Chapter 133 Medicine is also based on the country
The representatives were arguing one after another. At this time, several leaders at the main seat had a low-spirited exchange of ideas. Ms. Deng tapped the microphone lightly to signal for silence.
"Comrade Hongmin, now that we have not implemented a patent policy, what are the advantages and disadvantages of integrating with international standards?"
The representatives looked at Liu Hongmin, and they also wanted to know. No matter what their intentions are, they all want the country to be prosperous and strong.
Liu Hongmin said: "If we integrate with international patents, the advantages and disadvantages are very obvious."
"The advantage is that it will make it easier for our country's products to be accepted by the international market. With the export With the increase, our country’s tax revenue and foreign exchange reserves will also increase.”
“The disadvantage is that as I just said, many foreign patents have been used by our country for thousands of years. Taking traditional Chinese medicine as an example, our country lost a large number of medical classics during the war, and many of the prescriptions in these classics were registered as patents. If we fully accept the foreign patent system, then our doctors will not be able to use these registered prescriptions at will. "
"According to our full acceptance of international patents, we must pay patent fees. Many life-saving prescriptions cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars at the exchange rate of RMB to US dollars. We simply can’t afford it. If we don’t use it, we’ll have no way to survive. Our ultimate goal is to get rid of capitalist exploitation.”
“Those investments. We can pay royalties for patents that require a lot of capital. But if we still have to pay royalties for patents that we have snatched away, the capitalists will only laugh at us because we are stupid and have too much money, and then exploit us even more.”
The representatives discussed again. It is true that you cannot do things where you pay people for free.
Ms. Deng asked: "In the current international situation, we don't have much choice."
Liu Hongmin pointed to the accused, "Then use the fear of Lao America towards Lao Soviet Union, and in a few years Join GATT within China.”
GATT is the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the predecessor of the WTO. If it can join GATT before the collapse of the Soviet Union, it will be very beneficial to the development of the country.
The most important point is that GATT only has more than 20 countries. Although joining such international trade barriers now will allow a large number of foreign products to enter the country, it will also allow the country to obtain a large number of technology and export opportunities.
Of course, the United States will not let our country join GATT easily, but as long as we reach a certain agreement with GATT, it will be of huge benefit to our country.
Ms. Deng: "I will convey this to the commercial department and the diplomatic department. The patent matter is not our country's final decision. It depends on the outcome of the negotiation."
Liu Hongmin nodded, "Now There is no patent protection agency in our country, and there will be huge risks if we rashly integrate with international standards. We can first improve the patent law and not recognize patents such as traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. We can then integrate with international patents. Use the principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences to integrate with international standards. If foreign countries accuse us of not respecting intellectual property rights, we have something to say. If it doesn't work, we can still say that this is a patent system with Chinese characteristics."
The representatives nodded. Think this is feasible. As for diplomatic issues, that is a matter for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Ms. Deng: "In that case, let's vote on this proposal with a show of hands."
A group of representatives raised their hands. This proposal is beneficial to the country and the people, and is highly maneuverable. , of course they have to support it.
Once a proposal is passed, it does not mean it must be implemented. The country also needs to consult relevant people, and then put it at a meeting to discuss who will take the lead.
Tax reform is relatively simple, as long as the tax department takes the lead. The matter of patents is a bit difficult. If you have enough level to understand it, you will not have enough level to understand it.
After finishing his three proposals, Liu Hongmin sat down and acted as a voting machine. He would support whatever he thought was beneficial to the country and the people. He will raise his hands to oppose those that do more harm than good. Immediately after the meeting, a reporter came over to interview. Among these representatives, although Liu Hongmin is the youngest, he is the most famous.
"Comrade Hongmin, I heard that you have three proposals. Can you tell me what they are?"
Liu Hongmin talked eloquently, "That's true. However, further discussions are needed. If there is a result, we will tell everyone.”
The reporter was speechless. Isn’t this the same as not saying anything? They asked without giving up: "Does it need to be kept secret?"
"Absolutely!" Liu Hongmin said: "The only thing I can reveal now is that if the proposal is passed, it will be a benefit to traditional Chinese medicine. News."
The reporters looked at each other, "Traditional Chinese medicine? Comrade Hongmin, isn't Chinese medicine a feudal superstition?"
Liu Hongmin laughed, "What is a feudal superstition? Do you believe there are ghosts and gods in this world? Does Chinese medicine say there are ghosts and gods in this world? ”
"I know that some people have been suppressing and discrediting traditional Chinese medicine. I can tell you clearly that traditional Chinese medicine is the most economical treatment method in the world. Western medicine uses hundreds of thousands or millions of machines to shoot films that may not be The old Chinese medicine doctor is very accurate when he feels the pulse.”
“The reason why my country’s medical level is backward is not because there is no Western medicine technology, but because many Chinese medicine techniques have been robbed. I am not opposed to the development of Western medicine, but I am opposed to the development of Western medicine. And the behavior of killing traditional Chinese medicine. "
" Traditional Chinese medicine is also the foundation of the country. If we don't cherish it now, then when we encounter diseases in the future, we will have to activate millions of machines at every turn. A knife and a high medical fee may not necessarily cure the disease.”
The reporters shuddered when they heard this. If you think about it, machines have a lifespan. How much does it cost to use a machine with hundreds of millions of dollars at a time? Dozens of dollars? A few hundred dollars? Or several thousand dollars?
If the examination fee alone is so high, will the medical fee be lower?
They are all ordinary employees. One medical visit requires a year or even several years of salary. Who will dare to get sick in the future?
After the reporters returned, they wrote the article almost as quickly as possible. They wrote Liu Hongmin's words in the report exactly, and at the end, they called on everyone to pay attention to traditional Chinese medicine.
If what Liu Hongmin said really happens, it will be a misfortune for all ordinary people.
As soon as the report came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire society, and many people agreed with Liu Hongmin’s idea. Some people did not take it seriously and thought Liu Hongmin was alarmist.
Some people think that Liu Hongmin is whitewashing Chinese medicine and covering up the fact that Chinese medicine is feudal superstition.
These people are all firm supporters of Western medicine and believe that Western medicine is the best treatment method. Of course, we do not rule out the possibility of chess pieces from overseas forces making waves.
Some self-proclaimed open media criticized Liu Hongmin. They believed that he was a remnant of feudalism and an admirer of the feudal dynasty. They also revealed that he opened a film company and a toy factory in Hong Kong and said that he was a capitalist.
He donated money to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association because he wanted to make profits through traditional Chinese medicine. The professors of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association are the same as Liu Hongmin and are Liu Hongmin’s accomplices.
