Partner Yong Bai (Beijing) and Foreign Legal Counsel Dayu Man (Hong Kong) are the co-authors of "Merger Control in China: a Practical Guide" on the Chinese merger control review regime under the Anti-Monopoly Law and its implementation rules. It discusses the types of transactions subject to notification, consequences of failure to notify, timing of the review, potential clearance remedies, and required submission details.

The Note has a flow chart to show the indicative timeline of the merger control process and also a table to summarise the milestone dates of the regulator’s published decisions.
