According to the reporter Yang Chunna Ma Xiaocheng European midian mound from guangzhou Chinese medicine culture is the Chinese unique cultural card, maritime silk road has always is the road of "going out" of traditional Chinese medicine. The expert inside course of study thinks, the traditional Chinese medicine shall be introduced to carry out the strategy of "area" fist industry, formation and keep pace "high-speed rail effect" of "effect" of traditional Chinese medicine.

Break through the overseas transmission of Chinese medicine

In tang and song dynasties, as the starting point of maritime silk route, xuwen in guangdong province and guangzhou, yangjiang and other ports of trade of traditional Chinese medicine has occupied an important position. The continuation of history development footprint, in recent years, guangdong in continue to explore many achievements of "going out" of Chinese medicine.

Guangdong through international exchanges and cooperation of scientific research, the introduction of international advanced technology to produce a batch of mature scientific research achievements of traditional Chinese medicine, promote the independent innovation of Chinese medicine level and international competitiveness, promote the spread of traditional Chinese medicine and internationalization.

In guangdong hospital, for example, in recent years, the hospital and the United States, Canada, Sweden and other more than 10 countries and regions of the world to conduct researches in the field of TCM, 15 signed cooperation projects. Among them, with Australia's royal Melbourne institute of technology university was established in the Macao international research center of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine treatment has the advantages of 26 kinds of symptoms to develop evidence-based Chinese medicine research.

In addition, Chinese medicine trade market breadth and depth of preliminary implement global expansion. Customs statistics show that 2014, guangdong enterprises to export 15000 tons of Chinese herbal medicine and Chinese medicine, compared to the same period last year increased by 9%.

System of traditional Chinese medicine, also got more countries and regions. Australia since 2012, the national registration management of TCM, herbalists, became the first to admit the legal status of traditional Chinese medicine in the legislative way in the west. Singapore and Thailand have made it clear to the legislation of TCM, Italy, Russia, allow the development of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture medical, the Czech republic, Sweden and some European countries allow affiliated in practice, the TCM doctor practicing doctors name for medical services. Chinese traditional medicine in Vietnam, Russia and the united Arab emirates and other countries in the form of drugs registration, in the form of drugs into the international medical system gradually.

Has yet to enter the international mainstream medicine market

"Going out" at the same time, traditional Chinese medicine industry is faced with some challenges.

First, joint scientific research of traditional Chinese medicine faces capital bottleneck. Guangdong hospital since 2008, with overseas research institutions to carry out the research of traditional Chinese medicine, since all the scientific research project investment of only 20 million yuan, of which the hospital has its own investment accounted for 60%, foreign project funds accounted for 30%, domestic project funds accounted for 10%. Guangdong hospital of lifelong honorary President, President of guangdong Chinese medicine yu-bo lv, said that more than one thousand ten thousand yuan basic hospital investment spent on travel and literature research, not able to afford to participate in scientific research experts allowance.

In addition, in the world within the scope of the legal status of traditional Chinese medicine has not yet been widely established. Traditional Chinese medicine in southeast Asia generally, but in western countries legal status has not been acknowledged that make traditional Chinese medicine is difficult to break into the mainstream of the international medical market. Cheng Xueren said, now in the company exports more than 20 countries and regions, the United States and Canada only defines Chinese native medicine preparation as food additives and dietary supplements; Singapore and Australia as a traditional Chinese medicine (or drug) imports. In the European Union, the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are not according to the above two kinds of circumstance processing, basic cannot be imported into the country.

"There's a German clients in order to import our products, have to the product to the Netherlands, again by the Netherlands sent to Germany, because of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the Netherlands is the eu countries regulatory relatively loose one of the countries most." He said.

At the same time, the potential of traditional Chinese medicine is suffering from eating into intellectual property. Europe and some developed countries to realize the fortunes of natural medicine in traditional medicine, traditional medicine to make use of its advanced technology, and then apply for the protection of intellectual property rights of events occur. Yu-bo lv said: "what did they do, we have basically can't do it."

Experts believe that China and the countries along the "area", especially in southeast Asia, South Asia, which owns the unique theory system of traditional medicine, treatment and drug. Indian plant curcuma, bitter gourd, Chinese artemisinin, nightfall pill, bezoar kyushin pills have suffered infringement, left a painful lesson. These are for the protection of the intellectual property of traditional Chinese medicine is a wake-up call.

Laying solid foundation of "going out" of Chinese medicine

Expert proposal, should take measures from the following aspects as soon as possible so as to help Chinese medicine from "area" strategy to implement to the wider international community.

One is to promote traditional Chinese medicine industry into the to carry out the "area" all the way around the strategy implementation plan. Experts think, especially traditional Chinese medicine production provinces, sales provinces, export provinces, should be combined with their own actual situation, is to promote traditional Chinese medicine industry and related support policies towards the world.

The second is to set up Chinese medicine culture dissemination fund to support joint research of traditional Chinese medicine. In Hong Kong, for example, adopts the combination of Chinese and western medicine to prevent and control SARS SARS period, achieved good control effect. The Hong Kong department of medical administration management on combine traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is summarized, the decision to allow into the part of the public hospital of traditional Chinese medicine.

Three is to establish a system of intellectual property protection of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine quality control mechanisms. Intellectual property rights are violated is China's traditional medicine and the "area" all the way along the country, especially in southeast Asia, South Asia countries jointly face a serious problem. In traditional medicine intellectual property protection, some foreign experience is worth learning. Such as the traditional Indian medicine at a huge investment, cooperation with other ministries developed "digital library" of traditional medicine knowledge, preliminary build a set of unique traditional medicine intellectual property rights protection system. At present, parts of South Asia has negotiated with India to establish the traditional knowledge digital library in South Asia, hand in hand to strengthen traditional medicine intellectual property rights (ipr) protection in South Asia. In addition, due to the heavy medical light medicine pattern still exists, enhancing the quality control is imminent.

Four is to put on the theory of huangdi neijing, etc and logical basis of traditional Chinese medicine culture as Chinese values and culture business card. Huangdi neijing and other cultural classics, such as zhouyi, the daodejing, the book of songs, etc., are the precious wealth of the Chinese nation, the rise of the Chinese nation's great age, should be in the global shinning and shining lighthouse forward human thought and the inexhaustible spiritual motivation.
