China is also using its growing international influence to promote this form of medicine overseas. For the first time, the World Health Organization will endorse these remedies by including a chapter on this subject in its next publication of the International Classification of Diseases. Diplomats from Beijing are also lobbying in Cites to loosen controls on the trade in other species used in traditional medicine.

Yes, that is also really hosed up, and yes, private health care is a travesty. I hate quacks and assholes who prey on the sick whatever form they take. However, this isn't the alternative medicine thread, or the privatize healthcare is a loving disaster thread, this is the China thread.

Usage of them is to be restricted, it says, to patients at approved hospitals with “critical” conditions or “difficult and complicated illnesses”. Private trade in those animals’ parts remains prohibited.

So pretty much instead of a total and it's still widely banned and parts can only be sourced from farmed animals or those that died of natural causes. Not sure what the outrage is coming from.

Between 1960 and 1975 the population of the northern white rhino went from an estimated 2000 to 500. I'm sure it was the chinese who are responsible for this

Because white leftists are utterly incapable of criticizing china without being racist or orientalist dickheads.

Inasmuch as societies discovered e.g. plants with anti-inflammatory properties before anybody had ever heard of Aspirin, that's great, nobody objects to root tea or whatever for aching joints. But that's not really what we're talking about.

my argument that it's not an issue given climate change and also the massive poaching by americans that eclipses chinese poaching (that is somehow not part of this discussion????) for trophies and is part of the general "chinese are amoral devils" lie

Interesting, could there be a foreign policy or ulterior motive why the white media is so focused on China while vietnam is the largest consumer?
