Chinese Merger Control Law

Abstract

Having explored the theoretical backgrounds of the competition policy orientation in the Chinese merger review regime, the next chapters will focus on the practical implementation of these policies. Before the scope of application, the review process and the substantive test will be discussed in depth, the merger decisions that MOFCOM has published so far under the AML will be briefly outlined. In this chapter, only some basic facts and the substantive reasoning of MOFCOM will be summarised; a more thorough analysis of the decisions and their potential implications will follow in the succeeding chapters.
