According to the relevant provisions of China's copyright law, only Chinese copyright owners are protected in China, and foreign copyright owners are not protected

The differences and connections between domestic copyright owners and foreign copyright owners are mainly reflected in the following aspects: 1. The nationality of the copyright subject is different: the nationality of the copyright subject in China is China while the nationality of the copyright subject in foreign countries is foreign. This meant that the copyright of authors in China belonged to China, while the copyright of foreign authors belonged to the government or copyright collective management organization of that country. 2. The ownership of copyright is different: Chinese law provides that the copyright is enjoyed by the author himself, while foreign law provides that the copyright is enjoyed by the creator of the work. That is, the author enjoys the copyright but the copyright of the work can be shared by the co-owners. The term of protection of copyrights is different: the term of protection of Chinese copyrights is 20 years, while the term of protection of foreign copyrights is longer, usually 50 years or more. The main qualifications of copyright are different: Chinese law states that only individuals or organizations with certain conditions can be granted copyright, while foreign laws state that anyone can be granted copyright. Although there are differences between Chinese and foreign copyright owners, the relationship between copyright owners is very close. In China, the relationship between copyright owners is usually managed and coordinated by copyright collective management organizations. In addition, copyright owners could also cooperate to create and share intellectual property.

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.
