To welcome the World Intellectual Property Day and show China's achievements in anti-piracy as well as its determination in intellectual property rights protection, the National Eliminate Pornography and Illegal Publications Work Team has held an activity in the 31 municipalities, provinces and autonomous regions across the country to destroy pirated and illegal publications.

As many as 47.18 million pieces of pirated and illegal publications, which is an unparalleled number in history, has been destroyed throughout the country. In particular, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shanghai, Hubei, Jiangsu, Beijing, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Anhui, Chongqing, Liaoning, Gansu, Tianjin, and Guizhou each claimed to have destroyed more than one million illegal pieces, with Guangdong ranking first with 12 million illegal publications destroyed.

China has been working on eliminating pornography and illegal publications for 20 years. During that period, the country has removed 238 underground disk production lines, identified more than 400,000 individual criminal cases, punished over 13000 people and confiscated more than 1.3 billion illegal publications.

Liu Binjie, vice team leader of National Eliminate Pornography and Illegal Publications Work Team and director of the National Copyright Administration of China, emphasized that the Chinese government has always attached great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights and anti-piracy and it has listed the task as one of its national strategies in creating a country based on innovation.
