China Concerned by U.S. Report on Intellectual Property

China, the world’s second largest economy, said it is concerned by a U.S. Trade Representative report calling some websites in the country “notorious markets” that facilitate the selling of counterfeit goods.

“The language of the report made it clear that it was not the result of a detailed investigation of illegal activities,” Li Chenggang, director general of the Ministry of Commerce’s legal department, said at a briefing in Beijing today.
