(Xinhua)
Updated: 2006-04-20 23:06 Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has reiterated his
confidence in China's ability to fight piracy, stressing that IPR protection is
as important as protecting productivity.
"China will establish an effective system for intellectual property rights
(IPR) protection with strict law-enforcement and strong supervision," Wen said
during his visit to an ongoing IPR protection exhibition held at the Chinese
Military Museum in Beijing.
Wen said China's efforts will focus on four aspects: enhancing law
enforcement, improving administrative supervision, broadening international
co-operation and fostering IPR protection awareness among the public.
The exhibition is open to the public from April 16 to 23. Hundreds of
counterfeit goods are on display and there are booths highlighting the
protection of trademarks, copyright and patents from different government
departments and domestic companies.
"The exhibition shows Chinese government's determination
to fight piracy," Wen said, adding that the government is firm on IPR protection
and it meets the needs of China's modernization drive and is the country's
commitment to the international community.
