Public 'Water War' with Nongfu Spring
In 2013, after Nongfu Spring became embroiled in the "standards gate," it entered an open confrontation with China Resources C'estbon: Nongfu Spring tested C'estbon products itself and published comparison results, and the two sides accused each other over water sources, standards, and pH acidity and alkalinity. Media said grievances had existed for a long time. The "water war" lasted until 2014, and both brands' images were affected.
