Research On The Extraterritorial Application Of Nti-Monopoly Law Issues

With the rapid development of the economy, the territorial scope of the market has notmerely confined to one country, but been beyond the borders of the country. In theincreasingly close contact of economy at the same time, the behaviors whichinternationally limit market competition unceasingly increase. This has a bad effect on theorder of the inner market economy of a country. However, unified antitrust law is lackingin the world, and in order to fight for the interests of the state, every country put theirantitrust laws into extraterritorial application, especially the United States and theEuropean Union. The extraterritorial application is that their jurisdiction is used in theother countries’territory. Due to its particularity, it is easy to infringe upon the sovereigntyof other countries, which may cause contradictions and conflicts. To overcome theseexisting problems, many countries are actively seeking the solutions. China, as the world’ssecond largest economic entity, not only has a wide range of economic interests, but alsofaces many extraterritorial applications. Therefore, it is important to set up extraterritorialapplications in our antitrust law, but the clauses are simple and fuzzy, and difficult to dealwith the complex situation. So it needs us to revise them to protect interests of our country.
