Intellectual property protection is the protection of innovation. The report "World Intellectual Property Performance", which was published in 2019 by WIPO, notes that the main trend in the development of world innovative events is their concentration in the big cities of five countries, including China. According to this year's report, China is ranked 14th in the world for innovation, ranking first among middle-income countries.

China has consistently adhered to the concept of a community of shared humanity, pursues the principles of openness, inclusiveness, sustainability and the common good, and actively participates in the governance of the intellectual property rights system on a global scale within WIPO.

The PRC has practically joined all the main international conventions on intellectual property, together with more than 80 countries, international and regional organizations, it has established cooperation relations.

Note that all PRC is doing is directly following foreign advice, including US advice.

Bureaucrats will never tell you that nice numbers mean fully opposite things to ones that they state.

It means that private property on means of production (information) is widening and it means that movement further away from socialism happens.
