As a result of going-global of China's economy, particularly its accession to the World Trade Organization, the Chinese intellectual property rights (IPR) regime has undergone a remarkable transformation. The IPR laws in principle provide for strong protection for IPRs. While IPR experts have been focusing on the enforcement of China's IPR laws and international IPR holders have spotted that Chinese IPR rules are often ignored in practice, they both ignore the political economy of the IPR in China. This paper argues that, as the patent law evidences, industrial policy, which aims at promoting economic development, is the logics behind the evolution of China's IPR regime. It further notices a phenomenon, i.e. the emergence of an IPR strategy, which also stems from the same logics. It is further noted that, while the ongoing phenomenon, might have a bearing on the IPR regime, the political economy will drive China's IPR regime forward to a state that the West is now championing.
