What are the contradictions and problems with the copyright protection of foreign works in China?
There are some contradictions and problems in the copyright protection of foreign works in China, as follows: Foreigners are required to provide their passport or other travel documents when applying for copyright registration in China. This procedure may not be convenient or difficult to complete in some areas. Because China's copyright law does not clearly state that foreigners enjoy copyright in China, there are some contradictions in the application of law in the actual implementation of the copyright protection of foreign works. For example, whether some works of foreigners could be regarded as literary works in China and how to obtain copyright protection in China. Foreigners who apply for copyright protection in China are required to fill in detailed personal information, including the author's name, the title of the work, the date of creation, etc. This may result in incomplete or incorrect information. Due to the differences in Chinese culture and values, the works of foreigners may cause different evaluations and interpretation in China, which may lead to conflicts in copyright protection. Therefore, China needs to further improve its laws and systems to protect the copyrights of foreign works in order to solve the above-mentioned contradictions and problems.
