Storyline


The U.S. accusation that Chinese companies stole its intellectual property (IP) and technologies is nothing but an ill-intentioned political ploy aimed at tarnishing the image of China, some Chinese experts have said.

Professor Zhang Ping, deputy executive dean of the Intellectual Property Institute with Peking University, has been studying Sino-U.S. intellectual property protection over the past 10 years. She said the United States has collected high IP licensing fees from China, but failed to calculate these in its gains from trade with China.

"Take phones for example. A basket of IP royalties paid China Unicom in exchange for CDMA technology to Qualcomm is worth several billion yuan, but the fees were not calculated into the two countries' trade because it was not paid via customs, but traded directly in terms of IP licensing fees," she said.

In 2016, royalties paid by China to the U.S. reached 7.96 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for a quarter of the U.S. total IP royalty. It is China's effective IP protection measures that have led American companies to generate profits, however the U.S. side has turned a blind eye to it.

On June 19, 2018, the White House issued a report named "How China's Economic Aggression Threatens the Technologies and Intellectual Property of the United States and the World", and cited another report by saying the theft of trade secrets from China could lead to an annual loss in the United States as high as 600 billion U.S. dollars. However, the number, in reality, refers to a loss caused by the world's total infringement.

"The U.S. government completely ignores the original facts while quoting their data. It distorts the fact that it's the international infringement acts that lead to its losses, but it puts the blame on China alone. In reality, the U.S. government is distorting the truth," said Wang Xiaosong, professor of the School of Economics with Renmin University of China.

China's payment for patent licensing and use of foreign technologies increased fourfold in the past decade. In 2018 alone, China spent 35.8 billion U.S. dollars in that area, ranking fourth in the world and it is second only to the United States in terms of payment for domestic use of foreign technologies.

"Take Apple Inc for example. Apple Inc chose China for its production processing that involve a lot of technologies, because China protects intellectual property including that of Apple. How could there be so many multinational enterprises coming to China seeking intellectual property protection if China cannot protect intellectual property," said Xu Jiabin, professor of the Business School at Renmin University of China.

Experts said the U.S. allegations of the so-called IPR theft by China is politically motivated, adding that it intends to smear China by completely ignoring the efforts China has made in IP protection.

According to the Global Innovation Index released by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in July 2018, China broke into the world's top 20 most-innovative economies with its ranking rising to the 17th place in 2018, from 22nd in 2017.
