Coke’s proposed China investment of the Huiyuan Juice Group is testing China’s current anti-monopoly law according to AFP.

The bid by Coca-Cola of $2.4 billion bid for Huiyuan would be the biggest China investment by a foreign firm.

The move by Coke to acquire Huiyuan and further invest in China comes just a month after the China government implemented China’s anti-monopoly law and contradicts the original intent of the reform.
