CIIAI aims at setting up a platform among enterprises, students and scholars, encouraging open and rational communication among governmental agencies, experts and scholars, trade associations, business managers and legal practitioners, so as to promote due process and transparency in antitrust investigations, and to promote policy convergence where it is practical and advisable to do so.  This mandate is not country-specific, but it applies to China as well as to other jurisdictions.  To this end, the CIIAI’s activities will include the following
