🇬🇪🇨🇳 PRC – Georgian “Strategic Partnership” Fails to Deliver
Jamestown Foundation’s Eurasia Daily Monitor has published an article by Civic IDEA’s Chair, Tinatin Khidasheli, analyzing how the much-touted PRC–Georgian strategic partnership has failed to bring real benefits to Georgia.
Despite official claims that the partnership would lead to prosperity, Chinese investments remain minimal, trade imbalances favor Beijing, and state contracts – often financed by Western or Georgian taxpayers—are increasingly awarded to PRC companies.
Moreover, Beijing continues to abstain or vote against Georgia’s territorial integrity in the United Nations, aligning itself with Moscow and undermining Georgia’s sovereignty and Euro-Atlantic aspirations.
The article builds on Civic IDEA’s recent research: “From Schools to State: China’s Quiet Takeover — Illusions of Partnership, Risks of Dependence.”
