Chinese oil giants make use of offshore shell companies in Caribbean

[AndrewT]

Even Chinese are using offshore companies to benefit from low taxes and anonymity. That's interesting if we know what their state system is.


"The country's biggest oil companies ”“ Sinopec, PetroChina and the China National Offshore Oil Company (CNOOC) ”“ are among the world's largest businesses, but executives in the industry are embroiled in multiple corruption probes, many tied to networks of shell companies around the world."

Great post. The Chinese are very resourceful, and are become ever-increasingly so with there overseas‌ ventures. They are literally on a global mission to establish financial superiority in every region‍ possible. They are in almost every continent purchasing land, debt, and resources to sustain their⁠ rapid growth. Some of this growth is inflationary, and may hurt them in the end,⁤ just as Japan with their "lost decade".

Many will remember when Japan was a tech⁣ giant, and purchased many companies globally, and was seen as the future tech giant of⁢ the world. These days, it is rare to hear Japan in a conversation about the︀ economy. If China does not buy a clue from this experience they will over invest︁ in the wrong areas (like Japan did), and end up holding the bag with egg︂ on their face. We wil have to stay tuned...

I'm not even surprised by this. I'm sorry if someone gets offended but their country‌ is a pure Communist. They are eager to take advantage of every little possibilities they‍ have. An example is they claim Islands that is not legally for them but because⁠ of good resources from that Island, they claim that this Island originally belongs to China!⁤
