Civic IDEA’s third China Watch Report covers the controversies over SinoHydro & China Railway 23rd Bureau Group Co. The latter brings the story of Sinohydro Corporation Limited and China 23rd Railway Bureau Co, the Chinese companies that are responsible for the main infrastructural projects in Georgia and have a tainted reputation globally. We discuss the misconduct of the projects led by them in Georgia, particularly, the violations of environmental laws, violations of labor rights, violations of contractual terms, and regulations. Also, we evaluate the experiences of foreign countries to highlight the absence of due diligence on the side of the Georgian government while granting contracts to the company.

Civic IDEA’s third China Watch Report ?

Report-3

Report on Georgian – Chinese Affair. Report is about Chinese influence operations in Academia, Media and CSOs. We case study Georgia, however report is written with a comparative perspective of similar practices in other countries. 
Before the end of the year we will be publishing several other reports and findings about Cino-Georgian relations, including corrupt practices, lack of due diligence on the side of Georgian government, political influence operations, etc.
Civic IDEA and myself remain grateful to our donors who made our work possible and to Mr. Martin Hala for his continued expertise and support. 
Feel free to distribute it among all interested.
