Indeed, despite territorial disputes and other divisive issues, the commissioners of the patent offices of Japan, South Korea, China, and, to a lesser extent, Singapore and Taiwan meet often to define and coordinate their intellectual-property (IP) policies. China’s leaders know that they can learn from countries like Japan and South Korea, which implemented policies to encourage innovation and protect IP rights long before China did.
事实上，尽管存在领土纠纷和其他不和，但日本、韩国、中国以及（在更小程度上）新加坡和中国台湾的专利官员经常开会定义和协调彼此的知识产权政策。中国领导人知道他们可以从日本和韩国身上学习经验，后两者实施鼓励创新和保护知识产权的政策远远早于中国。
