China's enhanced awareness of intellectual property protection as well as its innovation output in science and technology over the past few years has been praised by Daren Tang, director general of the World Intellectual Property Organization.

"China's innovation is not just on culture and traditional knowledge, but increasingly also on science and technology," Tang told China Daily in an exclusive interview while attending the Third Belt and Road High-Level Conference on Intellectual Property in Beijing on Wednesday.

He lauded China's innovation achievements after this year's WIPO Global Innovation Index showed that the country now leads the world with 26 scientific and technological clusters in the top 100.
