Scrutiny and punishment for copyright violations in China is earning some plaudits from overseas rights holders as the battle against copycats and illegal content intensifies. With foreign TV series and imported reality shows (especially from South Korea) soaring in popularity on Chinese screens and video websites, copyright disputes from unauthorized video streaming and outright copying have hampered China's ascent to a strong intellectual property country. However, the annual Jianwang Operation is fighting back. It is an annual nationwide campaign against copyright infringement started by the National Copyright Administration in 2005. Jianwang Operation has shown its power, such as the closure of violating websites including the popular subtitled video sharing website shooter.cn. Although China has made a progress in the crackdown on copyright infringement, there is a lot to be done such as building stricter legal system and wider collaboration between cyberspace and public security authorities to strengthen enforcement.
