copyright protection faces new challenges and will strengthen the whole chain protection
Since the 18th CPC National Congress, China’s copyright industry has developed vigorously and made remarkable achievements. The copyright legal system with Chinese characteristics is basically complete, the situation of copyright protection has been significantly improved, the copyright industry has developed healthily, and the copyright awareness of all sectors of society has been significantly improved, which has played an important role in promoting China’s cultural prosperity, scientific and technological progress and economic and social development.

From the perspective of China, due to its late start and poor foundation, China’s copyright work does not fully meet the requirements of economic and social development, the quality and benefits of copyright need to be improved, there are not enough high-quality works of copyright, and the copyright resources have not been fully exploited. Internationally, copyright, as an important indicator of national comprehensive strength, has become the core element of international competition. It is urgent and arduous to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation in copyright, actively promote the establishment of a balanced and effective international copyright system, and accelerate the promotion of China’s international influence and voice of copyright.
With the in-depth development of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial reform, technical means such as blockchain, big data and artificial intelligence are changing with each passing day. The characteristics of networking and high-tech infringement and piracy are becoming more and more obvious, which puts forward new challenges and requirements for copyright protection. All these require constantly improving the copyright work system and mechanism, strengthening the whole chain protection of copyright, and promoting the modernization of copyright governance system and governance capacity.
