Copyright and International Negotiations provides a historical study of the development of Chinese copyright law in terms of Chinas contemporary political economy and the impact that international copyright law has had. The analysis shows how Chinas copyright system is intertwined with censorship and international copyright law and how this has affected freedom of expression. China still enforces an old censorship regime that clamps down on free expression despite a modern system of copyright rules which should function as an engine of free expression. The book explores the development and architecture of Chinese copyright law in parallel with international copyright law, clarifies Chinas nuanced patterns of the control of free expression through copyright law, and identifies a breakthrough for neutralising the impact officiel of Chinas censorship policies through copyright law..
