On Friday, multiple sources confirmed that Zong Fuli had resigned from her positions as legal representative, director, and chairman of Wahaha Group. The resignation has been processed through the company’s shareholders’ and board meetings. The move follows internal disagreements over Zong Fuli’s business expansion strategy. Her affiliated Hongsheng-related enterprises pursued market and brand initiatives that diverged from Wahaha’s traditional approach. Currently, Wahaha’s Shanghai factory introduced a new brand, “Wa Xiao Zong.” Zong Fuli remains the group’s second-largest shareholder, holding a 29.4% stake. Company insiders confirmed the resignation but declined to provide further details. [Jiemian, in Chinese]
