Subject
Anti-monopoly rules and enforcement in China.
Significance
Beijing late last year consolidated its anti-monopoly authorities within a single organisation, the State Administration for Market Regulation.
Impacts
The internet economy will be a major focus of future legislation and anti-monopoly action.
Regulators will seek a balance between protecting intellectual property and preventing foreign companies charging excessive licensing fees.
Anti-monopoly regulations may be used more selectively and aggressively if economic tensions with the United States are not de-escalated.
