This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

Honestly traditional Chinese medicine isn't even unscientific. Just because something doesn't look exactly like western medicine doesn't make it pseudoscience. Herbalism is scientifically backed, and can be a better solution to some things than prescription drugs. As it has less risk of side effects. Anyone who has ever put Aloe Vera on a sunburn knows how good herbalism can be.
It is actually a known issue though that rural areas in China still lack access to medical care, and the government is making a big push to fix this. China has gone from a fully agrarian country to what they are now in a generation. They're not done building out their infrastucture yet. The CPC has been making rural revitalization a big focus of their current efforts. Because they recognize there is still work to be done there. Which a big part of that is building the proper healthcare facilities.
I imagine the west is using this to try and critisize China. Without mentioning they're actively fixing the issue.
