Abstract
Based on the situation of unbalanced development of the countries along the Belt and Road, it is wise to adopt bilateral/multilateral cooperation mode instead of regional integration mode concerning intellectual property. As China is a developing country, it is proper to follow and not to exceed the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) protection level at this specific TRIPS-plus era. Meanwhile, China should implement trademark law and copyright law in different strategies: severe striking on counterfeiting to exploit the market, to build a principle of honesty and credibility but loosely implementing copyright law in order to disseminate Chinese culture.

In 1900, the G8 allied forces invaded China, and the Qing government signed a treaty with UK, United States, Germany, France, Russia, Italy and Austria in Beijing on 7 September 1901, in which the United States was entitled to 32 million taels of silver, or more than 24 million dollars. In 1908, the US congress agreed to return half of the money to China to help finance students studying in the United States.
