Sure there's a certain amount of parallels between TCM and Ayurveda but there're some big difference:

--The PRC govt took a practical approach;if certain herbs have some special effects, just study it

--Even according to traditional sayings, TCM started when 神农氏尝百草, an empirical process

--Hindus attach religious sentiments to it and claim it was started by their god Ram.

TCM is basically pushed by the practitioners, a career matter.
