In Georgia, protests have erupted against the government's perceived vulnerabilities to Russian influence, yet a different challenge is emerging: the increasing presence of China. Over the past year, China has escalated its investment in Georgia by building essential infrastructure, including modern highways and a deep-sea port on the Black Sea, as part of its Belt and Road Initiative. This shift not only highlights concerns about the country's geopolitical alignment but also ignites significant debates regarding sovereignty and economic dependency in the Caucasus region.
Pro-Western protesters in Georgia are growing concerned as China's strategic investments in infrastructure and trade threaten to tilt the balance of influence away from the West.
The construction of viaducts and a deep-sea port by Chinese firms signals a significant shift in Georgia's economic alliances and raises alarms about its future direction.
