A senior IT official said yesterday the Chinese government will step up its support for software innovation, especially the development of core software and other patentable programs.

Wang Bingke, deputy director of the Department of Economic Restructuring and Operations under the Ministry of Information Industry, said the ministry will encourage software enterprises to cooperate and form innovative unions, so as to gradually build an innovative, home-grown technological system.
