TCM is Highly Regulated in the PRC!

China: Hou [侯] Family Sentenced for Fake TCM Treatment – Full Story! (18.2.2025)

There is a tradition within Chinese culture of “Master to Disciple” transmission of spiritual, medicinal, and martial culture (I know – as I have been a recipient and beneficiary of it). This still occurs within the Chinese diaspora – and it still happens in Mainland China – but with the caveat that modern China requires a rigorous professional approach when it comes to medicine and selling treatments to the public. TCM has been aligned with the educational standards of modern medicine – both of which are available to Chinese citizens. In fact, there are entire hospitals dedicated to TCM within which all the staff are university-educated. Mainland TCM doctors also have surgeries throughout the West – and are often not cheap to consult (although some offered “free” treatment to Westerners during the Covid-19 Pandemic). Regardless, a number of law-abiding citizens in China disagree with what the Hou family has experienced via the PRC Judiciary.

Socialist Science - Ageing Population!

China: Friendly Community Built for Seniors with Cognitive Impairments! (6.1.2025)

It outlines efforts to encourage the setup of memory-related clinics in healthcare institutions and cognitive impairment departments in eligible hospitals, with improved standard for senile dementia diagnosis and treatment.

“Good nursing is crucial for people with Alzheimer’s disease,” said PUMCH doctor Gao Jing, adding that a healthy lifestyle and medication are also important to fight the disease.

To boost the provision of nursing services, the plan also outlines a model integrating home, community and institution-based care for senile dementia, and encourages the construction of caregiving facilities in rural and urban communities.

By 2030, dedicated care units for seniors with dementia will account for 50 percent of elderly care institutions with over 100 beds and adequate services capabilities, and 15 million people will be trained for dementia care, according to the plan.

Superbug - Linked to Rifaximin!

Australia: Research Confirms Common Antibiotic [Rifaximin] Linked to Rise of Dangerous Superbug! (24.10.2024)

Glen Carter, senior author of the study from the University of Melbourne and the Doherty Institute, said the study challenges the previously-held belief that rifaximin is low-risk for causing AMR.

“We’ve shown that rifaximin makes VRE resistant to daptomycin in a way that has not been seen before,” he said in a media release.

“It is also of concern that these daptomycin-resistant VRE might be transmitted to other patients in the hospital; a hypothesis that we are presently investigating.”

The authors of the new study said the findings highlight the critical need for effective genomics-based surveillance to detect emerging AMR.

Madam Hu Youping - Hero!

China: Japan Exhibits Rare Display of Respect for Hu Youping (胡友平) – Brave Chinese National! (28.6.2024)

The embassy flew the flag at half-mast and commended on Chinese social media platform Weibo that Hu’s courage and kindness represented the spirit of the broader Chinese population.

On June 24, around 4 p.m., a knife attack occurred at a bus station in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, resulting in injuries to three people.

The suspect was swiftly apprehended. Hu was severely injured while preventing the suspect from attacking the Japanese mother and son on the spot and unfortunately passed away on Wednesday.

Of the two Japanese individuals, one is being treated in the hospital without life-threatening danger while the other has been discharged.

China Deploys Free Socialist Medicine!

China: PLA Hospital Ship “Peace Ark” Embarks on “Socialist” Medical Mission! (16.6.2024)

During the mission, the ship will visit 13 countries, namely, Seychelles, Tanzania, Madagascar, Mozambique, South Africa, Angola, the Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Cameroon, Benin, Mauritania, Djibouti and Sri Lanka, and provide medical service to local people. It will also make port calls to France and Greece.

This is the 10th Mission Harmony for “Peace Ark” since its commissioning in 2008. The “Peace Ark” will offer free diagnosis and treatment for common and prevalent diseases to local residents, people in Chinese institutions, and overseas Chinese through onboard clinics and dispatched medical teams.

There are over 100 personnel on board the maritime hospital, featuring 17 clinical departments and 5 auxiliary diagnostic departments.

The “Peace Ark” is the first domestically designed and constructed standard ocean-going hospital ship in China. It has visited 45 countries and regions, providing medical services to over 290,000 people.

Socialist Medical Technology in China!

China: Researchers Develop Injectable – Biodegradable Gel-Based Sensors! (7.6.2024)

The gel-based miniaturized sensor, a set of 2-millimetre cube-shaped sensors, is implanted within the intracranial space using a puncture needle and capable of independently measuring intracranial pressure, temperature, pH, and flow rate. The sensor made of hydrogel will dissolve in the body within weeks without surgery.

It exhibits excellent sensing capabilities, comparable to those of conventional non-resorbable wired clinical benchmarks. In the future, this sensor can also be applied to other parts of the human body, which is expected to bring a new technology paradigm for clinical intelligent diagnosis and treatment.
