Traditional Chinese medicine research 

The Chinese government is going to increase basic research into traditional Chinese medicine:

"There will be three sub-projects focusing on herbal medicine prescriptions, using modern science to study traditional medicine, and research into acupuncture and Jingluo — a traditional classification of 'channels' connecting different parts of the body, which combines the nervous and blood systems.

Cheng Jinpei, vice-minister of science and technology, said on 15 July that the variety of remedies and of branches of traditional medicine, meant that long-term research had failed to draw many scientific conclusions about it.

By including traditional medicine in the 973 Programme, the government would support systematic research into its central theories, said Cheng."
