China's leading online shopping portal recently issued two reports that show the steps it has taken and progress it has made this year in fighting online counterfeits and piracy.

The reports describe how Taobao, Alibaba's online sales website, has been cooperating with police and intellectual property watchdogs nationwide in its battle.

One report showed that as of mid-December Taobao had helped police crack down on more than 1,000 cases of online violations, seized nearly 400 suspects and closed over 200 hideouts and factories.
