Traditional Chinese medicine is the crystallization of the wisdom of traditional Chinese culture and plays an important role
in treating or preventing diseases.
In recent years, with the transformation of human health concepts and medical models, the unique advantages of traditional Chinese medicine have gradually been recognized and accepted by more and more countries and regions, the pace of Chinese traditional Chinese medicine enterprises to the international market is accelerating, and the "going to sea" of traditional Chinese medicine has also made new achievements
.
It is reported that during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the total export trade of Traditional Chinese medicine products in China has reached 28.
19 billion US dollars
.
Behind the remarkable achievements in the overseas development of chinese medicine, it is inseparable from the support
of a series of favorable policies of the state for chinese medicine during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period.
According to the "13th Five-Year Plan" for the development of traditional Chinese medicine, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the development of traditional Chinese medicine is in the period of capacity improvement, the expansion of health services, the period of participation in medical reform and the improvement of policy mechanisms, but there are still new situations and new problems, among which the international competitiveness of Chinese medicine needs to be further improved
in terms of going out.
In this regard, one of the clear development goals of the plan is that the development of Chinese medicine is more inclusive and open
.
It is required that Chinese and Western medicine learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses, and establish a long-term sustainable mechanism for the coordinated development of Traditional Chinese and Western medicine
.
The cooperation between traditional Chinese medicine and multidisciplinary disciplines is deepening, and international exchanges and cooperation achieve mutual benefit and win-win results
.
The key tasks are clearly to actively promote the overseas development of Chinese medicine, including three aspects: actively participate in the national "Belt and Road" construction, build a high-level cooperation mechanism and platform, and vigorously develop trade
in Chinese medicine services.

of countries along the route 。 With medicines and drugs, according to the drug regulatory systems of different countries, promote mature and fully guaranteed Chinese herbal medicine resources to register in countries along the route in a variety of ways such as drugs, health care products, functional foods, etc.
, forming well-known brands and expanding the share
of traditional Chinese medicine products in the market along the route.
In terms of building high-level cooperation mechanisms and platforms, it includes deepening cooperation with international organizations such as the World Health Organization and the International Organization for Standardization, actively participating in the research and formulation of international rules, standards and norms, and building an international standard system and certification system for
traditional Chinese medicine.
