China denies U.S. Allegations of intellectual property theft, embassy says The Chinese Embassy in Washington issued a statement opposing what it described as “baseless allegations” regarding intellectual property rights violations, asserting that Beijing “attaches great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights.” The statement was released in response to recent claims by U.S. Officials accusing Chinese entities of systematic technology transfer abuses and forced innovation practices. Embassy representatives emphasized that China has strengthened its legal framework for intellectual property protection in recent years, including revisions to patent, trademark, and copyright laws aligned with international standards. The embassy did not specify which particular allegations it was addressing, nor did it identify any specific U.S. Agencies or officials making the claims. It called for dialogue based on mutual respect and factual accuracy, urging the United States to cease what it characterized as unfounded accusations that disrupt bilateral economic relations. No further details were provided regarding ongoing investigations, specific cases, or planned diplomatic engagements on the matter. The embassy reiterated its position that intellectual property protection is a shared global responsibility and that China remains committed to upholding international norms in this area.
