2013-11-26 source: First Financial Daily "in terms of the export of Chinese patent medicine, Japan accounts for 80% of the world's share, South Korea accounts for 15%, while China only accounts for 3% to 5% Traditional Chinese medicine has many difficulties in the international market." The executive director of China Development Research Institute and honorary chairman of the world natural medicine organization of the United Nations World Peace Foundation said at the "International Health Forum and 2013 annual meeting of editor in chief of the Encyclopedia of Chinese medicine" held recently Zhang Qi explained that the biggest reason for restricting the internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine is that some of the standards originally formulated by the government can not keep up with the development of the situation, and the standards are still low, reaching the standards in China, but getting a test abroad often seriously exceeds the standards According to Zhang Qi, at present, traditional Chinese medicine has no drug status in foreign countries as a whole It is only used as a healthy food No traditional Chinese medicine product has passed drug approval in developed countries in Europe and the United States In addition, due to the influence of product quality, competition strategy and other factors, traditional Chinese medicine mainly meets the demand of domestic market, and is not developed enough in the international market, resulting in the small share of traditional Chinese medicine in the international herbal market Chinese herbal medicines exported abroad are often processed abroad and then sold back to China, from which foreign enterprises earn high profits Such an export mode is obviously unfavorable to the development of traditional Chinese medicine in China In 2012, the export value of Chinese herbal extracts was US $1.13 billion, accounting for 48.5% of the export value of Chinese herbal medicines The export value of Chinese herbal medicines and decoction pieces was US $0.7 billion, accounting for 33% of the export value of Chinese herbal medicines Gao Sihua, President of Beijing University of traditional Chinese medicine, said that the development of traditional Chinese medicine in foreign countries is becoming more and more difficult due to many reasons, different cultural cognition, different thinking modes of traditional Chinese medicine and modern thinking modes Secondly, there is the problem of scientific standards and evaluation system At the beginning, foreign countries did not regard traditional Chinese medicine as medicinal materials, but as food additives According to the drug standard of food, the detection of traditional Chinese medicine is very limited
