Is the copyright of a work required to be registered?

According to China's copyright law, the copyright of a work was enjoyed from the day it was created without registration. However, in order to protect the legal rights and interests of the author, the registration agency would register the works of the copyright owner in case of emergency. In addition, registration could also strengthen the trust between copyright owners and reduce disputes caused by opaque information.
