Equipment Notes: Decoded MS stereo. NPR/NGS RADIO EXPEDITIONS Show: Hong Kong/Philippines Log of DAT #: 5 Engineer: Marty Kurcias Date: March 2004 (0.07) MK: OK this is continuation from Tape 4. This is Tape 5. This is continuation of the interview in the TCM shop and its MS. CJ: Ok (0.26) OK, um. A lot of people in the industry also share the same concern. They talk about this in their meeting of the merchant association and they realize that this is an important issue to their business. They call for a more sustainable use, attitude and also call for other association because not...they are just one association. They also call for other trade associations and also partition group because it is them who use the, describe the medicine. So they call out to other group as well to address their issue. (1:28) CK: Which plants and animals are the ones that they most worry about in terms of scarcity and becoming endangered? (1:28) Translation into Chinese question and response (2:12) Simon Lee (via interpreter): He says there is no particular species or type of medicine they worry the most.

(4:42) Translation into Chinese question and response (5:02) SL: Replacing one with another is common in traditional Chinese medicine practice, but he believes that the original prescription which needs certain things, a combination of those will be the best, but it is not the only one that thing can easily be replaced. (5:28) CJ: When he is sick, or his children, if he has children, are sick does he only use traditional Chinese medicine or does he use some Western, some Chinese? (5:39) Translation into Chinese question and response (5:51) SL: When they, he or his family, gets sick, he will consult both traditional Chinese medicine and also Western practitioner.
