- Market regulation
Analysis
In Chinese consumer protection law and company law, market regulation refers to the overseeing and intervening in market actors’ conduct in the markets. In American law, the lead federal regulator for consumer market regulation is the Fair Trade Commission and the financial regulator is the SEC. The FTC policy whitepapers discuss the topic; the SEC has a market regulation division. A significant difference from the English usage is that China has a specific market regulation agency and will make references to the appropriate agency for market regulation, which impliedly excludes the labor and financial regulators.
