Huang Yong Liber Amicorum - Leading and Riding the Tide of China’s Competition Law

This Liber Amicorum celebrates the scholarship and public service of Professor Huang Yong, a leading figure in the development of China’s Anti-Monopoly Law and a bridge between Chinese and global competition law communities. Spanning frontier issues, comparative perspectives, and the digital transformation of antitrust enforcement, this volume brings together over 20 distinguished scholars and practitioners to reflect on both the evolution of competition law and Professor Huang’s unique role in shaping it. The first section explores cutting-edge and cross-border issues, including state restraints, environmental sustainability, digital regulation, and merger control. The second focuses on the development and application of China’s Anti-Monopoly Law, with insights into merger review practices, resale price maintenance, litigation, and enforcement strategies. The final section turns to the digital economy, examining data-related market power, digital platform regulation, and emerging antitrust challenges in AI and SEP licensing. Together, these essays honor Professor Huang’s enduring legacy—as a pioneer in Chinese competition law, a global thought leader, and a mentor whose influence continues to shape the field.
