Yes, Shein's size is usually smaller than western clothing size. If you want to be 100% sure, you can check the actual measurements for each size so you can get the correct size.
1) Check the Sizing Measurements
In my experience, clothes from Shein run small. While this isn't true across the board, 90% of the time I have found this to be the case. This is why checking the sizing is important. When you hover over a certain size on the page of the item you're interested in, measurements come up.
Just click on the 'Size Guide' button on each product page to find out the measurements which you can view in centimeters and inches, and how to measure to make sure it fits perfectly.
It offers sizes XL to 5X—with a caveat. According to the sizing chart, everything is at least two sizes smaller than typical plus sizes. At Shein, 0XL is the equivalent of a size 12 instead of the usual size 16, and a 5X is a size 22, not the expected size 30 to 32.
Some stores will consider a medium to be a size 10, while others a size 12-14. As an average, a Medium is likely to be a around a size 12.
If the ready-made size of the shirt is indicated, XL corresponds to the ready-made size 58 or 60 (slightly wider cut).

XL means extra large and translates to women's sizes 16–18. This is generally considered plus size clothing.
Plus-size clothing is generally considered a women's size 18 and beyond. “Missy” or “straight” sizes range from 00–16/18, XXS–XXL whereas plus sizes range from 12W–28W, 0X–4X and greater. You might think plus sizes are just extended straight sizes, but guess again.
The lack of mid-size women wearing a 10, 12 or 14 is apparent. And if they are there, they're considered plus-size. Ashley Graham, widely regarded as one of the world's most famous “plus-size” models, is a size 14.
