It's a good thing. Spanish celebrities used to go to Houston, Texas to receive cancer treatment because the best professionals were there. The newsarticle is proof IMO that the same is now true of China.
I mean, if someone's choice is between life or death, the ideology of the doctors is irrelevant.
In spite of it, 'medical tourism' is a term associated to "illegal aliens leeching off our system" here in the West. I'd be careful with it.
