Chinese Antitrust Exceptionalism: How the Rise of China Challenges Global Regulation by Angela Huyue Zhang

Abstract

HOW IS CHINA DISTINCT? What are the implications of Chinese exceptionalism? Chinese Antitrust Exceptionalism: How the Rise of China Challenges Global Regulation ("Chinese Antitrust Exceptionalism ") explores these questions in the context of antitrust law and policy making. The book, authored by Angela Huyue Zhang, positions the relatively young Chinese antitrust regime in contrast to its more mature global counterparts, namely, the European Union (EU) and the United States (US). In this analysis, Chinese Antitrust Exceptionalism considers how China crafts and enforces antitrust policy, as well as how its counterparts enforce their policies against China. While it focuses on this one particular domain, the book serves to highlight the tension between an increasingly powerful Chinese state and the Western liberal democratic order.
