China's famous pharmaceutical company Tong Ren Tang is eyeing success in Sydney, Australia.

中国著名制药公司同仁堂在澳大利亚悉尼取得成功。

The company aims to introduce traditional Chinese medicine to Western countries with its pharmacies and clinics, which have opened in more than 20 countries overseas.

CRI's Huang Shan has more details.

On the busy street of Sydney city, a pharmacy that sells traditional Chinese medicine is welcoming customers. But the customers are not just of Chinese or Asian descent. Many are Westerners.

Tong Ren Tang, China's time-honored pharmaceutical company since 1669, opened its first Australian branch in 2005. Up to now, in Sydney alone, there are three Tong Ren Tang outlets.

The steady development of Tong Ren Tang demonstrates Australian people's increasing acceptance of traditional Chinese medicine.

General manager of Beijing Tong Ren Tang Australia Ltd, Ma Anyang:

"We have more customers from Western countries every year. They often take gradual steps, from the acceptance of medical massage to Chinese patent medicine, then acupuncture6, then herbal medicine."

More and more Australians have been introduced to traditional Chinese medicine through word of mouth.
