Liu Hua pointed out that China's copyright protection is a part of successful IP story of China, which is of national strategic importance and concerns national cultural productivity, creativity and soft power.

She commended China's tremendous achievements in the field of innovation and creativity especially the cultural and creative industries. In 2019, the added value of China's copyright industry reached 7.32 trillion yuan, accounting for 7.39% of GDP. In the Global Innovation Index 2021 (GII) released by WIPO, China ranks the 12th in the rating, 2 places up from the GII 2020, being the only upper middle income economies breaking into the top 15，and maintains leadership in 10 indicators including creative good export. These outstanding achievements are attributed to the Chinese government's long-standing and consistent efforts and investment in innovation and creativity, China's open innovation practices, the building of modern and effective IP ecosystem in China, and the ever-improving Chinese copyright legal system, social service system and the development environment of the copyright industry.

She stressed that copyright, as one of the three traditional pillars of IP, has always been the focus of WIPO's work, and that WIPO has launched a series of service platforms, such as WIPO for Creators, WIPO Connect and WIPO Alert, to help member states carry out copyright protection and management work. WIPO will continue to explore new models of cooperation in the field of copyright and innovate products and services.
