“Regulating for Competitiveness”: Perspectives from Tax, Banking & Employment Law
Join three scholars with expertise in Chinese tax law, banking & corporate law, and employment law for a fireside chat on the role of ‘competitiveness’ in various areas of regulation. We probe into two main questions in the Chinese context. First, what does ‘increasing competitiveness’ mean as a policy objective? Second, how does the phenomenon of ‘regulatory competition’ play out in the different fields of law?
