China has emerged as a leading center for the manufacturing industry by virtue of low cost and large manpower pools. China is striving to assert its presence in the global market as a technologically developed country. During the past thirty years, China not only enacted and subsequently revised a series of IP laws to optimize the legal system, but also implemented administrative reforms and launched several special campaigns to strengthen IP enforcement. These efforts demonstrate China’s determination to improve IP protection.
