Iraq and the Silk Road Economic Belt

 
 Baghdad: the pillar of the emirate
 

In 2013, China announced a cooperation initiative between it and the countries of Central Asia under the name of the Silk Road Economic Belt, which would form close economic ties and strengthen cooperation in the Eurasian region.
The specialist in economic affairs, Dr. Abdul Karim al-Issawi, said that Iraq’s position in the Belt and Silk Road initiative is distinguished. From recent history, the initiative included the old East Express train line from Baghdad to Berlin via Istanbul in the days of the Ottoman Empire, and at that time Germany wanted to reach the Gulf. But the competition ended after the defeat of Germany in the First World War and the line was turned to Britain, and in the new millennium the large port of Faw will represent the new Chinese East Line connecting Eurasia as a free trade zone.

 
Economic relations
Al-Issawi stated that the economic relations between Iraq and China are not a product of the past few years, but rather go back to the year 1958, when diplomatic representation was established between the two parties, and the process of concluding formal agreements in the field of economic, scientific and technical cooperation was delayed. 2003, as the first agreement between Iraq and China, which is an agreement for economic, scientific and technical cooperation, which was held in Beijing in 1981 and is no longer valid, then the agreement on economic and technical cooperation was also held in Beijing in 1997 and it is in effect 
Effect ".
 
Belt initiative
Al-Issawi pointed out that, "In the year 2015, the regional structure of the Belt and Road Initiative was presented at a conference held in (Chu Nafcheng), China, as the Chinese Deputy Prime Minister presented the concept of economic corridors as the guarantee for this initiative, and six corridors were announced: the Chinese, Russia, Mongolia and the Eurasian region. New, the sea bridge, central and western Asia, China, the Chinese Indian peninsula, China and Pakistan 
And China.
He stressed, "Pakistan has handed over the port of Gwadar to China, as it is close to the port of Hormuz and the port of Aden to the Red Sea, Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, and these corridors have defined the Belt and Road Initiative to reach the Indian Ocean and the region."

What did Trump say, just curious asking for a friend.

Indicators of the rise of the Chinese economy

 
 Baghdad: the pillar of the emirate
 


China is the largest creditor of the United States of America by purchasing US treasury bills of about (one trillion dollars) to finance the current account of the United States. China also achieves a continuous trade surplus with America.

Economist Abdul Karim Al-Issawi said that according to US trade data, the total US exports of goods and services to China reached 0, 178 billion dollars, or about 7.1 percent of the total US exports in 2018, compared to imports from China that amounted to 8,558 billion dollars, or 9 17 percent of the total imports of the United States of America, and as a result, the total bilateral deficit reached 8, 380 billion dollars, an increase of 6, 43 billion dollars, or about 9, 12 percent of the year 2017. Al-Issawi said that one of the indicators of the Chinese economy is the number of people, which is about one and a half billion, out of the total world population of 75.7 billion for the year 2020, and by 19.3 of the world population.
And among "the size of the Chinese gross domestic product comes second after the United States of America with a growth rate of 8, 6 percent, and China tops the volume of global exports for the year 2019, with a volume of $ 252,2 billion and 9, 12 percent of global exports of 776, $ 17 and then The European Union (28) comes with 173, 2 billion dollars, and the third America with 1 610 billion dollars.
"China is ranked second after Russia, and second in scientific research after the United States," Al-Issawi added.
 He added, "China is a global economic power, whose international trade relations and growing needs for various energy are branching after the United States
 American ”.
He explained, "To this importance, the idea of a railway line extending from eastern China to Europe and Asia through Central Asia, Iran and Turkey, based on the elements of geographical openness, as close link between trade and development has been established through the establishment of regional integration projects to liberalize trade," he said.
Al-Issawi said, “China has huge financial capabilities, such as the State Silk Road Fund Corporation in 2014 with a capital of $ 40 billion, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which came into effect in 2015, in addition to Chinese government banks, which have already started providing loans and credit to finance the initiative projects. “.

The contradiction of two maps threatening the Iraqi dream of the "Silk Road" .. A statement looking forward to Baghdad after the launch of the first trip that excluded Iraq from its path

Dec 5, 2020

Iraq is looking to be a major stop on the Silk Road, which plans to connect the countries of Asia with Europe for trade exchange, while Iraqi interested people were surprised by the first trip that set out from Turkey to China yesterday, which "excludes" Iraq from its path.

