China’s own continuing development, and to a lesser extent international pressure, will gradually lead to improvements on the above issues, but this is not a process individual intellectual property (IP) owners can influence.中国自身的持续发展，并在较小的程度上的国际压力，将逐渐导致改善就上述问题，但也不是一个过程，个人的知识产权（ IP ）的业主可以影响力。 Read the rest of “Protection vs. Enforcement: Where to start your China IPR Strategy?经过休息的"保护与执法：从何处着手你的中国知识产权战略？ Part I” or post a comment第一部分" ，或张贴一条评论
