CK Hutchison Reports Profit Surge Amid Port Sale Controversy
长和出售港口资产引争议,利润仍大涨
CK Hutchison posted a 24% rise in port earnings to HK$13.1bn (US$1.7bn) despite Beijing criticism over its $22.8bn deal with BlackRock.
香港长和集团在面临北京批评之际,宣布其港口业务去年息税前利润大增24%,达131亿港元(约1.7亿美元)。
The conglomerate is selling 43 out of 53 ports, including two at the Panama Canal, to a BlackRock-led consortium, retaining control of its Chinese ports.
该集团将把旗下53个港口中的43个(包括巴拿马运河的两个港口)出售给由BlackRock牵头的财团,但保留中国港口的控制权。
The sale follows former US President Donald Trump’s claims of Chinese influence over the canal, though CK Hutchison denied the allegations influenced its decision.
此次出售发生在美国前总统特朗普指责中国对巴拿马运河施加影响后。长和否认特朗普的指控影响了其出售决策。
