Challenges to and Reforms of Anti-Monopoly Law Enforcement System in the Context of a Unified National Market
In the era where accelerating the construction of a unified national market and strengthening the fundamental position of competition policy have become a part of the national development strategy,anti-monopoly law enforcement and fair competition review serve as not only the fundamental guarantees for the construction of a unified national market but also the dependent path of strengthening the fundamental position of competition policy.The current territory-oriented anti-monopoly law enforcement system plays a limited role in addressing the issue of local protectionism,and the fair competition review system lacks sufficient rigid constraints in optimizing local industrial policies and the current disconnection of anti-monopoly law enforcement and fair competition review that each operates independently hinders the formation of institutional synergy.These issues need to be solved urgently,which relies on the guidance of satisfying the needs of constructing a unified national market,continued efforts to push forward reforms of the anti-monopoly law enforcement system,the establishment of a vertical system of anti-monopoly law enforcement and fair competition review within the central-local relationship on the basis of clarifying the legal status of competition policy in the constitutional law,the reshaping of the Anti-monopoly Commission of the State Council at the central level to combine anti-monopoly law enforcement and fair competition review and consistently contribute to the independence and authority of anti-monopoly law enforcement,so as to comprehensively strengthen the function of anti-monopoly law enforcement and achieve the rigid constraints of fair competition review,and jointly promote harmonious integration of effective market and active government,and robustly advance the construction of a unified national market.
