According to an article from Al Jazeera, Iraq's northern city of Sulaimaniyah in Kurdistan is attracting much foreign investment. According to this article, about 500 Chinese live in Sulaimaniyah of about 750,000 population. The Chinese market is located in the Kawa Mall.[1][2]
According to another source, "... Chinese make up only 500 of Sulaimaniya’s 750,000 population, but they have already made a cultural mark on the city." The incentive for investors from China is that "... Kurdistan lures foreign investors by enticing them with a 10-year tax break and the freedom to repatriate all of their capital, there are also no initial visa requirements for visitors and business people."[3]
