The U.S. Chamber of Commerce accused China Monday of using its 2008 anti-monopoly law to unfairly promote its own national champions at the expense of foreign firms. “China appears to be using the AML (anti-monopoly law) to promote industrial policy goals, even at the expense of competition — the very goal that other countries’ competition laws are designed to enforce,” the Chamber said in a new report. The report is the latest salvo from the business community over China’s administration of the six-year-old anti-monopoly law. Last week the U.S.-China Business Council voiced many of the same concerns in its own publication. “MOFCOM (China’s Ministry of Commerce) has used merger remedies to clear the way for national champions to achieve greater market concentrations both within China and abroad, to negotiate down prices on goods and IP (intellectual property) for domestic consumers/licensees, and at least in some cases to protect famous domestic brands,” the U.S. Chamber of Commerce report said. The U.S. Chamber said anti-monopoly investigations by MOFCOM and other Chinese anti-monopoly law enforcement authorities also violate basic expectations of due process.
