China's Anti-Monopoly Law Relevant Market Definition Guidelines Emphasize Fact-Based Analysis
July 15, 2009
China Issues Finalised Guidelines on Relevant Market Definition | www.mwechinalaw.com
China's Anti-Monopoly Law Relevant Market Definition Guidelines, which are dated May 24, 2009, and were released on July 7, 2009 by its State Council Anti-Monopoly Commission, will be applied by all 3 agencies charged with enforcing the Law. With a few exceptions, determining the existence of a violation of the AML depends on identifying a market in which competition has been restrained. The Guidelines are generally within the international antitrust mainstream and emphasize fact-based analysis, but have some distinctive aspects. The short enforcement history of the AML thus far raises questions as to how the Guidelines will be followed in practice by MOFCOM, SAIC and NDRC.

China's Anti-Monopoly Law is about more than protecting competition or competitors.

To Protect Competition or Competitors? Comments on Chinese Anti-Monopoly Law | webreprints.djreprints.com
China's Anti-Monopoly Law (AML), which because effective in 2008, is about more than protecting competition or competitors in the way these concepts iare used in American Antitrust. Instead, the AML aims to instill a "competition culture" by reaching beyond the core offenses of private price fixing and monopolization. Rather, the AML endorses competition in a way that aims to challenge the administrative monopolies that exist at the local and regional level. By doing so, it aims to operate as an internal free trade agreement that could make China an even more efficient economic power.

OCEANS, CO2 EMISSION AND "OCEAN PROTECTION 101"
July 12, 2009
Copenhagen and the Oceans | www.guardian.co.uk
First of all, this issue has nothing to do with “global warming” due to CO2 emission. It is, however, based on similarly “precise” models ( e.g. the Club of Rome doomsday prediction.) This time, even the premises ( or inputs ) into the models varied wildly: From”… 25% CO2 emitted to the atmosphere by human activities since the industrial revolution …” ( see “Archive for the ‘Ocean Acidification’ Category “, Science Academies Aiming to Raise the Profile of Ocean Acidification, June 2nd, 2009 ) to “…..about 40% of the extra CO2 entering the atmosphere due to human activity is being absorbed by natural carbon sinks, mostly by the oceans….”( see Catherine Brahic, “Climate myths: Human CO2 emissions are too tiny to matter,” New Scientist, 16 May 2007.) Secondly, CO2 is only water-soluble, when pressure is maintained. After pressure drops the CO2 gas will try to escape to air ( e.g. opening the bottle of a soda water.)
