Jing Wang
Associate Professor in Commercial Law

Areas of interest

Working in the broad Commercial Law and Competition / Antitrust Law arena, Jing’s research over recent years focuses on Competition Law and Industrial Policy, examining whether market intervention and the activities of State-oriented monopolies were consistent with the protection of market competition, protection of efficiency and consumers, or whether non-competition interests are pursued. More recently, Jing has also focused on examining the interface between digital anti-consumer practices and antitrust regulation in the EU, US and China.
