U.S. leaves Asian nations off copyright-piracy list
Article Abstract:
No Asian country made it to the US' list of intellectual-property rights violators for 1995. It was the first time in many years that Asian countries did not figure among those who violated US patent and copyright laws. China and India used to be listed as priority foreign countries, a designation applied to those countries which fail to institute measures to curb violations or protect US patents or copyrights. China was taken off the list when it implemented drastic measures against copyright infringement, while India was relegated to the less-serious priority watch list.

Shift in copyright piracy: focus drawn away from China, toward Macau
Article Abstract:
Macau has made the watch-list issued by the US Trade Representative's Office as a major violator of copyright protection laws. Macau has overtaken Hong Kong and China as the site for illegal production of copyrighted material on CDs, CD-ROMs and other optical media. China and Hong Kong's standing on the watchlist has been downgraded due to efforts to protect intellectual property, both on the enforcement and legislative aspects.
