在设立合营企业时，合营合同中通常会包含不竞争条款。通常而言，不竞争条款会对从事与合营企业相竞争业务的合营方在一定期限和一定地域内从事该等业务进行某些限制。
中国《反垄断法》[1] 于2008年正式实施。此后，中国反垄断执法机构颁布了一系列实施细则和规定。但是，这些细则和规定（包括《反垄断法》本身）均未对合营合同中的不竞争条款做出具体规定。鉴于此，本文的目的旨在简要探讨合营企业背景中不竞争条款在反垄断法下的合法性，以及在合营交易中谈判不竞争条款的基本原则。 Continue Reading 合营合同中不竞争条款的反垄断法分析

Introduction
Non-compete clauses (“NCCs”) are very often included in joint venture (“JV”) contracts in the course of JV establishment. NCCs normally operate to prevent JV parties from engaging in business in competition with the JV entity, for a specified period and within a specified geographical area.
The PRC Anti-monopoly Law[i] (“AML”) came into effect in 2008, and since then PRC competition authorities have issued a number of rules and regulations in connection with the AML. However, none of these rules and regulations (including the AML itself) sets forth specific provisions regarding the regulation of NCCs in JV contracts. As such, this article considers the legality of NCCs under the AML and the basic principles for the negotiation of NCCs in JV transactions.

Myanmar’s incumbent president U Thein Sein took office on March 2011 and since then the new government has become quasi-civilian, bringing an end to military rule. The new government has also undertaken economic and political reforms to encourage Western countries to suspend economic sanctions and to attract foreign investment.[ii]
Currently, China is the largest investor in Myanmar, providing US$20 billion in foreign direct investment according to the Directorate of Investment and Company Administration of Myanmar. Over many years China, and Chinese investors, have established good relationships with Myanmar’s government and obtained a ‘head-start’ in this regard over many other foreign investors who until recently, were prohibited from investing in Myanmar. However, with the changing political, social and regulatory environment in Myanmar, Chinese investors must consider new strategies to ensure the long-term success of their investments.
