Chamber book presentation: China’s Anti-Monopoly Law - The First Five Years Go back »
2013-08-21 | Beijing
On the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the Anti-Monopoly law, European Chamber invites Adrian Emch, co-editor of the book China’s Anti-Monopoly Law – The First Five Years, to explore how this book can enable a broader audience of practitioners, public officials and scholars to understand what happens inside the Chinese agencies and the Chinese competition law system on 20th August, 2013 in Beijing.
This volume, comprised of 27 highly informative contributions by more than 40 Chinese government officials, academics, economists, in-house lawyers and private practitioners introduces novice practitioners to the complexities of antitrust law in China and provides new insight for those already working in the field.
The book pulls back the curtain and affords outsiders a fuller view of the enforcement apparatus and procedures. In doing so, the book does valuable service by increasing the transparency of the Chinese system and expanding the ability of observers to analyze the system, debate its operations, and engage the enforcement process intelligently.
Among other contributions, the book provides a superb tour through MOFCOM’s merger control process. Chapters by government officials provide helpful additions to our understanding of decision-making and priority setting within NDRC and SAIC. It contains the best study to date of “administrative litigation“– the set of legal controls that confines the discretion of China’s government bodies.
