Chongqing Feb. 23 (xinhua) (reporter yu-fei zhao) now, not only overseas online shopping gens luxury goods, cosmetics and so on will be included in the cargo list, also bags from abroad to buy back all kinds of "western medicine", namely "Chinese prescription preparation of Chinese herbal medicine made from imports. The personage inside course of study thinks, the traditional Chinese medicine as the treasure of our traditional culture, improve the traditional Chinese medicinal materials quality standard system, improve the quality of the products is imminent.

Nearly two years, from more than 10 years of tour guide Yu Lin found that in addition to the relatives and friends from foreign luxury goods, cosmetics, South Korea's bezoar sedative liquid, Japan of kyushin pills, a growing number of "foreign Chinese medicine" has entered the list of entrusted purchase. "Although prices more expensive, but compared with domestic products," the traditional Chinese medicine "standardization degree is higher, the active ingredients, adverse reactions are marked very clearly, a more guaranteed quality."

Last year, Japan's kobayashi pharmaceutical company recently released kobayashi pharmaceutical products are Chinese tourists, bagging, second, sales in the third quarter year-on-year growth of five or six times last year. Several other Japanese production "Chinese prescription preparation" enterprise profits soared.

Have, according to the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a large market share of domestic Chinese medicine, and in the world outside of China in the global Chinese medicine market, Japan's market share is as high as 80%, China accounted for only 5%. Zhao Chaoting third military medical university xinqiao hospital of traditional Chinese medicine experts said that Chinese tourists snapping up "Chinese prescription preparation", is a foreign company conforms to the standards of Chinese medicinal materials, imported from China after deep processing production of proprietary Chinese medicine, combined with foreign language becomes a "foreign Chinese medicine". "Is gems of Chinese traditional culture, traditional Chinese medicine originally, appear this kind of phenomenon is worth thinking about."

Experts believe that this phenomenon reflects the lack of traditional Chinese medicine quality standard in our country and in registered patent, technology research and development.

"Traditional Chinese medicine was wild, but now is more large-scale cultivation, have a plenty of farmers plant, retail as to what kind of medicine is qualified, so far there is no clear standard, lead to problems such as fertilizers, abuse of Chinese medicinal materials, heavy metal exceeds bid is becoming more and more prominent." YouHongTao Watson pharmaceuticals group chairman said, "we have seen in some places, gastrodia elata was fertilizer have as big as sweet potatoes."

YouHongTao said, "the biggest advantage of the traditional Chinese medicine" is a high degree of quality standards, China's traditional exports, has often been considered unqualified products as the European and American countries. Since last year, has many kinds of proprietary Chinese medicine abroad was heavy metal exceeds bid.

At the same time, the traditional Chinese medicine enterprises in our country in the aspect of patent is also a disadvantage. Tai chi group chairman of the board Bai Lixi said: "tu research and development of artemisinin was awarded the Nobel Prize, but artemisinin enterprise core technology patents have been Switzerland, greatly affected the domestic market development of related products."

The reporter understands, quite a number of domestic Chinese medicine did not apply for patent. Such as the United States has a patent of a number of traditional Chinese medicine peppermint, earn high profits in the chewing gum market, traditional Chinese patent medicine bezoar sedative bolus has been South Korea patent application, now called bezoar sedative liquid...

In addition, medical scholars abroad and manufacturers are committed to seeking clues to new drugs from the plant medicine, the technical research and development in one of the most important position. Ginkgo biloba purchase price per kilogram, for example, a few yuan, Germany developed from ginkgo biloba leaves step-down lipid-lowering drugs, these drugs market prices as high as hundreds of yuan.

"Traditional Chinese medicine keeping in good health to pay attention to the raw material of authentic," Chinese "is the first guarantee high quality products." YouHongTao said, shall establish perfect quality standard system of Chinese medicine, Chinese herbal medicine planting of each link, for example, such as planting density and water per acre, the use of pesticides, fertilizers and so on to make detailed provisions, but cannot comply with the standards of western medicine, to establish a quality standard on the basis of the traditional Chinese medicine efficacy. At the same time, but also improve the relevant laws and regulations, the relevant departments should make severe punishment for the use of banned pesticides and other irregularities.
