In response to the recent incident that Chinese patent medicines were found to contain heavy metal ingredients and pesticide residues, Wang Lian, a spokesperson for the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said in Beijing on the 27th that it is necessary to understand this issue scientifically and fairly, and further strengthen the testing of the planting environment of Chinese medicinal materials.

In June this year, Greenpeace released a report that some Chinese medicinal materials were found to have pesticide residues, including Tongrentang and Yunnan Baiyao. The UK also recently issued a warning that some proprietary Chinese medicines contain heavy metals, following similar reports from Hong Kong and Sweden.

"This incident first involves the issue of standards. Both at home and abroad have their own production standards. "Wang Lian said that in recent years, China's drug supervision has been continuously strengthened, and the quality of drugs has been continuously improved. All Chinese medicinal materials, Chinese herbal pieces, and Chinese patent medicines that have been strictly approved and listed by the national drug regulatory agency are in compliance with corresponding laws and regulations..

Wang Lian pointed out that traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine are the experience accumulated by the Chinese nation in the long-term struggle against diseases for thousands of years. They are medical sciences with Chinese characteristics condensed under the guidance of Chinese holistic and philosophical views. Under the long-term application and the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory, the experience of famous Chinese medicine experts in the past dynasties has been summarized and refined. The traditional Chinese medicine under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory is safe and effective, and has made important contributions to the development of world medicine.

Wang Lian emphasized that with the development of contemporary science and technology, including changes in the living environment, disease spectrum, health concepts, and the application of high technology in the research and development and production of Chinese medicine, our understanding of Chinese medicine is constantly deepening. With the deepening of research, there will be more results to contribute to human health.
