Chapter 825 Economic and Trade with the United States
Cai Ruichen's economic model for building Iraq is actually similar to that of the United States, but there is also a certain gap.
The United States is a country with a pure consumer economy, and not much of what was once industry remains.
Iraq's development plan looks similar to that of the United States' consumer-based economy, but it still places great emphasis on the development of light and heavy industries.
In particular, light industries, which have little investment and quick results, are now mushrooming all over the country in Iraq.
I am afraid that in a few months, a large number of ordinary daily necessities in Iraq will also be completely imported and completely domestically produced, and once all light industrial products can meet domestic demand, it will be the first step to success.
Heavy industry is the real criterion for measuring a country's national strength.
The high-tech industry is the standard for judging whether a country is advanced or not since the beginning of the new century.
In terms of industry, the Iraqis have fallen too far behind, but fortunately, if you start now, although the start is too much too late, the starting point is not small.
With Future Technologies Group, it is only a matter of time before everything is for Iraq.
At the same time, a large number of new policies have been formulated under the Government of Iraq, with special emphasis on the national labour structure and the minimum wage in the country.
It's just that many of the policies are completely contrary to Iraqi traditions, and it can even be said that Iraqis are forced to abandon many of their own traditions.
One of them is the issue of education and employment, which has caused a lot of discontent in Iraq, and even some fanatical Iraqis. I couldn't sit still.
For such opposing voices, Idris has only one approach, that is, the amount is small, non-gentleman, not poisonous, not husband.
Cai Ruichen originally planned to change slowly. He didn't want to cause too much disgust among Iraqis, but he didn't expect Idris to be so radical.
Idris, who completely controlled Iraq's Supreme ****** Court, burned many people who kept old traditions at the stake.
It is not easy to get a single charge, and the current Iraqi government is highly united, and the central bloc completely controls the military and political power. No opposition can make even a splash.
Soon, a lot of opposition was gone. Voices of protest against the construction of schools, voices against economic openness, voices against new policies, under darkness and iron. Almost all of them are gone.
The average person barely feels anything. It's just that I often hear that the elders of the mosque are corrupt today, or which elder who was originally highly respected actually raised women outside, and then ordinary people just clapped their hands and watched these once high-ranking civil elders being taken away by the bailiffs of the ****** court.
If anyone who cares can pay attention, they will find that all the people involved in similar incidents that occurred throughout Iraq have previously expressed their dissatisfaction with the government's new policies. Or outright resistance to the new policy.
But Iraqis, all of whom are trying to build a new life, pay little attention to them.
And a new generation of Iraqis. Hardly anyone likes the old traditions, they are hungry for knowledge, and they are even more eager to have the ability to change their own destiny.
Learning and knowledge have become the only means they can change all this, not to mention that in any school in Iraq, there is no money to study, and both men and women, as long as they are of the right age, can go to school.
The government has even issued a law that all school-age children, both male and female, must go to school, and those who block it will not only be fined, but also sentenced to prison.
In fact, compared with many countries in the Arab world, Iraq is definitely a country that is very open-minded and conscious, and it is not at all like the Taliban region that sticks to tradition and ignores the people.
The reason why Iraq opened up is actually because it has accepted the impact of too many foreign trends, so that many young generations have begun to understand what the world is really like. And these people are also the most receptive to new things.
If Iraq were a country similar to the Taliban in Pakistan, it would be absolutely impossible for the United States to form an alliance with Cai Ruichen in Iraq.
Because of this, it is impossible for Iraq to become an ally of the United States, but Iraq is becoming an enlightened country, and the United States also believes that the existence of science and technology groups in the future will also greatly change Iraq.
As long as the relationship between the United States and Cai Ruichen is good, the relationship between Iraq and the United States will not be bad.
Otherwise, the United States would not have abandoned the Kurds in Iraq and would not have stopped trying to divide Iraq's strategic objectives.
Of course, ******** is actually the result of paying attention to elasticity, and the so-called elasticity is to be able to stretch freely on the good side and the bad side.
Cooperation with Cai Ruichen, for the United States, there are pros and cons, and the temporary stage naturally has more advantages than disadvantages, and it is much more than that.
In the long run, the United States believes that cooperating with Cai Ruichen is not necessarily a bad thing.
Because as long as the United States is willing, there is no doubt that the technology group will be completely destroyed by the United States in the future.
Therefore, the Americans believe that it is impossible for Cai Ruichen to jump up, and the United States will always monitor the development of the future technology group, and will definitely not allow the future technology group to develop to a strength that can threaten the interests of the United States in the Middle East.
At the same time, the American side also has ideas about Iraq's industrial and military development.
An Iraq with a good economy is still what the Americans are willing to see, and at least the Iraqi government has money, and it can afford to pay off hundreds of billions of dollars in debt.
And an economically recovering Iraq can also become a good overseas market for the United States, at least the United States believes that Iraq is completely unable to refuse American goods.
In fact, the United States is now enjoying the benefits of Iraq's economic recovery and infrastructure.
The United States is the world's largest exporter of beef, and Japan was originally the largest importer of American beef, but in recent years, beef exported from the United States to Japan has repeatedly failed to pass through customs, for the simple reason that Japan only needs beef cattle between three and five years.
And a lot of the beef exported from the United States is beef cattle between five and seven years, and Japan doesn't want it every time.
It doesn't matter now, even if it is seven years of beef, Iraq is still refusing, and in just a few months, the beef import has exceeded the total amount of beef imported by Japan in a year.
At the same time, a large number of related other food imports have also made the already weak agricultural and livestock economy of the United States simply a dead wood in the spring. (To be continued.) )
