The Reality Of The Sino-Iraqi Agreement
Baghdad/The Obelisk: Hassanein Ali Al Saadi Some Iraqi satellite television channels affiliated with certain parties and some social media publish from time to time that there is an (Iraqi-Chinese agreement) for joint cooperation signed by the former Prime Minister, Mr. objective and rational according to the following points:
First
if there was actually an Iraqi-Chinese agreement between the two countries, it would have been published in the Chinese and Western media before the Iraqi one, because such agreements for joint economic cooperation are not secret. Therefore, we have not seen today any media outlet that published anything about the details of the agreement or its provisions.
Secondly
if there was an Iraqi-Chinese agreement signed by Mr. Adel Abdul-Mahdi in the name of the Republic of Iraq, it would be obligatory for Mr. Al-Kazemi and his government to implement it as it was signed by an Iraqi government and not a personality belonging to the name of the former Iraqi Prime Minister.
Third
if there was an actual real agreement, the Chinese companies would start implementing their projects after the agreement entered into force in order to gain time and take their due from the money or Iraqi crude oil. It does not care about the name of the country or the people of the government.
Fourth
If there was an Iraqi-Chinese agreement signed in 2019 and it was obstructed by President Al-Kazemi after receiving the ruling, as they claim, we would have found Chinese companies filing judicial complaints with all judicial and international authorities, and they would demand compensation and millions of dollars because signing any joint international agreement requires setting penalties, fines and harsh conditions on the party Withdrawing and violating the contract, as in all contracts signed in the world.
The pretexts and justifications mentioned by the claimant of the existence of the Sino-Iraqi agreement in the time of Adel Abdul-Mahdi that the agreement is real and was signed, but America prevents its implementation so that China does not benefit as a political opponent of America.
The answer to such justification, everyone knows that America after World War II imposed itself as the first global pole and after Its victory over the communist camp and the collapse of the Soviet Union became the only pole in the world and it is in control and imposed its control as responsible for the security of the countries of the world. Therefore, no economic agreements are made between countries except by paying a financial percentage of the agreement or the contract under the pretext of its control over the security of the countries of the world.
Therefore, if there was an Iraqi-Chinese agreement concluded It is true that China was able to give a percentage and part of the contract to America and manage the implementation of this agreement. The evidence is that the Chinese company (Petrochai) works as an investment oil company in the Iraqi oil fields (Maysan and Wasit), with America giving a percentage of the contract for providing the security of the Chinese company.
We also do not forget that the American occupation army in Iraq since 2003 has contracted with Chinese companies only to finance its soldiers with all the logistical needs that the American soldier needs from important and necessary requirements, in addition to the Chinese investment companies operating in the same European and American countries in exchange for contracts to provide security for these companies before America.
Knowing that Iraq and Al-Kazemi’s government in 2021 contracted with China to build 1,000 schools in 2022 and 3,000 model schools in 2023, and this agreement (building integrated model schools with an area ofacres in exchange for Iraqi crude oil to be paid in installments) and the Supreme Committee formed by Al-Kazemi to supervise On this file, it is composed of members belonging to the Secretariat of the Council of Ministers, the Ministry of Planning and Finance, the education directorates in all of Iraq, the Baghdad Municipality, the Baghdad governorate, and representatives of the governors in all the governorates, under the supervision of members of the Parliamentary Education Committee.
So, unfortunately, the lie of the alleged Chinese-Iraqi agreement is a media game from which the personalities of the framework parties want to market it in the media to make their government in the era of Adel Abdul Mahdi an angelic service government in exchange for their fight against Al-Kazemi’s government, although both governments (twins in corruption and failure with one difference is the bloody security apparatus of Abdul-Mahdi’s government against The peaceful October demonstrators and the peaceful and professional Al-Kazemi security services against the peaceful demonstrators of the Ashura Revolution).
Therefore, we hope that corrupt politicians will stop marketing lies and media bubbles, as playing with the minds of simple Iraqis is no longer useful to polish your black image.
