中药在美国抗疫中走红：从抢购潮看中医药全球化机遇
随着奥密克戎变种病毒肆虐美国，中药再次成为美国民众的抗疫选择。多家媒体报道显示，美国各地中药店的板蓝根冲剂等产品频频断货，价格持续攀升。
As the Omicron variant sweeps across the US, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has reemerged as Americans' choice against COVID-19. Media reports indicate that TCM products like banlangen granules are frequently sold out in US herbal stores with prices soaring.
中医药的全球抗疫表现
TCM's Global Anti-pandemic Performance
2020年美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)的研究显示，连花清瘟胶囊能显著改善COVID-19临床症状。在284名患者的临床试验中，接受中药治疗组的症状恢复率比对照组高出91.5%，恢复时间缩短3天。
A 2020 NIH study revealed that Lianhua Qingwen capsules could significantly improve COVID-19 symptoms. In clinical trials with 284 patients, the TCM treatment group showed 91.5% higher recovery rate and 3-day shorter recovery time than the control group.
值得注意的是，美国制药巨头一边公开抵制中药，一边秘密研究中国"清肺排毒汤"并推出美国版Lung Cleaner，这种矛盾行为凸显了中医药的价值。
Notably, while some US pharma giants publicly boycott TCM, they secretly study Chinese "Qingfei Paidu Decoction" and develop American version Lung Cleaner, this contradictory behavior highlights TCM's value.
中医药全球化现状与挑战
Current Status and Challenges of TCM Globalization
尽管需求旺盛，中国在全球中药市场的份额不足2%，远低于日本(90%)和韩国(5-7%)。更令人担忧的是，日韩等国不断将中国古方改良后申请专利，如日本"救心丹"源自中国"六神丸"。
Despite strong demand, China holds less than 2% of the global TCM market share, far behind Japan (90%) and South Korea (5-7%). More concerning is that countries like Japan continuously modify ancient Chinese formulas and patent them, such as Japan's "Kyushin" derived from China's "Liushen Wan".
