coast of Angola and in Saudi Arabia. The acquisition of the Swiss-based exploration company
Addax Petroleum in 2009 was the largest acquisition by a Chinese company of a foreign
company. In 2010, Sinopec acquired an 18% stake in a deepwater gas project implemented
jointly with Indonesia’s Chevron.

Sinopec has acquired the right to explore fields in the oil-rich
sands of Colombia and Canada, and has shares in oil companies in countries such as Brazil,
Switzerland, Russia and Kazakhstan. Sinopec also has large processing facilities in Iran.
At the same time, it should be noted that there are challenges that the company faces in its
development process. In general, one of the biggest problems for the Chinese economy and
society is corruption. Despite government measures to combat bribery, in 2009 one of the
company’s senior managers was arrested and sentenced to death for accepting more than $ 28
million in bribes. The resignation of Su Shulinya, the company’s chief executive, in 2011 was
sparked by a scandal over his overspending on government spending at the company’s internal
Guangdong office.

Like many other players in the global oil market, Sinopec has often been criticized by
environmental organizations, which has led the company to develop a strategy for “green”
development and reduction of carbohydrate emissions.

CONCLUSION
Finally, because many of the regions in which the company operates are characterized by their
political instability, these circumstances pose a threat to both its sustainable operation and the
lives of the company’s employees. For example, in 2007, a group of Samoan militants attacked a
drilling rig in Sinopec in the Ogaden Desert in eastern Ethiopia, killing nine Chinese workers,
kidnapping seven and later releasing them.

Thus, China's Sinopec, by its very nature, is a leading company with high potential for Chinese
energy in foreign economic expansion, is a guarantee of China's economic security and at the
same time helps solve important geopolitical challenges called "light" power by China.Sinopec
has steadily strengthened its international position, becoming the fifth largest multinational
corporation in the world in the Fortune Global 500 ranking in 2012, 24th in the UNKTAD
ranking in 2014, and 2nd in the TOP-10 of the Fortune Global 500 ranking in 2015 (446.8 billion
in revenue). ), Ranked 2nd among the top 100 companies in China from 2011 to 2019.
