Why is modern mainstream medicine western medicine rather than Chinese medicine?

Western medicine can be in line with international practice. In fact, most of the knowledge of western medicine is learned from abroad, and medical equipment is heavily dependent on imports. Traditional Chinese medicine can only be regarded as traditional medicine, which exists all over the world, and it is nothing special. Because we can't connect with the world, we can only build cars behind closed doors in China. Needless to say, China people's innovative ability is well known, just look at their contribution to modern science and technology. Due to the lack of innovation in traditional Chinese medicine, it is normal to be in a secondary position.
