It's called "The Anthem" from the album Chinoiseries. The Coke version is a remix of the album version.

After a little more reading, I see that the Coke version is not a remix but a remake. Onra sampled some other music for his "original" song but didn't get the rights to do so (I guess he figured he was such small potatoes that nobody in China would ever find out). So when Coke wanted to use the song, they had to make a new version that didn't sample anyone else's stuff. That's why it sounds different than the original version.
