BEIJING, March 20 (Reuters) - Chinese companies looking to make acquisitions abroad will not be hampered by Beijing's rejection of Coca-Cola's bid to buy the country's top juice maker, Huiyuan, China's deputy commerce minister, Chen Jian, said on Friday.
The rejection of Coca-Cola's proposed acquisition comes at a time when Chinese companies are ramping up their foreign investment plans, especially in the commodities and resources sector. (Reporting by Langi Chiang; Editing by Ken Wills)
