Yan Xiaohong, deputy director of the National Copyright Administration,
announced in February that any companies found using pirate software would be
blacklisted. The announcement was part of an effort to crack down on software
copyright infringement.
Software developed by domestic firms and foreign companies would be treated
equally in the scheme, Yan said at an inspection tour of a software exhibition
in Beijing.
A number of companies, such as Microsoft, have showcased their products at
the exhibition since it was established in 2004. It usually attracts more than
10,000 visitors per day.