 

The Iraqi Minister of Transport, Nasser Al-Shibli, said today, Saturday, that Iraq will be the main stop in the project of the international road and sea (Silk Road) linking the two continents of Asia and Europe.

 

He stressed in a press statement, that "this is linked to the completion of the construction of the Grand Port of Faw and the signing of the contract during the coming days after the agreement with the implementing company, and in the event that it is completed, Iraq will be the center (Silk Road) on which China is working to link Europe with Asia.

 

Al-Shibli added, "The project will be completed, the implementation of the dry canal to connect the port of Fao with Turkey, and thus complete a link line from China to Pakistan and the port of Fao by sea, and to Europe by rail."

 

Al-Shibli pointed out that "the implementation of the Silk Road through Iraq will provide thousands of jobs and a great economic return for the country, equivalent to oil financial revenues, and is linked to the completion of the large port of Faw."

 

In 2013, China announced its initiative to establish the New Silk Road, which is a network of ports and railways that will connect nearly 65 countries around the world.

The launch of the first trip near Iraq

 

The first freight train carrying goods exported from Turkey set off for China on Friday, crossing on its way two continents, Bahrain and 5 countries.

 

The General Directorate of Turkish Railways said, in a statement, that 10 trains have been successfully operated on the China-Turkey-Europe line so far, in addition to the first transit train that left China and arrived in Europe in November 2019.

 

According to the statement, the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Adil Kara Ismailoglu, is expected to bid farewell to the first freight train from Turkey to China from the Kazli Cesme railway station on the European side of Istanbul.

The train is scheduled to pass through the "Marmara" tunnel that connects the Asian and European sides of Istanbul under the Bosphorus at 2 pm Turkish local time (11:00 GMT).

 

It will pass inside Turkey through Istanbul, the Kocaeli state (west), the capital, Ankara, and the states of Sivas (center), and Kars (east), and will stop at Akhalkalaki station in Georgia.

 

After that, it will travel via Azerbaijan, the Caspian Sea Transit Route “TITR” and Kazakhstan before entering the Chinese province of Xi'an.

 

The train, which carries 42 containers of white goods, will travel a total of 8,693 km, passing through two continents, Bahrain and five countries, and its cargo will be delivered to China within 12 days.

 

Iraqi interested people are wondering if this is the real Silk Road, of which Iraq will not be part.

What is the significance of the largest trade agreement in the world?

 
 Translation: Khaled Qasim
 
 
The process was painful as far as the name of the agreement carries an ancient meaning, but 15 Asian countries signed the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership" with a virtual ceremony in Hanoi. The Partnership is the largest multilateral trade agreement, and it would have been bigger without India pulling out of it a year ago. After 8 years of what Malaysian Trade Minister Muhammad Azmin Ali described as "negotiating with blood, sweat and tears," the remaining countries have achieved a victory for regional cooperation during the time of the Corona virus, which devastated the global economy. However, opinions differ widely regarding the importance of achievement, with some seeing the partnership as not ambitious and largely symbolic, while others see it as an important pillar of a new world order in which China controls Asia.
The truth lies between the two issues, as the partnership does not announce a radical liberalization of Asian trade, and it is a kind of arrangement process as all of the free trade agreements between the ASEAN countries and several other countries in the Asia Pacific region are merged together by comprehensive agreement: Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea.
India’s withdrawal came due to fears that its domestic industry would be dumped by Chinese products, and this removed the main obstacle to the agreement, but since India will be the third largest economy in partnership and a forum for few bilateral trade agreements, its withdrawal deprived the agreement of some of its main benefits for the open market. The door remains open for India to join, but its relations with China have deteriorated on several fronts since last year.
The membership of the partnership overlaps with another major regional trade agreement, "the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for the Trans-Pacific Partnership," which was signed in 2018 by 11 countries and aims to include America, but Donald Trump withdrew from it. When the two agreements were under negotiation, US officials arrogantly rejected the new partnership because it is inferior and outdated, focused on customs duties and rudimentary measures to facilitate trade, and contradicts the 2018 agreement that covers areas such as environmental standards, labor and laws for state companies. It is true that the new partnership is less ambitious as long as its signatories range from very rich countries such as Japan and Singapore to very poor countries such as Laos and Myanmar. The partnership waives 90 percent of the fees, but only for a period of 20 years after its entry into force (this requires approval by all signatory states). Its coverage of services is incomplete and touches on the difficulty of agriculture. Japan, for example, will maintain large import duties on some agricultural products.

