Shenhua's attack showed no signs of slowing down after the break. Malele netted with a back-heel in the 57th minute, and five minutes later, Macario Hing-Glover set up Cao Yunding to score a tap-in.
Will Donkin's late effort found the top corner, giving Shenzhen a consolation goal.
Shenhua now sit top of the table with five wins and one draw.
