China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering

The China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Co., Ltd. (CPP) is a subsidiary of the China National Petroleum Corporation and the primary builder of pipelines in China.

The company has built much of the cross-country pipeline infrastructure in China and had several large-scale projects abroad.

[1] In August 2018, the Pakatan Harapan seventh cabinet of Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed canceled a CPP project in Malaysia, accusing it of participating in corruption.

At the time, the project paid for by the Malaysian government, was only 13% incomplete, but the money paid corresponded with a project that was close to 80% complete.

In July 2019, Malaysian authorities seized $243.5M from China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering to compensate for the paid for but unfinished pipelines.
