==Facing opposition from PRC==
There was a long dispute in the building of CT9 between [[People's Republic of China|PRC]] and the [[United Kingdom]] in starting from November, 1992. [[Hong Kong Government]] purposely diversified the number of providers of port services awarding project through a directed tender and [[Sea-Land Corporation|Sea-Land]] [[consortium]] got the project. However, [[People's Republic of China|PRC]] insisted the tender must be open and competitive bid. The PRC accused of the British Government the results was in favour of British interest. The British company [[Jardine Matheson]], a company with its listing and incorporation withdrawn from Hong Kong in 1980s, participated in the consortium. The project keep delay until the [[Joint Liaison Group]] meeting of the UK and PRC in September, 1996. Jardine Matheson was willing to be withdrawn from the project in acquiring two existing berths.
