The "Bamboo network" or the "Chinese Commonwealth" is a term used to conceptualize connections between businesses operated by the Overseas Chinese community in Southeast Asia.  It links the Overseas Chinese business community of Southeast Asia, namely Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Singapore with the economies of Greater China (Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan).  Ethnic Chinese play an important economic role in Southeast Asia, since they dominate commerce and the business sector and form the economic elite across all the major Southeast Asian countries.  Overseas Chinese have dominated much of the economy in Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Cambodia and Indonesia since the 19th century and today exert a powerful economic influence throughout the region.  Since the turn of the 21st century, postcolonial Southeast Asia has now become an important pillar of the international Overseas Chinese economy as the bamboo network represents an important symbol manifesting itself as an extended international economic outpost of Mainland China.  Overseas Chinese wield tremendous economic clout over their indigenous Southeast Asian majority counterparts and play a critical role in maintaining the regions aggregate economic vitality and prosperity.

Brau und Brunnen AG ("Brew and Spring") was a German brewing and beverage group which was formed as "Dortmunder Union-Schultheiss Brauerei AG" in 1972 through a merger between Schultheiss-Brauerei and Dortmunder Union-Brauerei.  It was renamed "Brau und Brunnen" in 1988.  It owned a number of formerly independent breweries, including Einbecker Brewery.  Until the early 1990s, Brau und Brunnen was the largest beverage company in Germany, but its market share steadily declined throughout the 1990s.  An additional cause for the decline was the company's purchase of Bavaria – St. Pauli Brewery and Jever for an estimated 800 million DM, although these purchases were later estimated to only be worth closer to 250 million DM.

After unsuccessful internal reorganizations, the company was purchased by Dr. August Oetker KG and integrated into its subsidiary Radeberger Gruppe.
