Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi on last Tuesday warned that the recent complaints filed by the United States against China to the World Trade Organization (WTO) would seriously damage cooperation between the two countries. "It will seriously undermine bilateral cooperation on intellectual property rights (IPR) under the Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade framework and damage the existing cooperative ties on market access for publications," said Wu Yi at a high-profile IPR forum in Beijing. Earlier this month, the United States filed two complaints to the WTO against China over copyright infringements and restrictions on the sale of U.S. books, music, videos and movies. "It is the first time a WTO member has lodged two complaints simultaneously against another member and it will have a very negative impact," Wu said. She complained that the U.S. behavior ran counter to the consensus once reached by the leaders of the two countries to advocate dialogue as the way to settle disputes. IPR protection is a universal issue that can be guaranteed only through cooperation among various countries, she said. Wu noted that the Chinese government would respond actively to the U.S. complaints according to relevant WTO rules. "We will not cower away," she said. Source: Xinhua |
