就在昨天（2020年4月14日），国家市场监督管理总局（“市监总局”）重罚了三家山东原料药经销企业的反垄断行为。

简单来说，市监总局调查认定，三家企业在2015-2017年期间，控制了注射用葡萄糖酸钙原料药销售市场，取得在该市场上的市场支配地位。同时，三家企业（1）以不公平的高价向下游制剂生产企业销售商品；（2）强制要求制剂生产企业将生产出的葡萄糖酸钙注射液回售或按其指令销售，控制了葡萄糖酸钙注射液市场，造成葡萄糖酸钙注射液价格明显上涨，供应紧张。 Continue Reading 看看热闹和门道 – 3.255亿反垄断罚单是怎么来的？

Why Amend

The Foreign Investment Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “Foreign Investment Law”) that issued last year came into effect on  January 1, 2020 together with the supporting Regulations for the Implementation of the Foreign Investment Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “Implementation Regulations”). Upon its taking effect, the Foreign Investment Law repealed the three fundamental laws which previously regulated foreign-invested enterprises (“FIEs”) in China – the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Sino-foreign Equity Joint Ventures (the “Equity Joint Ventures Law”), the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Sino-foreign Contractual Joint Ventures (the “Contractual Joint Ventures Law”) and the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises (collectively referred to as the “Three Laws governing FIEs”), together with their corresponding implementation regulations and detailed implementation rules, were repealed thereafter.  As a result, the relevant provisions on corporate governance and control in the Three Laws governing FIEs no longer apply. Continue Reading Why not Use the Time of Telework to Amend the AOA of FIEs?
