HONG KONG: The criticisms of the conglomerate of Hong Kong Ck Hutchison the sale of his ports of the Panama channel deserves “severe consideration”, the chief of the town John Lee (March 18) mentioned Tuesday after the Beijing authorities have repeatedly crushed the settlement.
The business empire of the richest man in Hong Kong, Li Ka -Sing, offered most of his port operations – together with these within the channel – to a consortium led by the United States this month following the stress of the President of the United States Donald Trump.
Last week two Chinese authorities departments that handle the articles of Hong Kong republished newspaper articles that made the transaction skip and questioned if CK Hutchison crashed with the United States on China.
“There have been giant discussions within the firm on the difficulty and this displays the corporate’s concern on the difficulty,” Lee, CEO of the Chinese metropolis largely autonomously instructed journalists.
“These issues deserve severe consideration.”
For months, Trump complained that China controls the expedition to the Panama channel, which was constructed by the United States greater than a century in the past to attach the oceans of the Pacific and Atlantic.
The President of the United States repeatedly threatened to “resume” the channel, which was delivered to Panama in 1999.
Before the sale, the CK Hutchison department in Panama had managed two of the 5 ports on the channel – one on the aspect of Cristobal and the opposite on the aspect of Balboa – via a authorities concession since 1997.
CK Hutchison, one of many best conglomerates of Hong Kong, beforehand mentioned that the settlement was not associated to latest political information.
