RE: Yongye Biotechnology International, Inc. (the "Company”)

We have read the statements that we understand the Company will include under Item 4.01 of the Form 8-K report that it will file regarding our resignation. We agree with such statements made regarding our firm. We have no basis to agree or disagree with other statements made under Item 4.01.

Very truly yours,
