China is still under piracy gun
BEIJING -- China may soon face more complaints of piracy at the World Trade Organization over weak enforcement of intellectual property rights, the U.S. Trade Representative's office said in Beijing.USTR general counsel James Mendenhall said China, which joined the WTO five years ago, must learn not to bristle at requests for dispute resolutions. Piracy of everything from movies to sound-recording equipment is rampant in China, where the MPA says 95% of optical discs viewed were sold with no benefit to the copyright holder. Mendenhall said Beijing was making a greater effort to combat piracy and added that the bilateral talks just ended had laid the groundwork for further discussions he hoped would bring closer together the two sides' widely disparate views on the efficacy of China's IPR enforcement.
