The Antimonopoly Law Draft: A Preview of Things to Come?
Wednesday, November 23, 2005
From the American Chamber of Commerce (Shanghai):
AmCham Shanghai Legal Committee invites you to attend "The Antimonopoly Law Draft: A Preview of Things to Come?", a luncheon discussion of China's draft Antimonopoly Law. The enactment of China's first comprehensive competition law, potentially in 2006, may have significant repercussions for American businesses in China. The discussion will survey the evolution of the draft law, explore the draft law's incorporation of foreign antitrust law concepts, highlight areas in which the draft law deviates from prevailing international practices, and flag unresolved issues about the enforcement and implementation of the law. The discussion will focus on areas of concern for foreign businesses in China, including the proposed merger review framework, rules against abusive practices by "dominant" firms, and the relationship between Chinese competition policy and intellectual property rights.
