Abstract

Each institution follows a specific strategy to achieve its national interests and national security, which naturally belongs to international conditions and balances. China, which has seen a significant rise in its rise as a major power, is due to the lack of energy due to its dependence on large imports of oil imports from the Middle East. Since 2003, China has used soft power in Iraq, taking advantage of the oil route links to strengthen it in the Gaza Strip, and investing in reconstruction projects. Therefore, China contributes to strengthening it economically through economic cooperation, and Iraq stands out in the Chinese diversified strategy as a source of this in addition to its important geographical location, which is what attracts economic development opportunities and Iraq should address the problems that may hinder it.
