China’s increased level of competition enforcement activity and the high profile reporting of its competition investigations have prompted growing attention and concern from US companies. Eighty-six percent of companies responding to the US-China Business Council’s (USCBC) 2014 member company survey indicated they are at least somewhat concerned about China’s evolving competition regime. USCBC released its report on Competition Policy and Enforcement in Chinain September as a part of its continued advocacy and monitoring on China’s Antimonopoly Law (AML) enforcement.
