Internet copyright infringement activities have been increasingly rampant.

The issues Secretary Gutierrez is concerned with are issues we also are concerned with. This year, we will work with the ministries of Information, Industry and Commerce to increase the usage of legal software among...

What we’ve investigated may be a very small portion of the problem.

For a developing nation like China, protecting intellectual property rights is a process … We hope to shorten this process as much as possible, but it’s difficult to eliminate it overnight.

The special operation has to some extent played a deterrent role in curbing Internet piracy and copyright violations. But one campaign cannot solve the problem.

To curb the use of pirated common software, we have urged the computer producers to load authorized software before they are sold on the Chinese market.

Some foreigner organizations said over 90 percent software used in China are pirated, but from the above analysis we can see this is not true in reality since the common software only accounts for one-third...

We have talked with foreign copyright associations, and China plans to join two international copyright protection treaties to bring it into line with world standards.

We will have better cooperation and exchanges with international organizations so as to enhance our capability to better fight Internet piracy.

This campaign was effective in beginning to address some Internet piracy problems in China. But I must say online piracy isn’t only a problem in China, it is a problem even in developed nations.

This special operation has achieved its purpose and has been favorably looked upon by the public and overseas rights-holders’ organizations.

We still have a serious problem of piracy. We need to study more forceful and effective measures to curb it.

The issues Gutierrez is concerned about are issues that worry us as well. We have launched a national anti-piracy campaign, but it is not a problem that can be solved in one day.

Internet piracy has become a problem that must be resolved as its huge volume is making it difficult to control.

We are very tough in our measures. Of course we need to speed up the process, but we can’t expect that the problem will go away overnight.

Fighting against Internet piracy and infringement is a long-term mission and an uphill journey.

We are very tough in our measures.
