    Iraqis need, like any other people, basic infrastructure like to make their society work. Propaganda or not, a school is a school. Children and adults getting educated and having chances of getting better jobs, instead of falling into traps like the so called Islamic State that brought only death, rape and suffering.

    Now if the Iraqis themselves want to argue if they prefer watching their schoolchildren singing in English or Mandarin, that should ultimately be the Iraqis decision, not ours.

      Only if full control of schools is with Iraq with no shady pressures from China to alter curriculums. It’d be iraqi decision if kids are taught kurdish/Arabic everything else is questionable education at best and outright propoganda at worst.
