Beijing’s official document adjusted the prescriptions for anti-epidemic Chinese medicine. The party media quoted experts as saying that Wuhan’s prescriptions should not be copied.
People's Daily reported on 20 June 2020 that the Beijing Municipal Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine recently adjusted the local Chinese medicine epidemic prevention plan to adjust medical isolation cases and preventive prescriptions for children's Chinese medicine. It reported and quoted Professor Liu Jingyuan from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine who said that because of the different seasons, regions, and people's physiques in Wuhan and Beijing, Beijing "can no longer use" the original prescription for Wuhan's epidemic prevention, and it is necessary to formulate new prescriptions "according to local conditions and adapting to people" .
Political commentator Tang Jingyuan tweeted in response to People's Daily report that the Beijing authorities' approach was equivalent to "kicking away Zhong Nanshan", and declared the experiment of using Hubei people as mice to test Chinese medicine for epidemic prevention has failed.

The party media today asserted that the epidemic prevention in Beijing "can't copy the prescription of Wuhan Chinese medicine", but "develop a new treatment plan" according to Beijing's situation... Obviously, this is not only kicked off Zhong Nanshan, but also equal to openness announced that the experiment of using Hubei and Wuhan people as mice for "Chinese medicine special effects" was not successful.
Earlier, Zhong Nanshan, the expert group leader of the National Health Commission of the Communist Party of China, had praised "Chinese medicine for epidemic prevention", especially the Lianhua Qingwen Capsule. The outside world suspects that the manufacturer behind Lianhua Qingwen Capsule involves the interests of some CCP experts.
On the Chinese network, the argument that the CCP experts changed the prescriptions for the epidemic prevention of traditional Chinese medicine "due to the seasonal climate, region, and physique of the people" also attracted a large number of netizens.
Some netizens said, "I would like to ask experts: Hubei people enter Beijing to eat Hubei or Beijing medicine? What about Beijing people entering Hubei? What happens when the seasons change, is it still effective for Hubei people to eat the old concoction? Why is it not announced that they are still selling? What are the similarities and differences between the Hubei and Beijing physiques?"
Another netizen satirized with irony, "It seems that all the human body data in Beijing and Wuhan have been tested and compared, and an experiment has been done to conclude that the difference in the geographical location and climate of the two regions has an impact on the virus activity. Otherwise how can it be said to adapt to local conditions, to adapt to others?"
Some netizens questioned, "How can we promote the use of Lianhua Qingwen across the country without dialectical measures or local conditions?"
One netizen ridiculed, "One side said that traditional medicine is scientific, and the other side said that traditional medicine cannot be verified by modern scientific methods. This is really science."
