China's National Copyright Administration will intensify efforts to crack down on the making of pirated textbooks and computer software, copying or selling fake audio-video products and infringing on the copyright of network works.

At its national conference which concluded Thursday in Beijing, the administration announced a redoubling of efforts to combat the pirated compact disc trade in major cities, including: Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Dalian, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Qingdao, Xiamen, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Kunming and Xi'an.

In March next year, the administration will launch a national campaign to fight the production and selling of pirated compact disks. The campaign will focus on docks, railway stations, stands around schools, underpasses, residential quarters, recreation centers and areas near shopping centers, where the pirated compact disc selling is rampant.
