China: Carlsberg on hunt for Chinese breweries

Carlsberg plans to purchase 6 breweries in the West of China. The Danish brewer would buy them, if the talks prove successful from a Chinese partner and would join them to its group - Wusu Brewery Group, according to the Danish News Digest.

If the Carlsberg succeeds accomplishing this step, then it would hold 90% market share of the region with 19 million inhabitants.
