The Anti-Monopoly Law (AML) of the People's Republic of China was promulgated in August of 2007 and came into effect on August 1 2008. It took the Chinese legislator almost 13 years to draft and pass the AML. It covers all three main categories of activities against competition: entering into monopolistic agreements of an anti-competitive nature, abusing a market dominant position and concentration of business operators which may have the effect of eliminating or restricting competition which meets with the thresholds.
