As traditional Chinese medicine gains popularity in Southeast Asian countries, industry insiders say they are eying the expansion of TCM medicinal herb cultivation overseas to make such therapies more accessible.
"Traditional Chinese medicine is very popular in Cambodia because it can treat a variety of diseases," said Nhek Soparama, minister counselor of the Cambodian embassy in China. "Over the past two years, more than 20,000 Cambodians have received TCM treatment."
She was speaking at the 2024 China-ASEAN Traditional Chinese Medicine Industry Exchange and Promotion Conference, which was held recently in Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi province.
