Do you believe that's the only publication presenting the FACT that China was one of the main beneficiaries of the Iraq invasion and occupation? Are you interested in the TRUTH or not?
Are you trying to tell me that YOU have the truth, that I should simply accept that because YOU are saying it's the truth, and I should do this RIGHT NOW? I will not be bullied by you or anyone else into accepting anything. You're giving me ONE source and so, because you are you, I need to just believe you. You have much to learn about how things work. Are YOU interested in the truth, or are you more interested in being RIGHT? End of conversation.
****When it comes to its oilfields, however, Iraq fears that China’s increasingly dominant position could mean the loss of important investments from Western countries.
“Iraq’s government and officials at state-run firms are concerned that further consolidation of fields in the hands of Chinese companies could accelerate an exodus of Western oil companies,” according to seven Iraqi oil officials and executives in an interview with Reuters. The fear is that “China’s dominance could make Iraq less attractive for investment from elsewhere,” officials added.
“We don’t want the Iraqi energy sector to be labelled as a China-led energy sector and this attitude is agreed by government and the oil ministry,” an Iraqi official said.****
This quote is the best of all.
****China’s state-run companies, on the other hand, are less concerned with getting better terms and making profits for investors. Instead, they are more focused on securing oil supplies for China’s growing economy, a Chinese oil executive told Reuters.****
I guess you'll only believe it if its Russia Today because we know Russia Today is all TRUTH all the time. If America and the West more generally controlled Iraq's oil and China is enemy number one, surely the West and America wouldn't allow China to set up shop in Iraq. And yet China has done just that.
There's a really great historian you might like: Matt Ehret. He gets into the nitty gritty, which you'll not see in ANY mainstream anything.
And btw, your logical fallacy, of basically calling me a Russian Bot because I disagree with you, is a clear sign that your case is weak. Guess what? Reading only ONE source (oops, sorry, TWO!!!) for your decision making is just about as foolish as everything you've said to me so far. If you recall, it was the USA that invaded Iraq, TWICE, to get at their oil. The USA is going into economic collapse, hello?? Do you think China is going to sit around and not try to buy that Iraqi oil? It's the IRAQIS that are tossing out the US troops, not China. Did you know that the US forced the Iraqis to grow ONLY what the US told them to grow as food crops? That sounds very friendly, doesn't it? Please, do yourself a favor and look up the word "hegemony."
