The revised copyright law has made certain provisions on the protection of foreigners 'copyrights. The specific scope of protection needs to be analyzed according to the specific situation. According to the new copyright law, once the works of foreigners and foreigners were published in China, they would enjoy Chinese copyright. The copyright enjoyed by foreigners and foreigners includes the provisions of article 1 of the copyright law, that is, the author of the work enjoys the copyright regardless of whether it is published in China or not. At the same time, the new copyright law also provides that copyright owners enjoy the following rights when exercising copyright: (1) The right of publication is the right to publicly disclose the work; (2) the right to protect the integrity of a work, that is, the right to protect the work from distortion or tamper; (3) The right of reproduction refers to the right to publicly transmit a work by means of reproduction, distribution, rental, exhibition, performance, screening, broadcasting, information network transmission, etc.; (4) The right of adaptation refers to the right to change the work, including the structure, content, language, form of expression, etc. of the work, and to publish it publicly; (5) The right of translation is the right to translate a work from one language into another and publish it publicly.

At the same time, the new copyright law also stipulated that the copyright of works created by foreigners and foreigners in China could enjoy copyright in China in accordance with the provisions of this law. It should be noted that the copyright protection of foreigners and foreigners also needs to be analyzed according to the specific circumstances, such as the place of creation, the time of publication, and whether it was published in China. At the same time, foreigners and foreigners also needed to enjoy the relevant copyright rights in accordance with Chinese laws.

The differences between copyright and neighboring rights include: (1) Different types of rights: copyright is a personal right while neighboring rights are a property right; (2) The scope of protection is different: copyright mainly protects the work itself, while neighboring rights mainly protect the information, thoughts, or expressions of emotions conveyed by the work; (3) The way to exercise rights is different: the copyright owner can exercise it independently, while the neighboring right owner needs to pay the copyright owner a fee to exercise it; (4) Different time: copyright protects the work after the creation is completed, while neighboring rights protect the rights of the work in the process of communication. The copyright and the neighboring right are two different rights. The copyright focuses more on the creativity and ingenuity of the work itself while the neighboring right focuses more on the expression of the information, thoughts or emotions expressed by the work.
