BEIJING AP – Coca-Cola Co. will have to submit its bid to buy a Chinese juice producer for review under China’s new anti-monopoly law, state television reported, setting up the first major test of the legislation.

Coca-Cola’s $2.5 billion offer last week for China Huiyuan Juice Group Ltd. already has stirred nationalist opposition. Comments posted on Chinese Web sites criticized the sale as the loss of a leading company to foreign owners.
