China's government will curb abuses in intellectual property rights, said Tian Lipu, commissioner of the State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) during a tour of Samsung's cell phone factory in Tianjin on Monday.

During the visit Tian heard concerns from Keun-Hee Park, Samsung's president of operations in China, who highlighted the rise of so-called "patent trolls" in China.
