<strong>On Georgia and China: Strategic Perspectives\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The project was far from straightforward. One of the greatest difficulties was the scarcity of available information, particularly on the Georgia-Hong Kong dimension. In many areas there was simply not enough consolidated, practical material to rely on. This forced me to go beyond existing sources, connect insights from different fields, and gradually build a clearer picture of the opportunities, challenges, and potential for cooperation. <\/p>\n<p>That challenge shaped the purpose of the book from the very beginning. I did not want to produce something purely theoretical. Instead, I set out to create a practical guide \u2014 one that helps readers understand the relationship between Georgia and China (and Georgia-Hong Kong in particular), examine it from multiple strategic angles, and, most importantly, see how these connections can translate into real opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>In that sense, this book is only the first step in a much larger journey. I&#8217;m especially excited about what comes next: more projects, deeper international cooperation, and practical initiatives that link Georgia with Hong Kong, China, Eurasian markets, and the wider world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_8596-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1650\" src=\"https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_8596-1-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_8596-1-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_8596-1-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_8596-1-768x1366.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_8596-1-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_8596-1-1152x2048.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_8596-1-scaled.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_8599-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1654\" src=\"https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_8599-3-164x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"164\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_8599-3-164x300.jpg 164w, https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_8599-3-560x1024.jpg 560w, https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_8599-3-768x1404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_8599-3-840x1536.jpg 840w, https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/img_8599-3.jpg 1091w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 164px) 100vw, 164px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"114\" data-end=\"117\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eurasia Access \u2014 a cross-regional platform connecting global capital with high-potential investment opportunities across Eurasia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eurasia Access operates at the intersection of investment, trade, and strategic connectivity, providing curated access to a pipeline exceeding $2.5 billion across renewable energy, fintech and banking innovation, natural resources, logistics and aviation infrastructure, and real estate. <strong>Visit: eurasiaaccess.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-05-at-12.13.30-pm-scaled.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1620 \" src=\"https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-05-at-12.13.30-pm-scaled.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"554\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-05-at-12.13.30-pm-scaled.png 2560w, https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-05-at-12.13.30-pm-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-05-at-12.13.30-pm-1024x546.png 1024w, https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-05-at-12.13.30-pm-768x409.png 768w, https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-05-at-12.13.30-pm-1536x818.png 1536w, https:\/\/ekakhorbaladze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-05-at-12.13.30-pm-2048x1091.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"114\" data-end=\"117\" \/>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Launch of \u00a0the World Top Universities Alumni Association of Georgia\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Proud to announce the founding of the World Top Universities Alumni Association of Georgia \u2013 a first-of-its-kind professional network uniting Georgian alumni of the world\u2019s leading universities.
