China Court Dismisses First Anti-monopoly Case. That Figures.
2008-09-07 22:55:00 Xinhua story out today on how "The No. 1 Intermediate People's Court of Beijing on Thursday rejected an anti-monopoly case considered the first of its kind in China." (h/t to Zhongguofalu) The court dismissed the case on "procedural" grounds. It appears the ruling was based on the plaintiffs' having delayed their filing, even though the alleged wrongdoing continues. Though it is very difficult to piece together a Chinese court decision from an English language article in a Chinese newspaper, I am still not surprised by the result. I am not surprised by the result simply because I simply do not believe China's courts are ready for antitrust cases and their response to this will be to dismiss them on whatever grounds they can find. We will hunt down the Chinese language decision on this case and will report back on it if it presents anything new.

National Security Review Under China's New Anti-Monopoly Law
2008-08-29 23:48:00 By Steve Dickinson China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) recently reported on its plans for forming an interagency committee to review the national security impacts of foreign acquisitions of Chinese companies. Contrary to many of the news reports in both English and Chinese, this is not a new policy adopted by the NDRC. The formation of such a committee is consistent with longstanding China policy and it is required by law. China's Anti Monopoly Law (AML) became effective on August 1, 2008. Article 31 of the AML provides for national security review of foreign M&A transactions as follows: Article 31. If the merger with or acquisition of domestic enterprises by foreign investors or other forms of concentration involving foreign investors concerns national security, in addition to the review for concentration of undertakings in accordance with the provisions of this Law, it shall be examined for national security review in accordance with relevant regulat...

China's Anti-Monopoly Law. People, We've Got The Rules.
2008-08-27 18:39:00 By Steve Dickinson On August 3, 2008, the PRC State Council released its long awaited merger notification rules: Regulation on Notification Thresholds for Concentrations of Undertakings, State Council Regulation Number 529, available online in Chinese here. These merger notification rules are required by Article 21 of the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law (“AML”), which requires prior notification for mergers meeting the State Council rules. Since failure to provide notification renders the merger void, the requirement has be viewed with concern, particularly since no hint was given in the AML on what the standard would be. The particular concern was that an excessively low standard would cause excessive involvement of the PRC authorities in international mergers not specifically targeted at China. Under the new rules, there are two notification thresholds: one for foreign M&A transactions with an impact on China and another one for M&A (mergers and acquisitions) transactions with purely...

China's New Anti Monopoly Law. A Post About Nothing Cause Nothing Fro
2008-07-30 08:49:00 We must not make a scarecrow of the law, Setting it up to fear the birds of prey, And let it keep one shape, till custom make it Their perch and not their terror. William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure My friend Stan Abrams over at China Hearsay posts on why he has not posted on China's new Anti-Monopoly law. Stan's explanation is essentially that becuase there are no regulations explaining the new law and and no real evidence as to how it will be enforced or even if it will be enforced there is nothing to say on it. Stan is dead on and too will say nothing on it beyond repeating what I said back in a November post: I actually began my career as a big firm antitrust lawyer, and about all I can muster so far regarding the new law (set to become effective on August 1, 2008) is that it is really going to depend on its enforcement and I for one do not see how it can be soundly enforced when there are probably only a handful of lawyers and judges in all of China with a deep und...

eBay wields the clunking fist of monopoly…again
2008-04-10 14:32:00 Last year when Google Checkout was setup, eBay prohibited its use throughout its entire global network: strike one for anti-competitiveness, now it’s piloting a scheme which makes paying via PayPal mandatory. Strike two. Now I’ve not used Google Checkout (yet) and I’m quite a fan of PayPal: I find it quick, convenient and fairly hassle-free for both buying and selling, however I have more than a few concerns with its coupling with eBay. Primarily my issue with PayPal and its owner eBay rears its head when I want to sell my stuff, because I get charged first to list the product on eBay whether it sells or not - a policy that Amazon.co.uk Marketplace have been sensible enough to scrap - then a second time if my buyer decides to pay through PayPal; and since I can’t choose my own gateway I’m locked into the service. But at least I had the option to offer another form of payment, even if that meant eBay covered their ears and went “la la la, not listening” because ...

Gonorrhea and Monopoly...
2008-03-03 08:51:00 Hello everyone! How?s your Monday going? Monday?s are pretty shitty especially when you?ve got lots to do. My advice is to chill out, relax and watch everyone else work. There?s always tomorrow and the day after to work your ass off!The search for Mas Selamat Kastari continues in Singapore. The search has brought our boys in blue all over the island. Just last night, I saw the Gurkha contingent outside my place. I live at Upper Thomson and the nature reserve is just next to us. So yeah, they did a search and were gone after midnight.One can only hope that they find this screwed-up terrorist soon. I called Chee Soon Juan a disease not too long ago. Chee is a genital wart. A bloody nuisance that doesn?t go away! Mas Selamat on the other hand, is gonorrhea. When you?ve got gonorrhea and you pee, your dick feels like it?s gonna explode. That?s what terrorists do right? They blow themselves up. Enough said!!Ann and I have been busy playing Monopoly at night. It sure beats drinking myself...
