Abstract
Against the backdrop of a society with liberalizing but still firmly entrenched legal norms of collective ownership and economic planning, the government of the People’s Republic of China enacted the Anti-Monopoly Law in 2007. This article will explain the history against which the AML was passed, followed by an analysis of the AML itself. This discussion will be divided into two parts: a description of the AML’s statutory structure as promulgated, and a synopsis of subsequent regulatory enactments operating upon the law. In conclusion, the article will consider the implications of the AML for the China of today and tomorrow.
