Abstract

This chapter describes the evolution of competition law in recent years in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It discusses the reasons giving rise to the implementation of the Competition Ordinance, its major features, and the reaction of the small business sector to the new law. A number of enforcement actions have already been undertaken by the Hong Kong Competition Commission against small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and it is suggested that a focus on small enterprises is a logical and somewhat predictable step by the new agency.
