It is Japan that has spent the longest time spying on Chinese medicine and obtained the most secret recipes. In the 1980s, the reform and opening up had just started, and various provinces and cities urgently needed to introduce foreign capital. At that time, foreign investment was the first priority. Therefore, some Japanese companies visited China under the banner of investment. Due to the lack of confidentiality awareness of core products in the early days of reform and opening up, in order to attract investment, they were not only displayed around the core area, but some manufacturers even gave away their own Chinese medicine formulas. As a result, the loss outweighed the gain, and some Japanese enterprises obtained many Chinese medicine formulas.
There was once a story that when the Japanese visited the Yunnan Baiyao production line, they deliberately lowered their bodies, dipped their ties in liquid medicine and prepared to take them back for analysis. China's security department saw through this and took the initiative to buy new ties for foreign businessmen and take back the old ones. Since then, the state has realized the importance of Yunnan Baiyao formula and no longer allows foreign businessmen to visit.
Yunnan Baiyao, as a miraculous medicine for stopping bleeding and promoting granulation, has always been regarded as a miraculous medicine by foreigners. The curative effect is beyond the reach of any western medicine at present, and there is almost no drug resistance. It will play an important role during the war. Therefore, his formula will be kept secret. Our compatriots should not sell themselves short and be fooled by the lie that Chinese medicine is pseudoscience. It is necessary to promote the inheritance of Chinese medicine, raise the awareness of confidentiality, and protect the wealth left by our ancestors.
