China accounts for almost 95% of the global TCM market, but 90% of the TCM market is occupied by Japan.
Why Japan learned Chinese Chinese medicine in this way, I can't help but say: "The Japanese learn things so quickly, we Chinese are worried."
How much of the Chinese medicine sold is produced in China itself, which also plunges China into a state of sorrow.
Traditional Chinese medicine market.
China occupies a 95% share of the global TCM market, and it can be said that it almost holds the dominance of TCM.
There are many types of traditional Chinese medicine, and each of them can play a role in treating diseases and the effect of medicine to a certain extent, and the function of traditional Chinese medicine is very powerful.
The popularity of Chinese medicine is also widespread, not only by ordinary people, but also by patients in some hospitals.
However, more than 10 years ago, our Chinese traditional Chinese medicine was once hit by the Shenyang Pharmacy incident, when a hospital used "dirty Chinese medicine" for patients, but patients and their families did not know about it, and it was only when they doubted the efficacy of the hospital that they went to the health supervision office where the hospital was located for testing.
In order to reduce expenses, hospitals are also making some small moves in the procurement of traditional Chinese medicine, and some poor-quality traditional Chinese medicine has become the first choice of hospitals because of its low price, and the widely used traditional Chinese medicine is called "dirty Chinese medicine".
However, the market chaos of traditional Chinese medicine has not been reduced, and there have been signs of intensification in recent years.
What is the concept of market chaos of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, some unscrupulous merchants will counterfeit some traditional Chinese medicine, they will package some very poor quality traditional Chinese medicine, and attach the label of traditional Chinese medicine for sale, these traditional Chinese medicine has many problems, such as some traditional Chinese medicine will be doped with chemical components, and some traditional Chinese medicine will be doped with other plant ingredients, causing patients to use this drug when using the drug will have a worse effect, and will cause greater harm to patients.
Sold Chinese medicine.
A large part of the traditional Chinese medicine produced in China is sold abroad, which has plunged China into a state of misery.
In 2019, the number of traditional Chinese medicines produced in China exceeded 4 million tons, and the output of so many traditional Chinese medicines can not only meet the needs of the domestic market, but also export some traditional Chinese medicines to foreign countries for sale.
Some of the exported traditional Chinese medicine will be exported through official channels, but there will also be some traditional Chinese medicine through unofficial secret channels, and after the Chinese medicine produced in China flows to other countries, it will be repackaged by unofficial merchants, and a so-called origin will be forged, and then sold at a higher price, and most of the Chinese traditional Chinese medicine will be bought by the Japanese after flowing abroad, and this situation has continued until now.
As early as more than ten years ago, Japan was the largest exporter of traditional Chinese medicine, and a large number of traditional Chinese medicine materials were imported from China every year.
This involves a situation where the Japanese saw the value created by Chinese traditional medicine, so they sent some people to China to study and buy, and after completing their studies, they returned to Japan and produced and sold them, thus making huge profits.
During this period, they did not produce all the traditional Chinese medicines they bought, but left some of the raw materials of traditional Chinese medicines, and stopped nearly 60% of the traditional Chinese medicines, and then sold them at a higher price.
When Japan first started buying Chinese medicine, not much attention was paid to it, and the Chinese government did not strictly stop Japan, so the Japanese saw a business opportunity and continued to buy and sell Chinese medicine.
Eventually, Japan accounted for almost 90% of the world's traditional Chinese medicine market, and the Chinese government began to notice that Japan's practice violated international trade rules, so it criticized Japan and established rules.
But the Japanese did not pay attention to it, and they bought and sold Chinese medicine at a lower price than the Chinese medicine by buying it at a lower price, and then selling it at two to three times higher than the Chinese price.
When the inventory of traditional Chinese medicine in the region is insufficient, they will purchase traditional Chinese medicine from other regions, so that when it is the export season of traditional Chinese medicine in China, they will export traditional Chinese medicine to China and carry out the second round of traditional Chinese medicine production and sales.
Japan's production of other people's traditional Chinese medicine for sale is undoubtedly another form of harm to traditional Chinese medicine, but the Chinese government has not stopped the Japanese trade in traditional Chinese medicine because it is powerless, and all China can do is to regard this behavior of the Japanese as a kind of "helplessness".
Traditional Chinese medicine is practiced in Japan.
How did Japan learn to make Chinese medicine, and why were they able to sell 90% of Chinese medicine?
In fact, this is all because of the fighting spirit of the Japanese, and they have found a reason for their easy life.
The opportunity for the Japanese to learn Chinese medicine was during World War II, when the Japanese were constantly retreating on the battlefield, were beaten to the Nanyang Islands on the border, and were robbed by the ridiculed US military, so the Japanese government tried to find another way out from the country.
Eventually, they decided to learn how to make Chinese medicine, so they locked some masters who were proficient in Chinese medicine and began to learn Chinese medicine under their leadership.
However, at that time, the Chinese civil war had just ended, and the Japanese sent people to China to ask for advice with "letters and gifts", but the Chinese side returned the Japanese gifts, and the Japanese did not learn the production of Chinese medicine at that time, so they kidnapped the master first.
When the Chinese government found out, they immediately rescued the master from the Japanese, but China negotiated with Japan later, and the two countries finally reached an agreement to allow the Japanese to go to China to learn how to make Chinese medicine.
This has planted another hidden danger for China.
The Japanese returned to China after studying Chinese medicine almost after learning it, and it was not long before Japan acquired Chinese medicine from China, which made the Japanese see business opportunities.
After purchasing a large number of raw materials for traditional Chinese medicine, they did not produce traditional Chinese medicine, but stored the raw materials, and then purchased traditional Chinese medicine from China after the traditional Chinese medicine was out of stock.
epilogue
How many Chinese medicines are sold in Japan and produced in China?
Japan occupies 90% of the Chinese medicine market sold in China, how many Chinese medicines are left in China?
This feeling of picking up people's teeth is sad, and China can only regard this "helplessness" as a kind of "perfunctory" for China.
Not to mention learning Chinese medicine, even learning technology is also very fast for Japanese people to learn, which makes people feel a kind of "worry"!
I hope that China can get out of this "sorrow" of traditional Chinese medicine.
