There are some contradictions and problems in the copyright protection of foreign works in China, as follows: Foreigners are required to provide their passport or other travel documents when applying for copyright registration in China. This procedure may not be convenient or difficult to complete in some areas. Because China's copyright law does not clearly state that foreigners enjoy copyright in China, there are some contradictions in the application of law in the actual implementation of the copyright protection of foreign works. For example, whether some works of foreigners could be regarded as literary works in China and how to obtain copyright protection in China. Foreigners who apply for copyright protection in China are required to fill in detailed personal information, including the author's name, the title of the work, the date of creation, etc. This may result in incomplete or incorrect information. Due to the differences in Chinese culture and values, the works of foreigners may cause different evaluations and interpretation in China, which may lead to conflicts in copyright protection. Therefore, China needs to further improve its laws and systems to protect the copyrights of foreign works in order to solve the above-mentioned contradictions and problems.

The copyright of a literary work usually includes copyright protection during the author's lifetime and after his death. The copyright is the private property of the author during his lifetime, but after his death, the copyright of his work usually passes to his heir or copyright owner. If the work is oral or written, the duration of copyright protection depends on the type of work and the laws of the place where it is located. For example, oral works were usually protected for only 10 years, while written works could be protected for 20 or 50 years. After the copyright protection period of the work ends, the author or the copyright owner can sell, rent, transfer or share the copyright. These actions should be in accordance with applicable laws and respect the rights of the copyright owner. In addition, the scope of copyright protection also depended on the law. In some countries, copyright included the adaptation, translation, compilation, performance, screening, broadcasting, and information network transmission of works. Therefore, when creating a work, the author needs to consider the local legal provisions to ensure that his work meets the scope of copyright protection.

The examples of foreign modern literary thoughts and works influenced by China are as follows: Lu Xun, the pioneer of modern Chinese literature, had many references to Western literary ideas and techniques in his works. Lu Xun's "Madman's Diary","The True Story of Ah Q" and other novels all adopted modern narrative techniques and symbolism. In the 1930s, Chinese literature was influenced by Japan's invasion of China and began to turn to the subject of national suffering. In the 1940s, Chinese literature was influenced by Western culture and began to explore human nature and social issues. These works included Lao She's Teahouse and Cao Yu's Thunderstorm. 3. After the 1950s, Chinese literature began to turn to the subject matter of expressing personal destiny, such as Bai Juyi's Song of Everlasting Sorrow, Du Fu's Spring View, etc. At the same time, Chinese literature also began to borrow the narrative techniques and ideas of foreign literature, such as Wang Xiaobo's Golden Age and Mo Yan's Red Sorghums Family. After the 1980s, Chinese literature began to move toward the international stage and began to send literary talents and works to the West. The works of Mo Yan, Yu Hua, Jia Pingao and other Chinese writers were influenced by Western modernism and post-modernism, as well as Chinese culture.

Rewriting a literary work may involve copyright issues. Whether or not it is an copyright violation depends on the method and content of the rewrite. If the literary work being rewritten is an adaptation of the original work, such as adapting a novel into another novel or adapting an article into another article, then this situation may involve copyright issues. Because the copyright owners of the original work might think that this adaptation violated their copyright. If the literary work is similar to the original work and does not have the permission of the copyright owner of the original work, it may also cause copyright problems. This is because the copyright owner of the original work may think that this similarity is a violation of copyright. If the literary work is different from the original work and does not have the permission of the copyright owner of the original work, it may also cause copyright problems. This is because the copyright owner of the original work may think that such a difference is a violation of copyright. If the literary work that was adapted complied with the copyright law and was approved by the copyright owner of the original work, then the act of adaptation would not be considered an act of copyright violation. However, if the literary work that was rewritten did not comply with the provisions of copyright law or did not obtain the permission of the copyright owner of the original work, then the act of rewrite may constitute an act of copyright violation. Whether or not a literary work is a violation of copyright depends on the method and content of the rewrite. If you are not sure whether it is a violation of copyright, it is best to consult a professional lawyer.

In China, the copyright of a work was protected from the day it was created. The author's right of authorization, right of modification, right to protect the integrity of the work, etc., were all protected for 50 years after the creator's death.

The copyright of a book published abroad is limited to a foreign country. It can no longer be published in the country. Generally, the author's copyright has already belonged to a foreign publishing house, and the publishing house has published the book in the country. In this case, the domestic publishing house could not publish the book itself, even if the book had already been published in the country, it could not be reprinted. Of course, if the author's copyright had already belonged to a domestic publishing house and the publishing house had published the book abroad, the domestic publishing house could still reprint the book in China. However, they had to abide by some copyright laws and regulations, such as paying copyright fees to foreign publishing houses and obtaining permission from foreign publishing houses. It should be noted that even if the copyright has already belonged to a foreign publishing house, if the story, character image, etc. of the book have undergone major changes or the original copyright party has made changes to the book, the original copyright party may raise an objection and ask the domestic publishing house to stop reprinting the book. Therefore, before publishing any books, authors and publishing houses are advised to consult copyright laws and regulations to ensure that their rights and interests are fully protected.
