彭博:中國高層指示國企暫停與李嘉誠家族開展任何新合作
The plan by CK Hutchison (00001) to sell two ports in Panama to a consortium led by BlackRock was reportedly still due to be signed as scheduled on April 2, according to a report yesterday. As the “deadline” approaches, the matter continues to develop. The South China Morning Post reported today that the government had communicated with representatives of CK Hutchison to seek a “reasonable way forward”. Bloomberg reported today that Chinese authorities had instructed state-owned enterprises to suspend any new transactions involving Li Ka-shing and his family.
Bloomberg also reported that the administrative instruction was issued to state-owned enterprises by senior officials last week, while existing cooperation would not be affected.
The South China Morning Post, citing Hong Kong government sources, reported that the government had contacted CK Hutchison representatives immediately after the company announced the port sale on March 4. It said the two sides had continued communicating and seeking a “reasonable way forward” over the matter. The report also quoted other sources as saying that the options available to both sides were very limited because cancelling the transaction would incur substantial compensation, while continued government pressure would have serious political implications for CK Hutchison and the country.
長和(00001)出售兩個巴拿馬港口予貝萊德牽頭財團的計劃,昨日據報將如期4月2日簽約。隨著「死線」漸近,事件繼續發酵,《南早》今日報道指政府已與長和代表溝通,尋找「合理出路」。《彭博》今日報道指,中國官方已指示國企暫停與李嘉誠及其家人有關的生意有任何新交易。
《彭博》的報道還指,該行政指示是由高級官員於上周向國企發出,而現有的合作將不受影響。
南早引港府消息 稱已接觸並溝通
《南華早報》則引述政府消息指,早於3月4日長和公布出售港口後,政府已即時接觸長和代表,又指雙方一直溝通並為事件尋找「合理出路」。報道同時引述其他消息人士稱,雙方選項很有限,因為取消交易會帶來巨額賠償,若政府繼續施壓,會對長和和國家帶來嚴重政治影響。

公司註冊處洩私隱|涉事國企有前科 近五年奪 41 億元政府合約
Following a series of personal privacy breaches in the Government, the Companies Registry announced on the 3rd that the personal data of 110,000 people had been leaked from its electronic search system. The contractor involved was the state-owned enterprise Aerospace Information Co., Ltd. (Aerospace). The Companies Registry told The Collective that, after reviewing the contract terms, it would consider taking follow-up action. SmartPlay, the leisure and culture system developed by Aerospace under a contract worth more than HK$500 million, was also found at the end of last year to have a data-leak vulnerability.
Records show that Aerospace won at least 13 Hong Kong Government tenders over the past five years, worth a total of HK$4.18 billion. These included three Immigration Department contracts, one of which covered the development of online visa, marriage, birth and death registration services. During consideration of the project, Legislative Council members had expressed concern about the risk of data leakage. In February this year, the company also won a contract worth more than HK$3 billion from the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau for the Trade Single Window project. With Aerospace Information repeatedly encountering privacy-leak issues, will the relevant departments review the associated risks and contracts? The Immigration Department said there had been no reports of data leaks in the project previously, and that it had comprehensively reviewed the relevant systems without finding any risk of data leakage. The Commerce and Economic Development Bureau said the contractor did not currently have access to personal data and that it had asked the company to submit an optimisation proposal to prevent data leakage.
政府接連發生個人私隱外洩事故,公司註冊處日前(3日)公布,電子查冊系統 11 萬個人資料外洩,涉事承辦商為國企「航天信息股份有限公司」(下稱航天)。公司註冊處回覆《集誌社》,稱檢視合約條款後會考慮採取跟進。而由航天開發、合約總值逾五億的康體通 SmartPlay 系統,去年底同被揭有外洩資料漏洞。
翻查資料,航天近五年共投得至少 13 份港府標書,總值 41.8 億港元;包括三份入境處合約,其中一份為開發網上簽證和婚姻及生死登記服務項目等,項目審議時曾有立法會議員擔憂有資料洩漏風險。公司今年 2 月另以逾 30 億元投得商經局「貿易單一窗口」項目合約。航天信息接連出現洩私隱問題,有關部門會否檢視相關風險和合約?入境處回覆指,項目過去無資料外洩呈報,已全面檢視相關系統,無發現資料外洩風險;商經局則指承辦商現階段未接觸個人資料,已要求對方提優化方案免資料外洩。
