Philipsen'2 Published online: 20 September 2023 © China-EU School of Law 2023 On 7 and 8 April 2022, an online competition seminar was organized by the Faculty of Law of Maastricht University (UM), titled 'Competition Law and Policy: Recent Developments in China and the EU'.' The seminar resulted from a long collabora- tion between research institute METRO (based at the UM Faculty of Law) and two Chinese universities: the Central University of Finance and Economics (CUFE) and the China University of Political Science and Law (CUPL). The seminar was also organized within the context of the China-EU School of Law (based at CUPL and Hamburg University, with UM as one of the consortium partners). At the competition seminar, speakers from China and the EU presented their ongoing or recently published research. The range of topics included discussions on merger control, regulation of digital markets, recent amendments to competition legislation, and economic and empirical perspectives on competition law. Speakers included various high-profile academics in the field of competition law in China as well as Chinese PhD researchers (often former students of the China-EU School of Law) collaborating with their 'western' supervisors. This special issue of the China-EU Law Journal contains five of the contributions to the seminar, more particularly those that were presented there in a draft version and that in the meantime have been extended and updated. The contributions reflect the very recent amendments to the Chinese Anti-Monopoly Law as well as other developments in the regulation of digital markets in China and the EU, and incorpo- rates insights from both legal and economic literature. In the first contribution [insert Link https://doi.org/10.1007/s12689-023-00102- 7], Tao Wu and Yihan Wang (CUFE) critically examine the 2022 amendments to the Anti-Monopoly Law in China, focusing on the four main changes to the chap- ter on monopoly agreements.
