Abstract According to the newly revised Anti-Monopoly Law in 2022, those who violate the provisions of the Anti-Monopoly Law and constitute a crime will be investigated for criminal responsibility, which is of great significance to the construction of China’s anti-monopoly criminal liability system. It is necessary and rational for China to establish a criminal anti-monopoly liability system based on limited punishment against monopolistic conduct. In view of the differences in the harmfulness of various monopolistic behaviors, the scope of application of limited criminalization of monopolistic conducts should include horizontal monopoly agreements and abuse of market dominance. Among the criminal constituent elements of monopoly crime, the criminal object is the fair competition in the socialist market economic order; the harmful consequences of monopoly crime include significant economic damage and anti-monopoly injury; the criminal subject includes natural persons and units; the subjective aspect of monopoly crime is direct intent that the perpetrators know monopolistic conducts they engaged will inevitably cause harmful consequences such as the exclusion of market competition and damage to consumer welfare, and yet they hope for the occurrence of such consequences. As to the legislative mode, it is suggested that China should adopt the code model that conforms to our legislative tradition, and realize the reasonable connection between anti-monopoly criminal punishment and anti-monopoly administrative punishment.
