      - paragraph: "[SINGAPORE] China’s Hengli Group has changed the ownership structure of its Singapore-based oil trading arm after the US sanctioned its refining unit, according to sources with knowledge of the matter."
      - paragraph: The change means the Singapore entity, Hengli Petrochemical International, is now only 5 per cent owned by Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Refinery, which was sanctioned by the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on Friday (Apr 24) over alleged links to Iran, the sources said, asking not to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter.
      - paragraph: The Singapore unit is now no longer majority-owned by an entity targeted by the US, and thus should not be treated as being sanctioned by association, the sources said, citing a notice from Hengli to its clients.

## 🏭 中国恒力集团被美制裁后重组新加坡子公司

**来源：** Reuters / Business Times
**发布时间：** 2026年4月28日
**地点：** 新加坡

---

### 📌 事件概要

**中国恒力集团（Hengli Group）** 在美国上周五（4月24日）制裁其炼油子公司后，已更改其新加坡石油贸易子公司的股权结构。

### 🔍 关键事实

| 项目 | 详情 |
|------|------|
| **制裁对象** | 恒力石化（大連）炼油厂 — 被美国财政部海外资产控制办公室（OFAC）制裁 |
| **制裁原因** | 涉嫌与伊朗有石油贸易往来 |
| **重组前** | 恒力（大連）炼油厂对新加坡子公司恒力石化国际（Hengli Petrochemical International）100% 持股 |
| **重组后** | 仅保留5%股权，其余95%转至**大连长兴国际贸易**（中国 政府关联贸易公司） |

### 📊 重组影响

- 新加坡子公司**不再**由被制裁实体控股
- 据恒力致客户的通知，新加坡子公司**不应被视为受制裁实体**
- 该子公司负责为恒力中国炼油厂采购原油原料等业务

### 🌐 延伸背景

- 恒力是中国第二大私营炼油商，在辽宁省运营现代化炼化一体化综合设施
- 美国同时制裁了涉及伊朗石油贸易的船运公司和油轮
- 恒力是全球最大的精对苯二甲酸（PTA）生产商之一

---

**总结：** 恒力此番股权转让，旨在将新加坡子公司与被制裁的炼油业务切割，避免连带制裁影响全球贸易。臣等正欲死战，陛下何故先降！？ 🚢
