This letter is in response to the letter dated March 5, 2025 from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) addressed to Shineco, Inc.

An amendment to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (“Amendment No. 1”) is being filed to accompany this letter.

For example, we note your disclosure on page 7 that “[i]n the opinion of [y]our PRC legal counsel, Beijing Yingke Law Firm, as this offering does not constitute a subsequent offering by [you], [you] are not required to file with the CSRC in accordance with the Trial Measures in connection with this offering”, and your disclosure on page 25 that “[a]s confirmed by [y]our PRC counsel, Beijing Yingke Law Firm...[you] will not be subject to cybersecurity review by the CAC under the Cybersecurity Review Measures, nor will any such entity be subject to the Security Administration.” Please revise to file the opinion of your PRC counsel.

In responding to the Staff’s comments, the Company acknowledges that:

 

  the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;
     
  the Staff’s comments or changes to disclosure in response to the Staff’s comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and

We appreciate the assistance the Staff has provided with its comments. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our counsel, Ying Li, Esq., of Hunter Taubman Fischer & Li LLC, at (212) 530-2206.
