In her view, traditional Chinese medicine service trade has higher product added value, which can promote structural adjustment of service trade, build services with Chinese characteristics, effectively stimulate the export of important products and enhance the country's soft power. The major advantages of Chinese traditional medicine service trade are as follows: Original advantages, completely independent property rights; has a long history, the ancient Silk Road in the formation of the time there is a Chinese medicine service; spread widely in 183 countries and regions; huge demand in the international market.
So far, Chinese medicine has spread to 183 countries and regions.

About 300,000 Chinese medicine practitioners are employed in these countries and regions.

First, the demand for traditional Chinese medicine in the "Belt and Road" countries has increased. From 2011 to 2014, Russia, France, Malaysia, Italy, Australia, Bahrain, More than 30 countries, including Qatar, Ukraine and Belarus, proposed to cooperate with China in various fields such as meeting with heads of state to establish a Chinese medicine center overseas and carry out cooperation in traditional Chinese medicine. Second, the development of traditional Chinese medicine in service trade was included in the "One Belt and One Road Initiative." 2015 Released the "Promote the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road Vision and Action" to expand cooperation in the field of traditional medicine was listed as one of the key cooperation.

Chinese medicine service trade development of the road how to go? Ministry of Commerce Research Institute of Service Trade Li Jun gives a few suggestions: to 'bring in' mainly support the conditional enterprise 'going out'; Taking foreign trade as the mode of service trade, giving consideration to the cross-border delivery, commercial presence and the flow of natural persons; the trade target is mainly developed or high-income countries and other countries are taken into consideration; cultural exchanges and cooperation are dominated by the 'One Belt and One Road' initiative and form the world Traditional medicine destiny community.
For example, he said that in going global, the state should actively help qualified Chinese medicine service providers to 'go global', including setting up Chinese medicine practitioners abroad hospital , Chinese medicine clinic, Chinese medicine school as well Chinese medicine Cultural Center, TCM Experience Center etc. In terms of 'bringing in', it includes attracting overseas consumers to receive services such as TCM diagnosis and treatment, traditional Chinese medicine health care, traditional Chinese medicine education and training, traditional Chinese medicine tourism and traditional Chinese medicine research outsourcing. They think that developing the Chinese medicine trade in services will also have to take a 'hesitation', such as hosting a world tradition medicine General Assembly, building medical free trade port.
