Talking about how Chinese medicine lags behind developed Western countries is actually quite frustrating.
Despite China's medical history spanning several thousand years, it has been overshadowed by Western medicine, which has a mere two hundred years of history.
Fortunately, in recent years, Chinese medicine has cleverly adopted the approach of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine, allowing it to survive.
And it is slowly rising.
The Chinese consensus is that while Chinese medicine treats the root, Western medicine treats the symptoms.
Furthermore, the international standing of Chinese medicine is also gradually improving.
Even many of Chinese medicine's therapeutic concepts are being studied abroad.
For instance, the latest cancer drugs developed are designed to release the seals on human immune T cells, relying on the body's own immunity to kill cancer cells.
This concept is actually based on traditional Chinese medical philosophy.
