwinds knee affect us for another one or two cortez on given the current uncertainties. We believe that we will need to control short term risks and at the same time.

I'm, having some degree of operational flexibility.

And making sure that we are fully prepare to swiftly take action and capture growth opportunities, especially when the natural or use your paying sentiment takes a positive trend.

And according to our previous seasonality experience, usually Q1, it's a quieter season.

With less marketing activities, and we believe because topline should gradually stabilize in Q2, and we've seen a sequential and year over year growth in the second half of the year.

Similarly, we believe that the others segment should also ease in sequential growth in Q2. So overall speaking we believe that the year 'twenty three should be a year of a recovery in topline growth, especially in the second half and we will continue.

Continue to closely track the evolving market dynamics and flexibly adjust our operating strategy. Thank you.
