Civic IDEA is pleased to announce the release of our new publication, “From Schools to State: China’s Quiet Takeover – Illusions of Partnership, Risks of Dependence.”
This report provides a concise overview of the key trends shaping Sino–Georgian relations, with particular attention to the implications of the Georgia–China Strategic Partnership Agreement signed in 2023.
Drawing on Civic IDEA’s extensive research, the publication explores the complex dimensions of Chinese engagement in Georgia — including opaque business dealings between Georgian Dream–affiliated businessmen and Chinese companies, the growing risks associated with Chinese-made technologies, and the expanding influence of China in Georgia’s educational and cultural spheres.
We invite you to read and share this important study, which sheds light on the increasingly precarious nature of Georgia’s engagement with China and the potential risks it poses to national sovereignty and democratic resilience.
