During the symposium, President Zeng emphasized that Lishui is vigorously developing the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) health industry, with municipal authorities showing strong commitment to local TCM enterprises. He stated that this inspection aimed to identify operational challenges, resolve bottlenecks, and foster enhanced collaboration between medical institutions and enterprises. Executive Director Wu Liwei expressed gratitude for the government's consistent support and highlighted TCM's pivotal role in Lishui's "5+5" modern ecological industrial cluster system.
