> you have misconception and what's the "correct-conception"?[1] I'm curious because I get what parent means in terms of intellectual property issues in China but I don't get what do you mean from your comment, especially the fact that you include "other party states" - is it some sort of general rule that you're hinting at? [1] funny, I just realised that there is no antonym of "misconception"

Not really funny, as nouns in general do not have antonyms.

  Generally nouns prefixed with mis- do; sometimes you just remove the mis- part eg. understanding vs misunderstanding, management vs mismanagement etc.

    You make my point. Your examples are not pairs of antonyms. Management is not the opposite of mismanagement.

Maybe he means that China is less like a country and more like an organized crime syndicate wearing a nation's clothes?

  Like US during McCarthy era.

  I had the impression that parent was implying that it’s not surprising for China to invoke IP protection - which is not the case with crime syndicates for obvious reasons.

Verconception? - truth, 7 hits on google. Orthoconception? - straight, also 7 hits. Benconception? - good, 80 hits off topic. What else...? At least in science education, misconceptions are so vastly more common than correct conceptions, that it makes sense there's a compact negative form but not a positive one. /s
