        China has copyright law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property_in_China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property_in_China "In most cases the copyright term is the life of the author plus 50 years, but for cinematographic and photographic works and works created by a company or organization the term is 50 years after first publication."
