We hereby
consent to the following references to our firm in amendment no. 2 of the
Registration Statement on Form S-1 of China Jo-Jo Drugstores, Inc.(Registration
Statement No. 333-163879), and any amendments thereto:
(1)
“Since we do not own any equity interests in Jiuzhou Pharmacy, but controls the
drugstore chain through contractual arrangements with our wholly foreign owned
enterprise (“WFOE”), Jiuxin Management, we have been advised by our PRC counsel,
Allbright Law Offices (“Allbright”), that the regulations on foreign ownership
of drugstores do not apply to us even if our drugstore chain expands beyond 30
stores.”
(2)
“Since we do not have actual equity interest in Jiuzhou Clinic or Jiuzhou
Service, but control these entities through contractual arrangements, Allbright
has advised us that the PRC regulations restricting foreign ownership of medical
practice are not applicable to us or our structure.”
(3)
“Although we have been advised by Allbright, that based on their understanding
of the current PRC laws, rules and regulations, the structure for operating our
business in China (including our corporate structure and contractual
arrangements with Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic, Jiuzhou Service and their
respective owners) comply with all applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations,
and do not violate, breach, contravene or otherwise conflict with any applicable
PRC laws, rules or regulations, we cannot assure you that the PRC regulatory
authorities will not determine that our corporate structure and contractual
arrangements violate PRC laws, rules or regulations.”

Submitted,
