Traditional Chinese medicine itself to further enhance the competitive power in the international market, established in the world of traditional medicine of traditional Chinese medicine in China, the dominant position by previous passive adaptation has international standards development pattern to explore the traditional Chinese medicine with I give priority to international cooperation and exchange.

Senior government "must be in Washington between traditional Chinese medicine diplomacy", the high-level government contacts, negotiation for melody. Strengthen the Chinese government with foreign government officials of contact, will the import and export of traditional Chinese medicine into the state of multilateral trade talks with governments, expand cooperation in traditional Chinese medicine of traditional Chinese medicines, and laws, regulations and policies of market access, market supervision exchanges and cooperation.

Traditional Chinese medicine is China's unique health resources, China is the few with independent intellectual property rights and internationally competitive advantage with certain one of the industries. Historically, the spread of TCM has been our international cultural science communication and trade with one of the leading role.

However, as the national treasure knowledge wealth Chinese medicine so far has impassable in Occident mainstream medicine market. Therefore, further comb China international development policies and strategies of traditional Chinese medicine, the summary of experience, research, exploration, adjustment under the new situation internationalized development of traditional Chinese medicine national strategy policy direction; In "1025" programming find good foothold, to promote national TCM products in the international medicine market wide circulation, the development of national industries, improve the academic level of traditional Chinese medicine and spreading Chinese culture has important strategic significance.

At present the situation of Chinese medicine international challenges

Gradually gained international recognition, in the development of international breakthrough

At present, acupuncture has in most countries made legal status, TCM in Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, Victoria, the united Arab emirates and South Africa in state and local government legislation form recognized in America and Europe, traditional Chinese medicine has developed country won the approval certificate of new drug clinical trials. Traditional Chinese medical treatment international market scale is expanding, international organization and staff of traditional Chinese medical treatment increased rapidly, some also established the TCM hospital.

At present, the distribution of more than 130 countries in the world of traditional Chinese medical treatment (acupuncture) agency is home to more than 50,000, acupuncturist more than 200,000, more than 2 million registered doctors, each year about 30% of the locals, more than 70 percent of Chinese medicine health care treatment received.

TCM overseas talents team is formed, overseas education started the formal education, many countries have established the Chinese medicine academic society and some regional Chinese medicine academic groups, international academic groups are continually establish Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine scientific research started by governments around the world, scientific research institution and pharmaceutical enterprise's attention. Can say, Chinese medicine internationalization is in prophase of large-scale breakthrough.

TCM products going international market share hysteresis

So far, except the acupuncture external, traditional Chinese medicine is not yet in international mainstream medical health care system, traditional Chinese medicine also failed to enter Europe with drug form, its application in developed country markets is still mainly confined to Chinese, overseas Chinese live quite centralized cities and regions, 70% of TCM products by export of Chinese traditional culture still affecting more deep Asian traditional market mainly. Traditional Chinese medicine enterprise small scale, low input in technology, the international market the depth development, Chinese traditional medicine is just starting to international market brand product, the international competitiveness of the industry of Chinese lack of low, exports account for international herbal market share is small.

In traditional Chinese medicine in 2009, each single commodity, extract and Chinese herbal medicine trade are surplus, extract of TCM products export total export of the development, the highest; Chinese herbal medicine yinpian exports accounted for Chinese medicine products export total 37.92%, the second; Proprietary Chinese medicine and health products trade deficit, proprietary Chinese medicine trade after appear after 2008, appear the 2nd deficit deficit were slightly growth forehead. Although our country to North America and eu exports rise year by year, but as these countries to health food safety standards of the mining industry quality improvement and regulatory measures to strengthen the region, China export will likely a slowdown.

TCM international exchanges and cooperation wander at a low level

Over the last 20 years of development, our country and the world 70 countries (regions) of TCM cooperation signed contains, among which the government agreement 89 TCM cooperation agreement specially for 34. However, these agreements lack of substantial cooperation more than the connotation, the exchanges with low level, the general to ordinary visit primarily, substantive cooperation is less.

According to statistics, 2004 to 2008 in China, to develop the international friends of TCM cooperation, in its purpose of visit exchange visits statistics found that the total number of to visit 39.9%; Medical accounted for 26.4%; Education for 13.5 percent. And visitors to Hong Kong, Macao, northeast Asia still mainly South Korea and Japan. Although visitor quantity, Chinese medicine increase short-term training and long-term degree education workers also growing, but a large number still with acupuncture training primarily.

But in the five years, China's staff, in scientific research academic exchange visits, account for most of the total number of 38%; Also, each year the aspects is basically the same proportion. Should say, international cooperation and exchange in TCM is the goal of treatment technology in medicine will, methods, equipment and traditional Chinese medicine treatment of diseases ideological and theoretical system pushed into the international medical market, in international drug market take bigger share. And from the current development situation look, since the reform and opening up, especially the "11th five-year plan" period, Chinese medicine during the five years of international cooperation and exchange has made significant progress, but the cooperation and communication must further parenchyma.

