Yes, sure. I think China market -- the main reason why China market is so sensitive about the pricing is really because, first, it’s very close to all the major manufacturing. The shipping time, the transportation time is much shorter compared with, for example, U.S. or Europe or all other major markets. So, that’s why it’s highly sensitive, anything happening from to upstream downstream, the information is transferred very rapidly. That’s why the market price changes so fast and rapid. And back to your question regarding the future market pricing, we see market pricing start to differentiate because the project segments are different. For example, if you go to these high-end projects, like the top runner projects, those high-end products are really short of supply. The ASPs, the margins, all the financial numbers in that segment looks much better compared with other markets. And then, if you look into the other segments, such as the poverty alleviation projects, they really care about this -- let’s say, the kilowatt hour generated and also the significant timing, together with the pricing. So, they are quite sensitive about the whole economics. And the last big segment will be the grid parity projects or that’s latest I’d say announcement, policy driven market. And those markets are -- investors are really getting rid of those old types philosophy of price driven. They are really looking to the benefit of the good products, high-end products together with the economics. So, that will get better. In my view, in long term, China market will become much more rational, because of the grid parity in the -- let’s say right now, in some provinces, and very soon in most of the area in China.
