Chinese food company Tingyi (Cayman Islands) Holdings Corp has had JPY43.5bn (US$521.6m) of cash injected into it from Asahi Breweries, according to Nikkei reports.

The move comes after Asahi transferred part of its stake in Tingyi-Asahi Beverages Holdings to Chinese food company Ting Hsin Group in late September – the parent company of Tingyi (Cayman Islands) Holdings.
