"More and more foreigners are accepting and acknowledging the effectiveness and science behind TCM treatments. There's also a growing number of international students, including those from the US, coming to China to study TCM," said Walker.
Guo explained that TCM is a practical science, with its methods refined over thousands of years and proven effective.
"Like Western medicine, TCM has also evolved over the years. Today, TCM focuses more on developing methods with universal and broader impacts," he said. "As Chinese doctors practicing Western medicine, we've been developing treatments that combine both approaches and promoting them globally."
Guo highlighted the importance of cooperation between China and the US, as they are two of the most influential countries in the world.
"Our partnership will undoubtedly play a significant role in driving progress in the global medical industry," he said.
"The US has advanced medical technology and pharmaceutical research, while China has a large pool of experienced doctors and a rich heritage of TCM.Together, these strengths will inspire medical professionals from both countries, leading to collaborative efforts to combat common health challenges facing humanity."
