Economic laws. Economic laws are a collection of laws and regulations which adjust social and economic relations arising from the state's intervening in, managing and regulating economic activities for the society's overall interests. They provide legal devices and an institutional framework for the state to conduct appropriate intervention in, and macro control of the market economy, thereby preventing malpractices resulting from spontaneous and blind operation of the market economy. By the end of August 2011 China had formulated 60 economic laws and a large number of related administrative and local regulations.

China has enacted the Budget Law, Price Law, and Law on the People's Bank of China to exercise macro-control and management over economic activities.

    中国重视通过法律保障市场主体之间的公平、有序竞争。反不正当竞争法是中国由计划经济向市场经济转轨时期制定的一部重要法律，借鉴国际经验，规定禁止仿冒、商业贿赂、虚假宣传、侵犯商业秘密、不正当有奖销售、诋毁竞争对手等不正当竞争行为，维护经营者公平竞争的权益。价格法规定国家实行并逐步完善宏观调控下主要由市场形成价格的机制，大多数商品和服务实行市场调节价，极少数商品和服务实行政府指导价或者政府定价。反垄断法对垄断协议、滥用市场支配地位、排除、限制竞争的经营者集中等垄断行为作了禁止性规定。中国依法对财税、金融、外汇、投资等体制进行改革，建立了与市场经济相适应的宏观管理体系。中国经济的市场化进程取得了举世瞩目的成就。

    中国积极履行在世界贸易组织框架内承担的义务，不断完善对外贸易法律制度，确立了社会主义市场经济条件下的对外贸易体制，规范了对外贸易经营者的权利和义务，健全了货物进出口、技术进出口和国际服务贸易管理制度，建立了具有中国特色的对外贸易调查制度和对外贸易促进体制，并根据世界贸易组织规则完善了贸易救济制度以及海关监管和进出口商品检验检疫制度，确立了统一、透明的对外贸易制度。中国对外贸易快速增长，进出口总额在世界贸易中的地位不断提升。2010年中国出口占世界出口的比重达10.4%。

China stresses the use of laws to safeguard fair and orderly competition among market players. The Anti-Unfair Competition Law is an important law formulated by China during its transition from the planned economy to the market economy. By drawing lessons from other countries, it makes provisions to forbid counterfeiting, commercial bribery, false publicity, infringement on trade secrets, unfair lottery-attached sales and vilifying competitors to safeguard the rights and interests of commercial operators and enable them to compete fairly and justly. The Price Law stipulates that the state institutes and gradually improves a mechanism under which prices are formed mainly by the market under the state's macro-economic control. The prices of most commodities and services shall be regulated by the market while the prices of a very small number of commodities and services shall be guided or fixed by the government. The Anti-Monopoly Law has prohibitive provisions on monopolistic agreements, abuse of dominant market positions, and concentration of business operators that eliminates or restricts competition. China has carried out reforms to its fiscal, taxation, banking, foreign exchange and investment systems, establishing a macro-management system suited to the market economy. Remarkable achievements have been made in the deregulation of markets within the Chinese economy.

China actively discharges its obligations within the framework of the WTO, constantly improves its legal system regarding foreign trade, and has established a foreign trade system suited to the socialist market economy. It has clearly defined the rights and obligations of those engaged in foreign trade, and has improved the system of managing import and export of goods, technologies and the international service trade. It has established a foreign trade survey and promotion system with Chinese characteristics. In the light of WTO rules, China has improved its trade remedy system, customs supervision, and import and export commodity inspection and quarantine system, and established a unified and transparent foreign trade system. China's foreign trade has been expanding rapidly, and the ratio of its total export-import volume to the international trade volumes keeps rising. In 2010 the ratio of China's exports in the world's total was 10.4 percent.
