If approved, it would be Coca-Cola's largest acquisition in China and, according to analysts, the biggest ever foreign takeover of a Chinese firm. The anti-trust review is required by Chinese rules as the combined global turnover of the two firms was more than 10?billion yuan ($1.45 billion) in 2007, and as they each made over 400 million yuan in China. The commerce ministry has said it would review the takeover according to the principles of a market-oriented economy. Analysts have said the planned deal is a litmus test of China's anti-monopoly law that took effect in August. The bid has until March 23 to pass the review, according to the statement. ![]() ![]()
