Riassunto

The China Anti-Monopoly Law (AML), which became effective August 1, 2008, is the first comprehensive competition law enacted by China. The AML prohibits a broad array of agreements between competitors and commercial counterparties, as well as competitive conduct by single firms that may harm the competitive process. In addition, it establishes a mandatory administrative review procedure for mergers and acquisitions between companies meeting certain sales thresholds, globally or in China. Beyond these fundamental provisions, the AML prohibits certain types of administrative abuses believed to be prevalent in China and establishes a complex set of administrative agencies with broad powers to enforce the law. Anti-Monopoly Law and Practice in China is the first comprehensive treatment of the AML and the practice of antitrust law under this new system. Each chapter on the substantive provisions of the law includes practical advice on approaches to meeting the challenge of complying with the law's requirements, including analysis of likely interpretations and applications of the AML based on precedents in related economic laws and actions by other administrative agencies. Where policy choices are uncertain, the text will explore probable developments in China based on comparable applications of competition laws in other jurisdictions.

Recensione:

This is an absolutely amazing book. Amazing because it is clearly written, comprehensive and highly relevant and that is a rare beast among law books...If you are an English speaking lawyer involved with China, you need to read this book and keep it on your shelf. Now. (China Law Blog)

What is most striking about this book is its breadth and depth: it discusses almost all conceivable issues related to the AML, and it discusses them in a thoughtful manner. (Wentong Zheng, Competition Law Journal)
