Bankrupt foreign-owned chocolate factory Coline Food Co. was sold off at an auction on Friday, after a previous auction failed to find a buyer. The company has been bought by Chinese grain producer Fengyuan Group for 95m yuan (US$11.4m).
The move represents something of a landmark, as Coline is the first non-Chinese firm to be auctioned off after going out of business.
The company, which is backed with Malaysian money, went out of business last October.
