Without Professor Xiaoye Wang, Chinese competition law would not be in the shape it is today. Perhaps the key competition statute – the Anti-Monopoly Law (AML) – would not even have been enacted without her relentless efforts to push the competition law agenda in China. Professor Wang’s 70th birthday saw the tenth anniversary of the AML’s entry into force. It presents the ideal moment to take stock of what has been achieved in Chinese competition law over the past decade and to put the spotlight on Professor Wang’s significant contributions. In this Liber Amicorum, Professor Wang’s colleagues, friends, and admirers in China and around the world come together to celebrate her achievements to date and to discuss recent competition law developments in China and other timely topics. The variety of contributors’ backgrounds (academics, enforcers, lawyers, economists) demonstrates the abundance and range of the issues brought out in the book.

Given the rapid development of China’s antitrust regime and the changes to the Anti-Monopoly Law on the horizon, this ode to one of the competition law pioneers in China, is a welcome occasion to look at some of the most significant issues in China and where improvements could be made.

This book is an appropriate testimonial to the great contribution of Wang Xiaoye to competition law. Professor Wang is an excellent pioneer of competition law in China. She has played a decisive role for introducing and developing competition law in China, and also contributed greatly to the convergence of competition laws and policies in the world, especially in Asia through her active exchange and cooperation with scholars and practitioners worldwide. This book brings together leading academics, practitioners and enforcers from around the world, who focus on important competition law issues.

China’s Antimonopoly Law system has, in a very short space of time, established itself as one of the most significant in the world, on par with Europe and the United States. Academics, practitioners, the Regulators and the Courts in China have needed to manage and be adaptable to a complex and historically unparalleled transition from a centrally planned economy to the highly diverse and fast changing economy it is today. This book celebrates the significant and often ground-breaking contributions that Professor Wang Xiaoye has made to this. It is a tour de force of the remarkable achievements that have been made in such a small space of time in the field of competition law and policy in China and is a timely and insightful commentary on some of the most important Antimonopoly Law issues we face. It deserves a place on the bookshelves of all who study, work, or have interest in this field.

It is unimaginable for one to understand the development of Chinese Anti-Monopoly Law without understanding Professor Wang Xiaoye’s contribution. Prof. Wang’s work spans far beyond her voluminous academic articles and books on competition issues. Her influence on the enforcement of the law, her efforts in facilitating international communications and her dedications to teaching and her students have been and will continue to play a big role in Chinese competition community.

Legislators, regulators, scholars, practitioners, in-house, students, and the public at large contribute to the adoption, development and enforcement of laws. But some do more than others. Professor Wang Xiaoye, for her part, has not only contributed to the development of the anti-monopoly law in China; she has literally shaped it. Very few will ever achieve what she has done.

This book is more than just a collection of essays from friends in celebration of Professor Wang Xiaoye’s remarkable achievements, it also presents in a well-organized and highly readable manner fundamental and specific issues on competition law and policy in China. The publication of this work is a timely reminder of the fast development of the Chinese competition law regime, as the Anti-monopoly Law recently celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2018 and the Anti-monopoly Bureau of the State Administration for Market Regulation also became the single antitrust enforcement authority in China in the same year.
