The U.S. Trump adiministration did not wait long before hardening its tone toward China. Barely a year in office, accusations of China violating American intellectual property rights （IPRs） have already been made. The White House then launched an investigation under Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act of 1974, arguing that China forces foreign companies to turn over technology secrets. Experts believe that the issue has become one of the main reasons behind the looming trade war between the world＇s two largest economies.
