CPC Corporation
CPC Corporation, Taiwan (台灣中油) is the state-owned petroleum, natural gas and gasoline company in the Republic of China on Taiwan. It is the core of Taiwan's petrochemicals industry. It was formerly known as Chinese Petroleum Corporation (CPC; 中國石油), but the board approved the name change on February 9, 2007 with immediate effect. [1]
The opposition Chinese Nationalist Party has charged that the name change is because no legislation or ammendment was passed in the legislature, which in the Republic of China system prohibits the company from operating.[2] The CPC is prepared to change its name back if necessary, according to the government.
