The Chinese State and Chinese Tech Giants: A race for technological influence? The Chinese Anti-Monopoly Law and Chinese Platform Companies

Master thesis | Asian Studies (60 EC) (MA)

This thesis investigates the link between the PRC's Anti-Monopoly Law and its broader economic development goals. The research illustrates that there is a link between these two. The Chinese Anti-Monopoly Law, a law that is mainly targeted towards Chinese Platform companies, is argued having a strong control mechanism towards Chinese Platform companies. This controlling mechanism can guide Platform companies in the PRC government's economic and technology interests.
