Xi's Focus: Xi Jinping on intellectual property protection | |

|
April 26 marks World Intellectual Property Day. In the Global Innovation Index 2022 report released by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), China's ranking rose from 35th place in 2013 to 11th in 2022, making it one of the fastest improving countries in the world. The solid performance across the various breakdowns indicates that China is transforming from a major intellectual property consumer to a major intellectual property producer. President Xi Jinping has stressed China will strengthen its protection of intellectual property rights, with the goal of fostering innovation-driven, higher-quality growth. Xi is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission.
