China's top court pledged on Thursday to increase efforts to tackle intellectual property rights infringements, after the central government unveiled guidelines on IPR protection.Judicial protection of IPR must be strengthened, including handling of disputes in innovative ways, said Tao Kaiyuan, vice-president in charge of IPR case hearings for the Supreme People's Court.She made the remarks during a news conference on IPR protection organized by the State Council Information Office.China's central government issued guidelines on Tuesday aimed at improving trials involving IPR cases, saying that higher efficiency, stronger IPR protection and better judicial credibility should be key considerations.Tao said on Thursday the top court has improved IPR protection by unifying standards related to court rulings and providing more training for judges.Having high-quality case hearings is the best response when we are questioned on IPR protection, she said.Between 2013 and 2017, Chinese courts filed 813,564 IPR cases, and 781,257 were concluded, according to the Supreme People's Court. make your own wristbandsmontre tommy hilfiger homme bracelet siliconetriple single rubber band braceletsilicone braceletsdebossed wristband
A mother breastfeeds her baby at a mall during an activity in celebration of the World Breastfeeding Week in Beijing, capital of China, Aug 6, 2016. [Photo/Xinhua] BEIJING - The rate of breastfeeding for infants under six months old in China is 29.2 percent, according to a recent survey by China Development Research Foundation. The survey, conducted between Sept 2017 to Jan 2018 among over 10,000 mothers with infant children across the country, also found that only 11.3 percent of the participants breastfed their children within an hour of birth. Fang Jin, deputy secretary general of the foundation, attributed the low rate of breastfeeding to easy access to breast milk substitutes and the misleading advertising of such products. The lack of public awareness as well as deficiency of support from family and social communities, including medical institutions, are also reasons why fewer mothers choose to breastfeed their children, said Fang. The World Health Organization recommended that infants be breastfed within an hour after birth and remain breastfed until they are six months old. The report called for measures be taken to raise public awareness, encourage medical care institutions to provide support and improve the legislation for maternity leave and childbirth insurance system.
