Promoting the globalization of TCM. Traditional Chinese medicine has been spread to 183 countries and regions around the world. According to the World Health Organization, 103 member states have given approval to the practice of acupuncture and moxibustion, 29 have enacted special statutes on traditional medicine, and 18 have included acupuncture and moxibustion treatment in their medical insurance provisions. TCM medicines have gradually entered the international system of medicines, and some of them have been registered in Russia, Cuba, Vietnam, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, and other nations. Some 30 countries and regions have opened a couple of hundred TCM schools to train native TCM workers. The World Federation of Acupuncture-Moxibustion Societies, headquartered in China, has 194 member organizations from 53 countries and regions, and the World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies has 251 member organizations from 67 countries and regions. Traditional Chinese medicine has become an important area of health and trade cooperation between China and the ASEAN, EU, Africa, and Central and Eastern Europe, a key component in people-to-people exchanges between China and the rest of the world and between Eastern and Western cultures, and an important vehicle for China and other countries to work together in promoting world peace, improving the well-being of humanity, and developing a community of shared future. |
| 支持国际传统医药发展。中国政府致力于推动国际传统医药发展，与世界卫生组织保持密切合作，为全球传统医学发展作出贡献。中国总结和贡献发展中医药的实践经验，为世界卫生组织于2008年在中国北京成功举办首届传统医学大会并形成《北京宣言》发挥了重要作用。在中国政府的倡议下，第62届、67届世界卫生大会两次通过《传统医学决议》，并敦促成员国实施《世卫组织传统医学战略（2014－2023年）》。目前，中国政府与相关国家和国际组织签订中医药合作协议86个，中国政府已经支持在海外建立了10个中医药中心。 |
Supporting the global development of traditional medicine. The Chinese government is dedicated to promoting the development of traditional medicine throughout the world, and works closely with the WHO to contribute to progress in traditional medicine around the globe. China has summarized its successful TCM practices and offers them to the world. It hosted the first WHO Congress on Traditional Medicine in Beijing in 2008, and played an important role in drafting the Beijing Declaration. In accordance with initiatives of the Chinese government, the 62nd and 67th World Health Assemblies passed two resolutions on traditional medicine, and urged its member states to implement the WHO's Traditional Medicine Strategy 2014-2023. Currently, the Chinese government has signed 86 TCM cooperation agreements with other countries and international organizations, and has supported the building of 10 TCM centers overseas. |
| 促进国际中医药规范管理。为促进中医药在全球范围内的规范发展，保障安全、有效、合理应用，中国推动在国际标准化组织（ISO）成立中医药技术委员会（ISO/TC249），秘书处设在中国上海，目前已发布一批中医药国际标准。在中国推动下，世界卫生组织将以中医药为主体的传统医学纳入新版国际疾病分类（ICD-11）。积极推动传统药监督管理国际交流与合作，保障传统药安全有效。 |
Promoting standard management of TCM internationally. To promote the orderly development of TCM around the globe and ensure its safe, efficient and targeted application, China has facilitated the founding of the ISO/TC249 Traditional Chinese Medicine in the ISO. With its secretariat in Shanghai, it has now issued a series of ISO standards on TCM. Thanks to China's efforts, the WHO has included traditional medicine, represented by TCM, in the new version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). China is working actively to promote international exchange and cooperation in the supervision and management of traditional medicine, in an effort to ensure that it is safe and effective. |
| 开展中医药对外援助。中国在致力于自身发展的同时，坚持向发展中国家提供力所能及的援助，承担相应国际义务。目前，中国已向亚洲、非洲、拉丁美洲的70多个国家派遣了医疗队，基本上每个医疗队中都有中医药人员，约占医务人员总数的10%。在非洲国家启动建设中国中医中心，在科威特、阿尔及利亚、突尼斯、摩洛哥、马耳他、纳米比亚等国家还设有专门的中医医疗队（点）。截至目前，中国政府在海外支持建立了10个中医药中心。近年来，中国加强在发展中国家特别是非洲国家开展艾滋病、疟疾等疾病防治，先后派出中医技术人员400余名，分赴坦桑尼亚、科摩罗、印度尼西亚等40多个国家。援外医疗队采用中药、针灸、推拿以及中西医结合方法治疗了不少疑难重症，挽救了许多垂危病人的生命，得到受援国政府和人民的充分肯定。 |
Providing TCM medical aid overseas. While seeking its own development, within its capacity China has persisted in providing aid and assistance to other developing countries, fulfilling its due international obligations. To date, China has sent medical teams to over 70 countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, with TCM professionals in almost every team, accounting for 10 percent of the total number of staff. A project has been launched to build TCM centers in African countries, and specialized TCM stations have opened in Kuwait, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Malta, and Namibia. The Chinese government has sponsored 10 TCM centers overseas. In recent years, China has strengthened work in the prevention and control of AIDS and malaria in developing countries, and in African countries in particular, sending a total of 400 TCM specialists to more than 40 countries including Tanzania, Comoros, and Indonesia. Chinese medical teams have treated complicated and refractory diseases with TCM, acupuncture and moxibustion, medical massage, and methods combining Chinese and Western medicine, saving many lives and winning extensive appreciation from governments and people concerned. |