"In my primarily" into the international development strategy adjustment process

Although the world has more than 90 countries established plant medicine registered standard, but on the whole, western main or reference standard, and work. Chinese medicine product quality control and production process, pharmacology and toxicology, clinical evaluation and product registration, standard modern western medicine and cannot completely modelled herbal medicine. TCM characteristic, with the international society generally accepted standards is yet to be established. So in order to further improve the TCM competitive power in the international market, established in the world of traditional medicine of traditional Chinese medicine in China, the dominant already began gradually adjusted by TCM international development strategy, the passive adapt international standards before the development model to explore a I give priority to tone of international cooperation and exchange of traditional Chinese medicine, and promote the international society to the understanding of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine with represented the popularization and application of traditional medicine, which drive our country as a breakthrough, improvement of science and technology competitiveness.

In 2006, China's first issued by ministry of big science international technology cooperation plan - the international technology cooperation plan "TCM. This planning is the Chinese government formulated first initiative international big science engineering research plan, committed to worldwide Chinese medicine in constructing international technology cooperation network, promote Chinese medicine in-depth development of international technology cooperation.

The central ministries and local governments at different levels are increased international technology cooperation of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine support to the international technology cooperation attracted international attention and the warm response, Italy, France and other countries in China and has signed a special traditional Chinese medical science and technology cooperation agreement. The European Union in making FP7 plan (the seventh r&d framework plan) (2006 ~ 2013), investment 60 billion euros support health fields such as international technology cooperation, TCM traditional medicine is a focus of concern.

Ministry of science and technology and the European commission research ZongSi in June 2007 in Rome jointly held the "central TCM congress", the central traditional Chinese medical science and technology cooperation to determine the key content. The European commission and then in 2008, under the framework programme in FP7 into 100 million euros, the first project funding in Chinese Medicine as the theme, "the Post genome Era - the study of standardization (Chinese Medicine in different would benefit in the true way genomic Era Post - the GP - TCM)" project, from central Europe 28 most influence of universities, Research institutions and enterprises, more than 100 TCM Research in the famous experts formed "TCM study of standardization cooperation" take that project.

Visible, China should give priority to me as soon as possible to strengthen international guided the formulation of standards of traditional medicine, enhance our Chinese medicine on the dominant global of traditional medicine.

Under the new situation internationalized development strategic direction medicine

"The culture of TCM" give priority to driving force

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is deeply rooted in Chinese traditional culture and philosophy in, and western cultural background and thinking mode has a big difference, and on the basis of ancient Chinese medicine academic language expression way of primitive simplicity esoteric, more big international society to the difficulty of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) understanding.

Therefore, to make the western countries understand the connotation of TCM theoretical system of TCM culture must come first, Chinese medicine knowledge into China, traditional culture dissemination and promotion, gradually the system of advancing the world's countries and areas of the traditional Chinese medicine knowledge system about the public understand and agree to drive TCM medical, industry, the international development of science and technology.

At the same time, we should vigorously develop TCM education, Chinese medicine education to international Chinese and Chinese traditional culture education mutual build-up, mutual promoting, make people across the world in contact in the process of Chinese culture in ancient China, the nature of understanding of epistemology and methodology, the differences between Chinese and western medicine understanding, trust, TCM diagnosis curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of accept.

Top government "TCM diplomatic" for the main melody

In recent years, with the natural medicine research and development of foreign countries and the upsurge of escalating, the integration of the global economy, the Chinese increasingly fierce competition in the international market. Many countries of the world (especially developed countries), in order to ensure their market in international herbs, unceasingly through drug safety and interests of measures to strengthen environmental protection of Chinese imports of management measures, formulate or improve the quality related technical requirements, increase the difficulty of TCM to enter the international market.

Therefore, at present our country is still not a TCM drug registration by countries in Europe and America clearance. The eu to include Chinese medicine, though conventional drugs set a registration transition, but today, our country still is registered successfully without a drug. The regulations about TCM all countries of the world has become an important obstacle of traditional Chinese medicine.

In these conditions, rely on enterprise or research institutes and other civil behavior has not solve the problem. Must carry out top government "TCM diplomacy", the government of high-level contacts, negotiations between for melody. Strengthen the Chinese government with foreign government officials of contact, will the import and export of traditional Chinese medicine into the state of multilateral trade talks with governments, expand cooperation in traditional Chinese medicine of traditional Chinese medicines, and laws, regulations and policies of market access, market supervision communication and cooperation, prompting Chinese medicine into local mainstream education, scientific research, production and clinical institutions and medical health insurance service system, with the national and the government the power to enter the international scientific community and Chinese medicine pharmaceutical care mainstream markets provide a strong support.

"I give priority to, keep characteristic" primarily direction

Because of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern medicine is built on completely different theoretical system, if stubbornly above with modern medicine to measure the framework of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), with western medicine theory system to remake the western medicine, according to the theory, method and standardization of TCM internationalization development demand propulsion, resulting in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) unable to own rules to develop TCM treatment, loses advantages and characteristics.

Therefore, in the process of internationalization development of traditional Chinese medicine, must insist on "I give priority to, keep characteristic" TCM internationalization development strategy principal direction. In this policy, under the guidance of "to perfect our Lord" TCM laws, regulations, standards and norms; And keep the essencial etiopathogenesis, TCM "dialectical features overall view" of theoretical system of government under the former title, senior "TCM diplomacy" for the theme of traditional Chinese medicine's political background of international diplomacy, carry out government exchanges and cooperation between Chinese medicine of traditional Chinese medicine, makes the health resources into international market, avoid becoming mainstream western medical plant resource supplier.
