What are the main problems and challenges facing the internationalization of Chinese medicine?

Nowadays, the development potential of new drugs synthesized by human beings is becoming smaller, and the method of obtaining active ingredients from natural products is gradually emerging, which makes Chinese herbal medicines more and more valued, and the internationalization of Chinese medicines has become inevitable. As the birthplace of Chinese medicines, China, the traditional Chinese medicine powerhouse, is faced with a number of problems in the process of international marketing of Chinese medicines:

1. The results of the modernization of Chinese medicines are not obvious. Most of the Chinese medicines used in China follow the traditional usage, and the modernized processing of Chinese medicines, such as extraction, separation, refining, etc., lags behind Japan, South Korea and other countries due to the limitation of instruments and technology.

2. Many Chinese medicines do not meet the international testing standards. Such as heavy metals, pesticide residues exceed the standard

3. The varieties of Chinese medicine are confused. Variety identification work is not in place

4. Lack of unified and effective management tools, management is not strong enough.

5. Limited development of the level of science and technology. Resulting in the principle of analysis is difficult, not easy to be accepted.
