>World's biggest trade pact
全球最大自貿協定籤署
After eight years of negotiations, 15 Asia-Pacific countries on Sunday signed the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), the world's biggest trade pact, a move considered a massive coup for regional economic integration, multilateralism and free trade.
歷時8年談判，亞太15國於11月15日正式籤署區域全面經濟夥伴關係協定(RCEP)，這是全球最大的自貿協定。RCEP協定的籤署被認為是區域經濟一體化、多邊主義和自由貿易的巨大勝利。
The agreement involves all 10 member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and five of its major trading partners - China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
RCEP成員國包括東協10國與它們的五個主要貿易夥伴——中國、日本、韓國、澳大利亞和紐西蘭。
The RCEP agreement covers a market of 2.2 billion people, or almost 30% of the world's population, with a combined GDP of $26.2 trillion, or about 30% of global GDP.
RCEP協定覆蓋22億人口，約佔世界總人口的30%，GDP總規模達26.2萬億美元，約佔全球經濟總量的30%。
It is an unprecedented regional trading arrangement that comprises a diverse mix of developed, developing and least developed economies in the region, according to a joint statement issued by leaders of the participating countries.
RCEP成員國領導人在一份聯合聲明中稱，RCEP協定是一項前所未有的、由域內發達國家、發展中國家和最不發達國家參與的大型區域貿易安排。
The agreement "is critical to the region's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and will play an important role in building the region's resilience through an inclusive and sustainable post-pandemic economic recovery process," leaders said in the statement.
RCEP協定對於本地區應對新冠肺炎大流行至關重要，並將通過包容和可持續的疫後經濟復甦進程，為鍛造區域韌性發揮重要作用。
>China widens antitrust rules
網際網路反壟斷號角響起
The State Administration for Market Regulation recently unveiled proposals that include guidelines on how anti-monopoly measures should be applied to internet companies.
國家市場監管總局近日發布一份反壟斷指南，其中包含了針對網際網路企業的反壟斷措施。
The authority is seeking reviews and feedback on the proposals from the public through Nov 30.
這份指南將向社會公開徵求意見直至11月30日。
Dong Yizhi, a lawyer at Shanghai Joint Win Law Firm, said the draft rules reiterate that internet platform companies, including e-commerce marketplaces, must not abuse their dominant position to force merchants to "choose one platform over others" and block fair competition.
上海正策律師事務所律師董毅智認為，指南強調，包括電子商城在內的網際網路平臺不能濫用市場支配地位來迫使交易相對人在競爭性平臺間進行"二選一"，阻礙公平競爭。
The antitrust regulations are aimed at promoting fair and free competition in the market and promoting innovation, he said. The regulations target unfair pricing, below-cost and tie-in sales, restricted transactions and other unreasonable trading conditions. It would also consider whether a transaction treats different customers differently based on big data, payment ability, consumption preferences and usage habits, Dong said.
董毅智說，這份反壟斷指南旨在促進市場主體公平自由競爭，鼓勵創新，劍指不公平價格、低於成本銷售、搭售、限定交易、附加不合理交易條件等行為，以及基於大數據、支付能力、消費喜好和用戶習慣而對不同用戶採取差別交易待遇的行為。
