Probe can get to root of case
The difference between the traditional Chinese medicinal herb and its new offspring may confuse the public since it is to do with the specialist field of plant taxonomy, which requires professional knowledge to understand. But, the public can easily understand the process by which the name of the medicinal plant has been changed, as it reflects a redistribution of interests. Moreover, whether such a process is normal and fair is of great concern to the public nowadays.

In reality, although it may be an isolated case of individuals getting illegal benefits by establishing a new rule, the situation of departments legalizing their interests in such a way exists elsewhere.
