BEIJING, Sept. 8 -- China's police will intensify their cooperation with international security organizations to crack down on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) violations.

    Gao Feng, deputy chief of the Chinese Public Security Bureau's economic crime investigation bureau, told a press conference Thursday that more joint efforts should be made internationally in IPR protection to safeguard the author's legitimate rights and bring about an orderly market.

    This August, China and the United States collaborated in cracking a major counterfeiting operation involving pharmaceuticals sold on the Internet in 11 countries, marking a great success in joint anti-piracy efforts.

    Statistics show that since last year, China's police have dealt with nearly 2,000 IPR violation cases, involving more than 1.3 billion yuan, or about 160 million US dollars.
