According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying hosted a regular press conference on the 19th. The press conference records are as follows:
Q: According to reports, a report from the World Intellectual Property Organization shows that the number of patents applied for in China exceeds that of the United States, the European Union, Japan, and South Korea for the first time. But at the same time, we have noticed that individual countries and individuals continue to take issues of China’s intellectual property protection. Say something. What's China's comment?
A: In December 2017, the World Intellectual Property Organization released the "World Intellectual Property Indicators" report showing that the number of applications for invention patents accepted by the State Intellectual Property Office of China exceeded 1.3 million, exceeding that of the United States, Japan, South Korea and the European Patent Office. Sum. Of these, 90% of domestic invention patent applications are accepted, and 10% of foreign countries are patents. In addition, China became the world’s first country with an invention patent application volume exceeding 1 million in 2015; The number of patents for effective inventions exceeded 1 million for the first time, becoming the third-largest country after the United States and Japan. These all indicate that China has become a big country with intellectual property rights. Just as Director of the World Intellectual Property Organization Gao Rui said, China's share of the increase in global patent applications can be seen in the development trend of China's innovation, and China is gradually becoming a leader in global innovation and branding.
China is firmly implementing innovation-driven development strategies. We hope that China’s efforts and achievements in this area can be viewed objectively and fairly.
Q: The United States has decided to impose restrictions on imported steel and aluminum products. We have noticed recently that the Wall Street Journal reported that the director of the National Trade Commission of the United States, Navarro, has indicated that a U.S. steel company has paid a million U.S. dollars to shoot documentary films. China, which attributed the decline of the US steel industry to China. There are comments that Navarro used interest group sponsorship to shoot a film that supports his own political views. Currently, the FBI is working on the case. Survey. How does China view this?
A: I also saw related reports. I don't want to comment on the content of the report.
On the issue that the United States decided to impose restrictions on imports of steel and aluminum products, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce of China and my colleagues have clearly stated China’s position on many occasions. I would like to stress once again that in the current situation, behaving in a negligent manner, letting the bullets chaos Fly is not a beneficial and effective way to solve the problem, nor is it constructive. It is hoped that all parties can calmly sit down, negotiate and communicate, and solve problems in a manner consistent with WTO rules and market economic rules, and jointly maintain normal conditions. The international trade order. This is in the best interests of all parties concerned and the international community.
