Recently, I’ve been receiving a lot of discussions about anti-TCM content. After thinking it over, I’ve decided to start a WeChat public account dedicated to sharing my views on Traditional Chinese Medicine, and to provide a platform for TCM critics to exchange ideas.
The registration process went smoothly at first. But the moment I added the words “TCM” to my account name, Tencent asked me to submit a pile of supporting documents to prove that I was qualified to use that term.
Naturally, I wasn’t afraid of being vetted — I simply handed over what they asked for. Tencent said they would review the materials and get back to me within seven days.
Following the Wei Zexi incident, it seems that all major platforms have become particularly cautious when it comes to medical content. This is a welcome trend. But in the face of a public skilled in deception, how much can such caution really accomplish?
And so, my public account will primarily focus on spreading the spirit of science. We must do everything in our power to raise the scientific literacy of the Chinese public — so that people can tell good from bad and reduce their chances of being duped.
I sincerely hope that China’s medical landscape will continue to improve.

最近经常收到许多对反中医内容的探讨，想来想去，决心开一个微信公众号，专门发布我对中医的看法，给中医黑们一个交流的平台。
注册的时候本来是很顺利的，但是我一将公众号的名字里加入了”中医”字样，腾讯就要我提供诸多证明材料，证明我配得上”中医”这两个字。
当然，我是不怕被证明的，交就交吧，腾讯说要审核，7日内给回复。
魏则西事件后，貌似各大主流平台对医疗这个东西都特别慎重，这是一个好现象。但是，在诡计多端的中国人面前，这又能抵挡得住什么呢？
所以，我的公众号以传播科学精神为主，要用最大的努力改善国人的科学素养，让大家都能分清好坏，减少上当受骗的几率。
希望中国的医疗环境能够越来越好。