 Carbis Bay: AFP
On Sunday, the leaders of the Great Powers of the Group of Seven addressed the climate emergency on the third and final day of their summit in England, after showing their unity in facing the challenges posed by China and Russia and their determination to return the world to its normal course after the Covid-19 crisis.
 
Environmental part
The Group of Seven also touched on the environmental aspect of a large-scale global infrastructure plan that was launched on Saturday for poor countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, to encourage green growth by stimulating investments in renewable energies and clean technology, according to the British Prime Minister.
A Saturday night of intense business sessions and low-key get-togethers ended with a relaxing group time of sweets and hot drinks on the sand at Carbis Bay Resort in Cornwall.
 
Chinese warning
For its part, China warned, on Sunday, the leaders of the Group of Seven “G7”, that “the days when “small” groups of countries decided the fate of the world are long gone.
In this context, a spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in London explained, "Gone are the days when a small group of countries dictated global decisions."
He continued, "We have always believed that countries, big or small, strong or weak, poor or rich, are equal, and that global affairs should be handled through consultation among all countries."
This came during the period of the G7 leaders' meetings in southwest England, which are looking for a unified response to the growing assertiveness of Chinese President Xi Jinping, after the astonishing economic and military rise of China over the past forty years, as the group's leaders want the United States and Canada. And Britain, Germany, Italy, France and Japan, using their gathering in the English resort of "Carbis Bay", to show the world that "the richest democracies can offer an alternative to China's growing influence," according to the "Reuters" agency.
 
global plan
The leaders of the seven major countries allocated the second day of their summit to confront China and develop a global plan on infrastructure directed to poor countries, after pledging to harness major means to combat epidemics in the future.
For his part, US President Joe Biden was keen to mobilize his allies to confront the challenges posed by China and Russia during this meeting, which included the heads of state and government of Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Canada and Japan, and was held in Carbis Bay, southwest England, until Sunday.
 
America and the international stage
During the first meeting between the French and American presidents on the sidelines of the summit, Biden answered reporters' questions: "Has the United States returned to the international stage?" "Ask him," he says, wearing sunglasses, before Emmanuel Macron says, "Sure."
The leaders of the seven countries, joined by their counterparts from South Korea, South Africa, Australia and India, showed online their understanding despite the exchange of accusations between Europeans and Britain over Brexit.
In this regard, the Group of Seven endorsed a large-scale global plan of infrastructure for poor and emerging countries put forward by Joe Biden to compete with China's "New Silk Roads" plan, whether in Latin America, Africa or Asia.
The “Rebuilding the World Better” plan seeks to help these countries rise after the (Covid-19) epidemic by focusing on climate, health, the digital sector and combating social disparity.
 
pragmatic
“We know that there is a dire need for infrastructure in Africa, and we cannot just say that China will take care of it,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters.
"We have now presented this road map," she added. It's a precedent for the G7, it's a very pragmatic way of jointly thinking about who can provide what and where."
The US administration believes that it is possible to allocate hundreds of billions of dollars to the plan, especially thanks to the private sector.
The White House also confirmed the G7's commitment to end subsidies for carbon-based power plants by the end of 2021, as environmental ministers pledged in May.
Washington noted that the G7 leaders decided for the first time to bridge the gap between their short- and long-term climate goals in order to honor the Paris Agreement on global warming.
On the diplomatic front, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen welcomed in a tweet the return of "solidarity" and "cooperation" to the G7.
She added that an alliance is necessary in order to confront Russia and the security challenges it poses to Europe, expressing the great powers' concern about Belarus, where opponents of President Alexander Lukashenko are being brutally suppressed.
 
Efforts against a new pandemic
Earlier Saturday, leaders presented a plan to combat future epidemics, a proposal that London welcomed as a "historic moment".
The document stipulates a series of pledges to prevent the outbreak of a new pandemic, including reducing the deadline for developing vaccines, treatments and diagnostics, in the hope that the world will be ready in less than a hundred days to confront an emergency disease.
As for the second part of the text, it deals with strengthening health supervision and implementing a reform of the World Health Organization in order to strengthen it, a goal that is difficult to achieve without the participation of China, which considers the Group of Seven a “clique” formed by Washington.
This first summit, held in attendance nearly two years ago, provided an opportunity to achieve progress between the various countries on the contentious bilateral issues, at the forefront of which is the tension resulting from the post-Brexit arrangements related to Northern Ireland.
Boris Johnson, who participated in his first summit since his country left the European Union on January 1, held successive bilateral meetings since the morning with Macron, Merkel and European Commission President Ursula vu der Leyen, all of whom demanded that he respect his commitments.

