Chinese Embassy in Georgia

The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Georgia (中華人民共和國駐格魯吉亞大使館) is China’s chief diplomatic mission to Georgia, located in Tbilisi. The embassy handles visas and consular services and promotes trade, investment, and cultural exchange between the two countries. China was among the first countries to establish formal diplomatic relations with Georgia following its independence from the Soviet Union, on June 9, 1992. In June 2026, the two countries upgraded ties to a “comprehensive strategic partnership,” building on a strategic partnership established in 2023. In May 2024, Georgia’s parliament passed a “foreign agents” law requiring NGOs and media outlets that receive more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as serving foreign interests. The law triggered mass protests in Tbilisi and was condemned by the EU as a threat to Georgia’s democratic path. The Chinese ambassador said the law was “a matter of domestic politics” and that China’s non-interference reflected respect for Georgian sovereignty. The Digital Forensic Research Lab later found that these comments were amplified across pro-government Facebook and Telegram pages as part of a broader campaign framing China as more respectful of Georgian sovereignty than the US and EU.
