Features: China's anti-monopoly legislation has been in the works for a decade, but the Anti-Monopoly Law has yet to be enacted. The main reason lies in the fact that China's Anti-Monopoly Law must address not only economic monopolies but also administrative monopolies. Whether a single Anti-Monopoly Law can resolve China's administrative monopoly issues and whether Chinese enterprises have currently reached a scale sufficient to form monopolistic positions are some of the questions that warrant deep reflection. This book explores several major issues in China's anti-monopoly legislation against the backdrop of the EU's competition law legislation and practice.
