Re:China Recycling Energy Corporation
Registration Statement on Form S-3
Filed March 10, 2014
File No. 333-194470

 

Dear Ms. Ransom:

 

On behalf of our client, China Recycling Energy Corporation (“CREG” or the “Company” and sometimes referred to as “we” or “our”), this firm is filing a response to the SEC Comment Letter, dated May 7, 2014, in connection with complying with the issues and outstanding disclosure items set forth therein. For convenience of reference, we have included, in this response letter, the same caption and paragraph number, as well as the text of the comment, set forth in your May 7, 2014 comment letter followed by our response.

Exhibit 5.1 – Opinion of McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP

 

Comment 2:We note your response to comment 3 in our letter dated April 3, 2014, including your belief that the language that the opinion “is provided for use solely in connection with the resale of the Common Stock covered by the Registrant Statement” should be interpreted as allowing investors to rely on Counsel’s opinion. While this language appears to appropriately limit the purpose for which the opinion may be used, it does not appear to speak as to a person or a class of persons. However, the language that the opinion “may not be furnished to, quoted from or relied upon by any other person, firm or corporation” appears to inappropriately limit the persons that may rely on the opinion to the addressee of the opinion (your board of directors). Accordingly, we re-issue this comment.

 

Response:

 

We will revise and replace the sentence “This opinion letter is provided for use solely in connection with the resale of the Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement may not be furnished to, quoted from or relied upon by any other person, firm, or corporation without our express written consent.” with a new sentence (italicized font reflects new proposed insert) that “This opinion letter is provided for use solely in connection with the resale of the Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement, and except for its use in connection with such resale  may not be furnished to, quoted from or relied upon by any other person, firm, or corporation without our express written consent.”

 

If you have any further comments or require any further information or if any questions should arise in connection with this submission, please call me at (404) 527-4990, Derek Swanson at (404) 527-4037 or Jeffrey Li at (202) 496-7443.

 

   Very truly yours,
