As previously discussed, China has been criticized for
outright theft of trade secrets as well as requiring the disclosure of trade
secrets to do business in China. Keith
Zhai, Bloomberg Technology, has reported in an article, “China Says Foreign Firms won’t be Forced to Turn Over Technology,” that a senior Chinese official has stated that market
access in China will not require disclosure of trade secrets. Notably, the article also states that China “pledged
. . . to treat all companies equally" and the timing of the announcement came “close in time” to Trump’s exit from
China. It will be interesting to see if
there are meaningful changes.
