More let li is memorable, he in the United States, Canada, Turkey and other countries, also received local white massage and acupuncture treatment of traditional Chinese medicine services. "A lot of foreign friends like Chinese culture, opened a lot of private clinic of TCM. In the local Chinese medicine gradually abroad 'ground', has huge development potential and good momentum."

The road of internationalization of the soil

- the government cold heat, lack of international talents, lack of cultural identity

"Industry of traditional Chinese medicine by the medicine, teaching and research, production and other various forms, effectively expand the popularization and application of all over the world. Some countries have Chinese medicine into the national management framework. But for a long time, 'the government cold heat, folk traditional Chinese medicine is still in a foreign country facing the embarrassing situation: one of the private demand for traditional Chinese medicine gradually heating up, but the foreign government reaction is not very active. In many countries, the traditional Chinese medicine is still in the gray area, no legal status, also the lack of legal protection." When talking about internationalization of Chinese medicine present situation, the state administration of traditional Chinese medicine TCM doctor qualification certification center, said chief expert professor, Beijing university of Chinese medicine Liu Jingyuan internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine still faces many obstacles.

Liu Jingyuan also pointed out that the lack of high-level international professional talents of Chinese medicine, the international Chinese medicine health service talent level is uneven, especially in the overseas Chinese medicine practitioners, "Chinese medicine" cook "the guide of TCM" number. In addition, the education of Chinese medicine development imbalance, there are gaps in the quality of teaching, to a certain extent, also affect the development of the internationalization of Chinese medicine education. "The output of the high-level international professional talents of Chinese medicine, cannot ignore the problems of talent education." Liu Jingyuan said.

The participating experts agree that cultural difference is one of the main obstacles of overseas development of Chinese medicine. In the face of the actual condition of Yin and Yang, cold and warm terminology, foreigners living in different context, it is hard to understand the meaning of them. "Couldn't say for sure, or another, don't understand" as in the present situation of the overseas development of Chinese medicine. If medical treatment theory, theory of medicines, the lack of cultural identity, can only forever in the way of "going out" of Chinese medicine.

From foreign doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine internationalization

- go out and introducing, cultivating compound talents, build cooperative community

Facing the bottleneck of the internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine, participants called for, the current should with "foreign" of traditional Chinese medicine for the gripper, closely to serve his country, "area" development strategy, to build international communication platform of traditional Chinese medicine, the internationalization of Chinese medicine talents team, enhance the voice in the world of traditional Chinese medicine health system, in the world advocate "communication mutual learning, sharing and construction of health human fate community" an important concept.

In view of the problems such as cultural differences and barriers to technology, the ministry of foreign affairs MeiDaSi before the chief priests umedaira argues that under the adhere to the idea of "diplomacy" of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine internationalization is not only to promote the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine "going out", also make the patient: "introducing" on the one hand, can be sent medical clinics abroad yizhen. Both massage and acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine has its own characteristics, let patients experience abroad, to expand the influence of the traditional Chinese medicine; Training of Chinese medicine, on the other hand, the foreign interested in traditional Chinese medicine, or already open clinics abroad are invited to come over, talent training.

"In recent years, our country have been shut out of the traditional Chinese medicine products, mostly fall under the" green trade barrier ". Compared with the developed countries, our country in the aspect of Chinese herbal medicine planting of heavy metal, pesticide residue control of late, and some developed countries in order to protect their interests in international herbs on the market, also continue to strengthen to the management of the import of Chinese medicine." Liu Jingyuan believes that the future will further play to the advantages of natural medicine in China, can be established by overseas cooperation center of traditional Chinese medicine as the carrier, or where the environmental conditions appropriate, establish a base of Chinese herbal medicine; Or according to the laws of country background, to give priority to with cultural transmission, popular science knowledge popularization of education and training, etc.

At present, Chinese medical association branch of international exchanges and cooperation have reached an agreement with Beijing foreign studies university created the "international college of traditional Chinese medicine". In addition, and Cuba and other foreign well-known university construction measures such as "ZhongYiXi" are all in the plot.

"China national medical association international exchanges and cooperation with branch was set up for more than a year, is committed to promoting between China and the world of traditional medicine and health service exchange and cooperation, promote global share in the form of a more diverse in traditional Chinese medicine." The vice President and secretary-general of "thought, the path of internationalization of Chinese medicine without official agencies and private organizations together.
