In July 2017, the general secretary of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping, pointed out at a meeting of the Central Leading Group for Financial and Economic Affairs that it is necessary to strengthen punishment against IP infringements and make infringers pay for their transgressions.
In August 2017, when delivering the report of the Supreme People’s Court (SPC) on the work of the IP courts, the president of the SPC, Zhou Qiang, mentioned that it is necessary to focus on resolving issues such as the “low cost for committing infringement and high cost for safeguarding rights”, strengthening IP-related punishments, increasing compensation awards pursuant to the law, and making infringers pay for their transgressions.
