The Anti-monopoly Law of the People's Republic of China is a law formulated to prevent and stop monopolistic behavior, protect fair competition in the market, improve the efficiency of economic operation, safeguard consumers' interests and social public interests, and promote the healthy development of the socialist market economy.
It has been implemented since August 1 2008, and it is divided into 8 chapters and 57 articles, including general provisions, monopoly agreements, abuse of market dominance, concentration of operators and so on.
On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the implementation of the Anti-Monopoly Law on 20 18, the State Council Press Office held a special press conference on this issue. Gan Lin, deputy director of the State Administration of Market Supervision, revealed at the press conference that the Anti-Monopoly Law is about to be revised. He pointed out that with the rapid development of China's economy and society, the global economic environment has changed, and some provisions in the 2008 Anti-Monopoly Law can no longer fully meet the current and future needs. "In the process of revision and research, efforts should be made to solve the most urgent problems encountered in law enforcement practice."

Compared with the "old law", the "Revised Draft (Draft for Comment)" is intended to be included in the new Internet format for the first time, greatly raising the punishment standard.
