The Chinese mainland and Taiwan will continue strengthening cooperation and make joint efforts on copyright protection, said Shen Rengan, chairperson of the Copyright Society of China.

Speaking at a cross-Straits copyright protection forum in Beijing on Oct 28, Shen made the statement in front of more than 100 officials and experts from both sides of the Straits.

Liao Jr-de, head of Taiwan’s copyright protection association, indicated that ongoing negotiations on copyright protection between the island province and the mainland will likely lead to an agreement in November.

The deal will be another significant milestone, said Liao, especially after the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement was successfully reached in June.
