在美國總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普(Donald Trump)指責中國干預巴拿馬運河周邊關(guān)鍵航道運營后,這家總部位于中國香港、在巴拿馬運河周邊運營港口的大型企業(yè)集團已同意將其港口運營子公司的股份出售給一個由貝萊德(BlackRock)等投資機構(gòu)組成的財團。
長江和記實業(yè)有限公司(CK Hutchison Holding)周二在一份文件中表示,將出售其持有的和記黃埔港口集團以及和記港口集團(Hutchison Port Group Holdings)的全部股份。這兩家公司合計持有在23個國家運營43個港口的和記港口集團80%的股份。
文件顯示,由貝萊德、Global Infrastructure Partners和Terminal Investment Limited組成的財團將收購Panama Ports Company 90%的股權(quán),后者擁有并運營巴拿馬的巴爾博亞港和克里斯托瓦爾港。
美國國務卿馬爾科·魯比奧(Marco Rubio)2月初訪問了巴拿馬,并向巴拿馬總統(tǒng)何塞·勞爾·穆利諾(José Raúl Mulino)傳達了相關(guān)信息,強調(diào)巴拿馬必須削弱中國對運河的影響力,否則可能會遭遇美國的反制措施。穆利諾駁斥了中國對運河運營有任何控制權(quán)的說法。
在魯比奧訪問之后,巴拿馬決定退出中國的“一帶一路”倡議,此舉招致中國政府的譴責。
盡管外界的注意力多聚焦于特朗普重奪運河控制權(quán)的威脅上,但特朗普政府實則將焦點對準了和記港口集團——這家總部位于香港、掌控著運河兩端重要港口的企業(yè)集團。
和記港口集團最近獲得了為期25年的無競標延期經(jīng)營權(quán),但針對這一延期的審計已在進行中。觀察人士認為,此次審計或為最終重新招標合同做初步準備,但最近幾周有傳言稱,一家與白宮關(guān)系密切的美國公司正在準備接手。 (財富中文網(wǎng))

The Hong Kong-based conglomerate that operates ports near the Panama Canal has agreed to sell shares of its units that operate the ports to a consortium including BlackRock Inc., after President Donald Trump alleged Chinese interference with the operations of the critical shipping lane.
In a filing, CK Hutchison Holding said Tuesday that it would sell all shares in Hutchison Port Holdings and all shares in Hutchison Port Group Holdings. The two units hold 80% of the Hutchison Ports group that operates 43 ports in 23 countries.
The consortium, comprised of BlackRock, Global Infrastructure Partners and Terminal Investment Limited will acquire 90% interests in Panama Ports Company, which owns and operates the ports of Balboa and Cristobal in Panama, according to the filing.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Panama in early February and told President José Raúl Mulino that Panama had to reduce Chinese influence over the canal or face potential retaliation from the United States. Mulino rejected the idea that China had any control over canal operations.
Panama quit China’s Belt and Road Initiative following Rubio’s visit, drawing condemnation from Beijing.
But while much attention was focused on Trump’s threat to retake control of the canal, his administration trained its sights on Hutchison Ports, the Hong Kong-based consortium that manages the ports key ports at either end of the canal.
Hutchison Ports had recently been awarded a 25-year no-bid extension to run the ports, but an audit looking at that extension was already underway. Observers believed the audit was a preliminary step toward eventually rebidding the contract, but rumors had swirled in recent weeks that a U.S. firm close to the White House was being lined up to take over.
