In overseas has a tenacious vitality of traditional Chinese medicine

I once in New Zealand and Sweden as ambassador, have the opportunity to participate in the work to promote the internationalization of Chinese medicine, experience in overseas has a tenacious vitality of Chinese medicine.

First, traditional Chinese medicine in the nation has a very broad, very profound influence. Where there is overseas Chinese, there is bound to Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine clinics. Abroad means of development of traditional Chinese medicine, whether it is in New Zealand, Australia, and Europe, many of them founded the association of Chinese association of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, etc, regular activities and communication.

Second, the traditional Chinese medicine in mainstream gradually to the western social development, increasing. A lot of westerners to come to China to learn acupuncture, return after open clinic of TCM. A remote town in Sweden, can only see Chinese restaurant before, but now you have opened clinic of traditional Chinese medicine, this suggests that there's a growing demand for the westerners to Chinese medicine.

New Zealand, Sweden is a free medical care, but more and more swedes at the clinic, the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, and the price does not poor.

I can see that domestic a learned western medicine doctor to awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine of the karolinska institute in Sweden to learn western medicine after a period of time, pain west heal table solution not effect a permanent cure, gave up, established the Chinese medicine clinic in Stockholm, and more and more patients.

Third, the mainstream of the Swedish academy, the hospital is more and more aware of the traditional medicine of TCM is a worthy reference, admitted that the effect of Chinese medicine, is willing to cooperate. Annually awarded Nobel Prize for medicine karolinska institute school of medicine, very interested in antimicrobial treatment of traditional Chinese medicine disease, the initiative and the major at home, is willing to pay to carry out the project, then found the guangdong hospital of cooperation.

Fourth, our country's federation of overseas Chinese and the major provinces and cities periodically organizations authority to free the nation yizhen, nation be a brigade to interrogation, much influence in the local.

Most importantly, our leaders attach great importance to traditional Chinese medicine to world. Can say, Chinese medicine to the world, is facing a rare historical opportunity.

To the world of traditional Chinese medicine face challenges

First, the westerners accustomed to use western medicine of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to measure of thinking, everything all want to quantify. This and the whole medical system of traditional Chinese medicine is very different, communicating with, this is a deep cultural conflict.

Second, the United States and the European Union access set up a big obstacle for proprietary Chinese medicine, to manage proprietary Chinese medicine with western medicine way. Acknowledged the European Union, for instance, on the face of proprietary Chinese medicine, but according to their standard test, meet the requirements are allowed to register. Also requires must be used within seven years out of the comprehensive detailed clinical report. Due to the setting threshold is too high, it is difficult to take out meets the requirements of China's traditional Chinese medicine enterprise data. In addition, for registered investment cost is too high, the enterprise also can't afford it. Eventually lead to China's productive proprietary Chinese medicine fully out of the European Union it has a population of 500 million consumption potential huge market.

Facing the challenge of traditional Chinese medicine should seize the opportunity

To the world of traditional Chinese medicine is an important part of our country open strategy, can be said to be the country's behaviour. Should be under the leadership of the state administration of traditional Chinese medicine, the officer of the people, to actively promote. This is a long-term, systematic project. Is the most favorable conditions, we China now inexorably towards the world political and economic center, to become the world's second-largest economy, it is very beneficial for traditional Chinese medicine to world.

First, the government level. Should strengthen the communication with the world health organization, the world health organization (who) more and more recognition of traditional Chinese medicine.

The internationalization of Chinese medicine on my diplomatic agenda, traditional Chinese medicine combined leaders and foreign leaders visit to sign a bilateral cooperation agreement, to promote from the government level. And the internationalization of Chinese medicine about activity on leaders visit schedule, reception of foreign leaders, can be combined major activities held in a visit to the traditional Chinese medicine culture festival, to introduce foreign publics to traditional Chinese medicine.

To strengthen the relationship and I embassies, the state departments of traditional Chinese medicine can put the new progress about TCM comprehensive provided to embassies, encourage foreign make led tube with national regulators.

Second, win support from the diplomatic service, the internationalization of Chinese medicine in China's public diplomacy. To strengthen the cooperation and the ministry of culture, put the content of the traditional Chinese medicine on cultural diplomacy. To strengthen the cooperation and the ministry of education, through I was set up by the hundreds of overseas Confucius institute propaganda culture of traditional Chinese medicine.

Third, we will focus on developing countries and the area with Chinese culture in traditional Chinese medicine, cooperation of countries along the way communication, in order to obtain the substantial progress. Especially Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, etc. They all recognize the curative effect of TCM.

Fourth, to further strengthen and the western countries some mainstream medical school, university and medical regulators contact, these institutions of traditional Chinese medicine is not exclusive, and are interested in. Be proactive to introduce them to the curative effect of TCM.

Strengthen the contact in the western Chinese doctor at the hospital. Give the Nobel Prize for medicine, for example, the Swedish Karolinska institute of medical school has dozens of Chinese doctors and professors. Through them to introduce to the west of traditional Chinese medicine more persuasive.

Fifth, strengthen links with the nation of the traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine group, the use of overseas Chinese or the government channels, many old Chinese medicine clinics abroad, expand the influence. To strengthen the training of overseas Chinese talents, strengthen cooperation and overseas Chinese organizations, continue to support for foreigners coming to China to study Chinese medicine give scholarships.

Sixth, countries should be to the traditional Chinese medicine enterprise into the European and American markets to give subsidies and policy support. In the condition of the surrounding countries and African countries, such as planting base of Chinese medicinal materials, meet the needs of the domestic of high quality medicinal herbs.

Seventh, research institute, university of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine enterprises, to practice good internal strength, strengthen the sorting and analyzing information about the case, especially to strengthen the construction of the standardization of Chinese medicine. In may, within the scope of the use of modern medical means to analyze the results of traditional Chinese medicine, in order to communicate in the world, to strengthen the understanding of TCM and accept.

I believe that through our joint efforts, will be able to achieve the goal of make traditional Chinese medicine to the world at an early date.
