Sefko Trafikant + 35 ST September 6, 2018 Exxon Mobil says it signed a preliminary deal to build a multibillion-dollar petrochemical complex and invest in a liquefied natural gas terminal in China, despite trade tensions between the U.S. and China. XOM's agreement with the Guangdong provincial government includes a 1.2M metric tons/year ethylene plant, two polyethylene production lines and two polypropylene lines in the coastal city of Huizhou; the complex, which is expected to start in 2023, remains subject to a final investment decision.

Shame on XOM for diminishing President Trump's efforts to achieve fair trade with China. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
