BEIJING -- Chinese Vice-Premier Liu Yandong Friday called for more efforts to promote traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) overseas. Liu made the remarks while meeting with representatives from the TCM industry Friday. China should improve scientific and technical support for TCM, educate more TCM professionals, and set up regulations, policies, management systems and evaluation systems for the industry, Liu said. The Law on Traditional Chinese Medicine will go into effect on July 1. With a history of more than 2,000 years, TCM is seen by many as a national treasure in China for its unique theories and practices, such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage and dietetics. There are 482,000 TCM doctors in China now. custom wrist sweatbandsrubber braceletsrubber bracelets custom cheap1 inch wide rubber bandsmake rubber braceletscheap custom wristbandswrist band com coupon code

The People's Armed Police Force unit in Shanghai aims to shoulder a greater role in working for the people in the context of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, while also meeting expectations for a stronger and more diverse military, according to officials. In addition to new volunteer activities to help improve society, the force has also shouldered the responsibility of maintaining social stability and guarding the nation's assets and pledged to focus on fighting terrorism and maintaining public order. Wang Yu, a member of the force's Shanghai squad, is the 71st docent - or tour guide - at the site of the Communist Party of China's First National Congress, which took place on July 23, 1921. As a member of the armed police, it's my privilege to introduce the history of the CPC and the development of the country to Chinese and foreign visitors, said Wang, who started as a guide last month.
