European Union Copyright Law: Directive 2006/116/EC
The Directive (93/98/EEC) harmonizes the terms of protection of copyright and neighbouring rights. The Directive establishes a total harmonization of the period of protection for each type of work and each related right in the Member States – e.g. 70 years after the death of the author for works and 50 years after the event setting the time running for neighbouring rights. Furthermore, it deals with other issues, such as the protection of previously unpublished works, of critical and scientific publications and of photographic works.

Chinese Copyright Law:

Seems pretty simple to me.
