How Does Yuying Zhang's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
At the time of writing, our data says that Shineco, Inc. has a market cap of US$15m, and reported total annual CEO compensation of US$151k for the year to June 2019. That's just a smallish increase of 2.0% on last year. While we always look at total compensation first, we note that the salary component is less, at US$120k.

Is Shineco, Inc. Growing?
Over the last three years Shineco, Inc. has shrunk its earnings per share by an average of 36% per year (measured with a line of best fit). It saw its revenue drop 29% over the last year.
Sadly for shareholders, earnings per share are actually down, over three years. And the impression is worse when you consider revenue is down year-on-year. It's hard to argue the company is firing on all cylinders, so shareholders might be averse to high CEO remuneration.

With a three year total loss of 90%, Shineco, Inc. would certainly have some dissatisfied shareholders. It therefore might be upsetting for shareholders if the CEO were paid generously.
In Summary...
It looks like Shineco, Inc. pays its CEO less than similar sized companies.
Yuying Zhang is paid less than CEOs of similar size companies, but the company isn't growing and total shareholder returns have been disappointing.
