The August 2007 enactment of China's Anti-Monopoly Law is only the latest stage in the growth over recent years of a significant body of competition law in mainland China and Hong Kong. This work will be a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the subject:-

• China: detailed treatment of the 2007 Chinese Anti-Monopoly Law and of the more specific provisions (Price Law, Unfair Competition, M&A Regulations etc) which preceded it.
• Hong Kong: comprehensive analysis of the sector-specific competition legislation, regulatory regimes and common law principles. (The proposed new Hong Kong competition legislation will be addressed either in the 1st edition or in a later supplement, depending on the timing of its passage through LegCo).
• In addition to a thorough treatment of the relevant legal rules and principles, the work will cover practical realities, administrative/procedural machinery, historical development and economic/political background.
• The team of authors includes leading competition lawyers from outside China as well as leading Hong Kong and China practitioners.
