Traditional Chinese medicine has proved effective in the fight against the novel coronavirus. In April 2020, the over-the-counter Chinese medicine Lianhua Qingwen Capsule was approved, adding the functions of conventional treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia.

Another major development in the regulation of TCM is the introduction of the holder system of Marketing Authorization for Drugs (MAH) in the newly revised Drug Administration Law of the People's Republic of China in August 2019 (2). At the same time, the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and GSP certificates were cancelled, and the overall responsibility for ensuring the safety and quality of drugs fell on MAH.

This paper introduces the law of TCM in China from three aspects: (1) the law and reality of acupuncture and moxibustion and TCM research; (II) the law and reality of acupuncture professional practice; (III) Norms and realities of plant therapy in China. I submit the following articles according to the guide checklist.
