So is the reconstruction by China being paid for with oil?  I hope not. That could possibly mean that any RV or RI is a little ways away AND means that any comment about our invasion of Iraq for it's oil was total crap.   We have yet to see any benefits  for our efforts for participating in the war . Sees like everyone else may see benefits from a rebuilt Iraq but the US. 

 

That being said, maybe they are waiting to make the deal with China then a RV or RI happens.  I mean we did read about coins and  smaller note articles not too long ago.  The Kurds want their share of oil proceeds which right now isn't much compared to what they could be.  Iraq is like quicksand.  It's a bottomless pit of confusion delaying and infighting that suffocates anyone who gets involved with it.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region —  Iraq’s Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi concluded his five-day trip to China with the signing of eight broad-ranging agreements on Monday in a bid to diversify ties between the two countries.

Abdul-Mahdi was heading a delegation consisting of, among others, Iraqi ministers and provincial governors.

On the fifth day of the visit, the Iraqi PM met with the Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Premiere of the State Council Li Keqiang.  In the meeting, the two sides signed agreements in a variety of fields, including finance, trade, security, construction, communications, culture, education, and foreign affairs, according to a readout from the Iraqi PM’s office.

Signed financial agreements included one between Iraq’s Ministry of Finance and Sinosure - the China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation – another on economic and technical cooperation, and an agreement between the Iraqi Ministry of Finance and the Chinese Trade Ministry concerning “cooperation for reconstruction following the [ISIS] war in Iraq].”

The Iraqi delegation’s visit to China aimed to form a “framework relations for strategic partnership for Iraq to rise and rebuild its infrastructure, economy and society.”

As part of the visit, the PM toured the car manufacturing company JAC, a solar panel manufacturing company, the Shanghai Electric Company, and other sites.

“We belong to Asia, and we want to be part of its rise,” Iraq’s Prime Minister said in Shanghai on Saturday.

Trade volume between Iraq and China surpassed $30 billion in 2017. Iraq-China trade relations currently rely on the export of Iraqi oil and Chinese manufactured goods.
  
However, in a bid to diversify their economic ties, one of the agreements signed involve the building of a joint Iraqi-Chinese manufacturing city in Iraq to produce goods meeting “world standards,” according to Iraqi Minister of Industry and Minerals Saleh Abdullah al-Jabouri. The agreement is the sixth of its kind.

Jabouri added that his industry ministry presented 200 “projects and investment opportunities” to Chinese companies during the Iraq-Chinese Economic Cooperation Forum. 

According to a Ministry of Finance and Economy readout, Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity signed an agreement with the Chinese Heavy Equipment Engineering Company, who are already involved in construction projects in Iraq, most notably that of the Saladin Electric Station.

In a development of cultural ties between the two countries, a Chinese library is set to be established in Iraq’s Baghdad University, and a cultural cooperation memorandum of understanding was also signed.
