此次调查包括了针对一个盗版组织采取的行动,微软称,相信该组织是"全球最大的此类团体"。调查可能有助于缓解美国政府的失望情绪。华盛顿方面认为,中国当局缺乏打击侵犯知识产权行为的决心。这一问题已成为中美摩擦的一个重要源头。
The investigations - which involved action against one pirate syndicate that Microsoft said was believed to be "the largest of its kind in the world" - could help ease frustration9 in Washington about a perceived lack of determination among Chinese authorities to crack down on intellectual property violations10, an issue that has become a big source of Sino-US friction11.
