Here is an article on Xinhuanet about a meeting I mediated and interpreted for while studying in China with Dr. Zhang at his hospital this past May/June, 2015:
Article is in Chinese. Here is a quick summary:
World renown traditional medicine experts Marilyn Allen, Rachel M Brooker, and Eric Raymond Buckley visited Beijing Taijitang hospital and experienced TCM diagnosis and treatment first hand. They showed great interest in acupuncture theory and Chinese herbal medicine.
Dr. Kezhen Zhang feels that TCM is receiving more recognition worldwide, although there are still difficulties facing wider acceptance and the promotion of TCM, such as how to truly integrate TCM with WM and modern sciences, as well as how standards for TCM theory and clinical practice should be established. For example, there is no accepted standard for how meridians should be measured or even whether or not they are an objective existence. Therefore, setting up such a standard should be of the utmost importance.
