China has said that it will see to it that any Chinese firms working on military related projects in Iraq stop doing so. While China has always been cozy with Iraq, China does a lot more trade with America. Thus Chinese firms are allowed to hustle business in Iraq, and given the way China is run, there is not a lot of government oversight.
