For example, a Chinese animation called “Train Hero” received much criticism in Chinese Internet circles when it was found to be nearly identical to the popular Japanese animation called “Japan Hikarian Railroad.” Not only was the story the same, but it even took shortcuts, such as having characters eat onigiri rice balls, a Japanese food not eaten in China.
侵犯知识产权的行为是与中国人做生意时最令人头痛的方面。比如一部名为《高铁侠》的中国动画遭到了本国网民的极力声讨，因为这部动画其实是照抄著名日本动画《铁胆火车侠》。不但故事情节雷同，其制作方甚至偷懒，连片中人物吃的都是从未在中国出现过的日本饭团。结果中国国营电视台为此取消了该动画片8月的档期。
