Recently, some Hebei netizens posted that a gas station named Zhongyuan Petrochemical looks too much like Sinopec.Netizens said they found out after refueling that they were wondering why the gas price was so cheap. The staff said they were not Sinopec, but Zhongyuan Petrochemical.

The picture shows that "Zhongyuan Petrochemical" in the gas station is in white letters on a red background, and the letters are "SNOPEC". There is only one letter difference with Sinopec, which is also in white letters on a red background, and the English letters are only missing an I.

The gas station employee said that he has been operating a gas station for more than 10 years and has always used this name. The relevant departments have also come to ask about the name before. He has a business license and the names have been approved.

Staff from the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau said that it is difficult to determine based on the site name alone. Whether the infringement is infringement must be comprehensively determined based on the decoration situation. They will send people to conduct an on-site investigation and then respond.

In addition, a search on the map found that there are also some gas stations named "Zhongyuan Petrochemical" in Anhui, Hunan and other places in China.

Prior to this, Sinopec, China National Petroleum Corporation, and CNOOC issued anti-counterfeiting announcements one after another, stating that they had encountered "Li Gui" and reminded all sectors of society to be more vigilant and pay attention to prevent risks.
