2016年3月11日，国务院办公厅印发《关于促进医药产业健康发展的指导意见》（以下简称“《指导意见》”），就促进医药产业健康发展提出了若干新政策。其中，《指导意见》明确提出：“探索医疗器械生产企业与金融租赁公司、融资租赁公司合作，为各类所有制医疗机构提供分期付款采购大型医疗设备的服务。”对于医疗设备融资租赁行业而言，这无疑是一个利好消息。
近年来，随着医疗改革的深入和医疗需求的增加，各医疗机构购买和更新设备（尤其是大型设备）的需求持续增长，使得医疗设备融资租赁市场迎来高速增长期。但同时，由于医疗设备的特殊性，医疗设备融资租赁的出租人和承租人均受到比普通设备融资租赁更为严格的监管，在一定程度上制约了医疗设备融资租赁行业的发展。

ow It Happens?
It was an ordinary Tuesday morning in February when Mandy, a senior accountant in MCA Corporation Ltd, a major US machinery manufacturing company, received 2 emails from company’s CEO Steve Green. This email address was not Mr. Green’s usual one but Mandy did not pay much attention to this since Mr. Green did on occasion use alternative email addresses.
The email came with the subject ‘Urgent and Confidential’. The first line of Mr. Green’s email stated “Below information is highly confidential, please communicate with me via this email and do not copy in anyone else”. Mandy read on. According to the email, Mr. Green was currently in China conducting a top secret M&A deal and was being supported by a firm named Elite Consulting. The email attached two bills from Elite Consulting requesting immediate payment of in total USD$4,320,000. As prompt and efficient as Mandy always is, she wired the amount on the same day to the Chinese bank accounts that was indicated in the email.
The next morning, Mandy was shocked to see Mr. Green pass by her office thinking ‘shouldn’t he be in China?’ All of sudden, the unfamiliar email address with nobody else copied, the mysterious consulting firm, top secret communications, urgent payment to China all pointed to MCA having been the victim of a fraud.

15年4月7日，国家工商行政管理总局（工商总局）正式颁布《关于禁止滥用知识产权排除、限制竞争行为的规定》（工商知产反垄断规定）。这是具体实施中国《反垄断法》第五十五条所确认的知识产权领域一般原则的首部规则。工商知产反垄断规定引入安全港机制以确认某些与知识产权相关限制的合法性。
2015年，国务院反垄断委员会授权四家机构，负责起草关于禁止滥用知识产权的反垄断指南。其中，工商总局于2016年2月5日公布其知产反垄断指南草稿的第七稿（工商知产反垄断指南），国家发展和改革委员会（发改委）则于2015年12月31日公布其草稿的第二稿（发改委知产反垄断指南）。工商总局与发改委的知产反垄断指南均设有知识产权领域的安全港制度。

多个司法管辖区经营的公司长期面临遵守各国监管制度的重担，这些监管制度差异巨大、日新月异。然而监管机构还一直在扩大监管内容和管辖范围。
英国《2010年反贿赂法》和美国《1977年反海外腐败法》等法规在领土范围之外也广泛适用，因此，涉足英美的外国公司可能面临巨额罚款，其雇员和董事也可能面临刑事处罚。
监管制度适用范围的扩大带来了更为透明的合规文化。我们发现在交易工作的尽职调查阶段，对于反贿赂和合规要求（以下简称“反贿赂和合规尽职调查”）的重视度大幅上升。
