The problem of infringement on intellectual property rights is not unique to
China as Europe and the United States also witness rampant IPR violations, a
Chinese government official said here on Tuesday.
Citing a survey released by the US Business Software Alliance on May 18,
Zhang Zhigang, office director of the State Work Group on IPR Protection and
also vice minister of commerce, said that losses incurred by piracy (or the
value of illegal software) in Europe and the United States are the highest, with
the per capita loss reported there far surpassing that in the Asia-Pacific
region.
"Therefore, the priorities in the global crackdown on piracy should first be
the EU, then the United States and then the Asia-Pacific region. China does not
deserve to be among the top priorities yet," said Zhang at a press conference
held by the State Council Information Office.
