Chinese medicine popular along BRI routes

Chinese officials and businesses are seeking opportunities to export traditional Chinese medicine to Central and Eastern European (or CEE) countries, against the backdrop of the country's Belt and Road Initiative.

Xu Lei, a counselor at TCM company Jimon Group in Anguo, a county-level city in Hebei province famous for its herbs since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), talked with business groups at a regional forum during his first visit to Poland.

"Many of them are quite interested in TCM and are willing to do business with my company," Xu said.
