YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The European country of Georgia has announced an upgrade in bilateral ties with China, to what both are calling a "strategic partnership." It is part of a foreign policy shift, that has seen Tbilisi friendlier to authoritarian states, including Russia.

In the deal with China, Georgia commits to China's Belt and Road Initiative. Beijing promises Tbilisi preferential lending from Chinese banks, for possible projects including a new international airport, a deep sea port, and several hydroelectric power stations.

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili sealed the deal on a visit to China, where he met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
