"On Monday, China sought to demonstrate its determination to stop commercial piracy by releasing an intellectual property action plan.
China would draft and implement 14 laws on intellectual property rights and usage, and issue explanations and guiding policies for handling IP violation cases, according to the notice."
China needs to understand that their "action plan" and "14 laws" are not the end results that we expect. The US will measure progress in this trade dispute in billions of dollars of additional Chinese purchases of software and entertainment products, and in billions of dollars of shrinkage in the projected large and growing trade deficits with China. Without measurable financial results, plans and laws are just talk.

Good. Maybe this will be the thing we need to start keeping Sinocrap out of our country.

“Beijing was not doing enough to punish illegal copiers of films and music”
It’s hard to know who to cheer for, the Chinese Communists or the Hollywood Leftists.

"It's cheap to pirate goods, but expensive to protect copyright ... and society as a whole does not know enough about the problem," Wu added.It's probably impossible to stop retailing of pirated goods in a country the size of China. But it shouldn't take too much effort to locate and shut down the large producers of pirated goods, and thereby stop the flow of pirated goods at its source. I respectfully disagree with Ms. Wu's statement.

They will never stop... I know a few people that deal dollar stores and people that sell knock offs in the city.. They can copy and reproduce goods within an hour of giving them the product - in any local factory in China. Not just software and such.. but hard tangible goods such as handbags, sneakers, watches, etc...
There are viliages with 4-5 person factories in every home. Just shelling out knock offs 24/7 to people around the world.
If the average pirate in the US can copy software and distribute it illegally (at will) you REALLY think you can stop China? On paper it looks good, but in reality its a farce..

Impaled, the Chinese insect squirms and thrashes, to no avail as its lifeblood, stolen from others, drains slowly onto the ground.

This is a joke, the Chinese thrive off their black and there's no way they're going to cut off their own nose to placate the US.

The interesting thing is that thanks to Bittorrent and broadband, Chinese CD and DVD stores that sell pirated goods are starting to wind down. Throttled broadband is available for about 90 yuan a month, via either DSL or cable modem. (In the wealthier coastal regions, a department store sales associate might make about 800 yuan a month). The next frontier is probably attacks on China’s non-existent prosecution of Bittorrent users who download copyrighted material.
