The concepts and principles of general practice are consistent with Chinese cultural values; the leading authorities at the General Practice Training Centre are extremely enthusiastic about the general practice movement; the Ministry of Public Health is totally supportive of the general practice training; the medical/allied health professionals are eager to participate in general practice activities; and general practice certainly is responsive to public expectations. General practice will be flourishing and prosperous in China; however, there may be times when the specialty of general practice in China experiences growing pains with obstacles. The experiences gained from the development of general practice training programmes in Taiwan and other countries to handle the obstacles are of tremendous value to the development of general practice in China. It is expected that communication and exchange between the general practice educators of Taiwan and China will play an important role in the further development of general practice in China.
