Illegitimate Children

The inheritance dispute of Wahaha’s late founder, Zong Qinghou, intensifies as individuals claiming to be his illegitimate children sue for a share of his assets. This includes a $2.1 billion trust and a significant stake in the Wahaha Group. Despite Wahaha’s initial statement that the matter is a private family affair with no impact on business, the Hangzhou Shangcheng District Finance Bureau has intervened by establishing a special task force to address complaints and resolve the issue promptly.
