Baghdad - Writings

The Chinese government has demanded from its Iraqi counterpart special protection and documented guarantees to secure China's expected investment in Iraq.

A Bahraini newspaper revealed on Thursday, September 26, 2019, citing a source accompanying Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi and his government officials during his last week-long visit to China, saying that Chinese officials have required Abdul Mahdi to provide full protection to Chinese companies that have signed large contracts. To implement projects in various sectors in Iraq.

Chinese officials have told Abdul Mahdi that there are expected financial blackmail from Iraqi political forces that demand a percentage of profits from foreign companies operating in Iraq, often up to half of the profits, exploiting the armed factions that are under their responsibility to threaten these companies.

The Chinese have openly complained to the Iraqi prime minister by asserting that such blackmail is practiced outside the control of the government and without any deterrence to stop such practices.

For example, a Chinese company signed a contract to produce nutrients to supply Iraqi hospitals for 40 cents per bottle, but those described by the window in Iraq prevented the company from working to keep Iraq going. Importing feeder from a neighboring country for a dollar per bottle at a large price difference goes as commissions to armed factions and political forces in force in Iraq.

Abdul Mahdi, for his part, according to the source pledged to work to overcome all obstacles to Chinese investment and companies operating in Iraq.