China knows all too well that they could walk all over biden and the Group of 7.....They are all Corrupt and have been bought and in China's Portfolio for years. The G7 and the members of the G20 have been bought and paid for for years....Trump Flipped everything up and Could Not be Bought.....Hence Trump had to go no matter what it took and they All Knew It.

 

I have a feeling deep down that should Trump not come back We Are All in Deep Doo Doo....Not only America but they rest of the World as well.

 

Once Fraud is let go when it is In Your Face  there will be no stop to those that want and demand Control.

 

Even those on the Left that tow the line and carry the water will soon be afraid that there is nothing left for them.

{Miscellaneous: Al Furat News} Today, Tuesday, China revealed what it described as the "fastest magnetic train in the world" dedicated to transporting passengers, with a speed of about 600 km / h.
 

China named the new train "Maglev", and it uses magnetic levitation technology to avoid friction with the railways.
It is noteworthy that the distance between the capital, Baghdad, and the province of Basra, southern Iraq, through the driving route is 538 km, and it takes 5-7 hours to travel by car.
The passenger seats inside the train looked like business class seats due to the great luxury adopted in their manufacture.
The new train was unveiled in the coastal city of Qingdao, eastern China, where it took off on its first trip, and will be widely available within 5 to 10 years.
 Through such trains, Beijing seeks to consolidate its leading position in building high-speed trains and railways in the world.
According to China Railways, the new train is the fastest in the world, which represents a great scientific achievement for the country in the field of railway transportation. The new China News Agency, "Xinhua", considered the new train to be the fastest vehicle on Earth.

Demanded that the Chamber of Commerce of China,  on Sunday, the institutions of the European Union to "ensure that their policies for legal certainty to the business community , openness and fairness in the market."

"They should avoid the discriminatory impact on foreign companies, or it will lead to new distortions by offering concessions to locally owned EU companies, for example," said Xu Haifeng, president of the EU Chamber, in a statement, according to Xinhua. in acquisition or purchase transactions.

He stressed that the members of the Chamber "will appreciate that the European market remains open, competitive and fair."

The Chamber issued the statement after, last Tuesday, it presented its observations on the European Commission's proposal for a regulation on external aid, which was unveiled in May this year.

And in September 2020, the EU China Chamber of Commerce already participated in a public consultation on the EU White Paper on distorting foreign subsidies.

The chamber, which spoke on behalf of about 1,000 Chinese companies operating in the European Union, said in the statement that some issues remained unresolved.

In its remarks to the Federation, last Tuesday, the Chamber warned of the "increasing obstacles and barriers" that the draft regulation would impose on foreign companies.

The draft regulation, which aims to deal with external subsidies that have a distorting effect on the EU's single market, would give the European Commission the authority to investigate external subsidies in mergers and acquisitions, as well as bids in large public procurement proceedings.

 

The European Union and China's executive body gave political approval to a massive investment agreement last year, after seven years of arduous negotiations. 

The share of Chinese investments in European companies increased to an estimated 9.5% by the end of 2019, and the volume of Chinese investments in Europe increased to more than 120 billion dollars last year 2020.

Over the past year, the European Union Commission sought to clamp down on Chinese companies' owning stakes in some technology institutions in the EU member states, but the Chinese share in European technology and manufacturing companies is still large.

An analytical study recently published by Bloomberg Agency, which examined 679 completed or underway deals concluded in 30 European countries since 2008, said that Chinese companies backed by the state or private participated in deals of no less than 255 billion dollars, acquiring 360 companies in various countries. fields, from the Italian tire manufacturer Pirelli, to an Irish aircraft rental company.

A recent study by the Council on American Foreign Relations says that two-thirds of the European Union countries joined the Chinese "Belt and Road" initiative until last year 2020.

In recent years, Beijing has financed a large number of infrastructure projects in the Balkans and Eastern Europe, which were in dire need of new investments. China also continues to export its goods to Europe via trains, ports and airports within the "Belt and Road" initiative.
