...Chinese company clears the air following reports out of Jamaica CHINA Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) Limited has sought to clear the air on reports coming out of Jamaica, which imply that the China Road and Bridge Corporation and China Communications Construction Company have been debarred from bidding for road and bridge projects funded by the World Bank. In a statement issued yesterday, the Company’s Regional Director, Latin America, Zhongdong Tang, stated that, “CHEC is not involved in and has never been involved in any activity that has attracted any sanctions by the World Bank” adding “CHEC itself has never been under any investigation by the World Bank.” Here is a copy of the statement coming out of the CHEC Office: “China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) Limited notes that the Office of the Contractor General in Jamaica has recently commented on the debarment by the World Bank, of China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), the parent company of China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC), from being eligible to bid on road and bridge projects funded by the World Bank for the period 2009-2017.” This is not a new matter.
