BEIJING // China’s decision to relax rules on the way it obtains foreign technology has stemmed from pressure from countries concerned that their companies are being shut out, analysts say.The loosening of restrictions that required Chinese technology to be bought for government contracts follows pressure from the US and the EU over what were seen as protectionist measures.
China’s ministry of science and technology has published draft rules saying that to be eligible for consideration for government purchase, high-tech products must have patents and trademarks registered in China. Previously companies had to show patents were developed solely in China or the trademark was first lodged there.
