Geoecohub

Written by Editors on .

Economic Center Network, operating digitally as Geoecohub, is a Georgian news website with editor-in-chief Liana Jorjoliani. Jorjoliani has maintained a sustained focus on Chinese affairs since at least 2015, participating in China’s 2019 Visiting Program for Young Sinologists and covering the 20th National Congress of the CCP in October 2022 as a foreign correspondent in Beijing. In her 2022 coverage, Jorjoliani praised China’s anti-corruption efforts and environmental policies, stating “China shows zero tolerance in opposing corruption, which reflects the Chinese government’s strong sense of responsibility” — a highly uncritical and, many experts would argue, uninformed perception of related policies — and describing the Congress organization as “excellent” evidence of “China’s open attitude.” Her reporting, including the widespread use of state media content from Xinhua News Agency and China News Service, occurs within the context of Georgia’s 2023 Strategic Partnership with China, which elevated bilateral relations and committed Georgia to “strengthen coordination and collaboration” with Beijing on regional and international affairs. Research by Civic Idea has documented pro-China propaganda networks in Georgian media following the partnership’s signing. Geoecohub has prominently promoted clear propaganda from China, including 2025 reports from a Xinhua News Agency think tank that purport to “reveal the truth about external forces interfering in the South China Sea issue.” Jorjoliani participated in the February 2026 Belt and Road Media Cooperation Forum journalist delegation touring Chinese industrial sites.The registration information for the Geoecohub website provides a Russia-based e-mail contact, medea23@rambler.ru, that links to the Facebook account of “Lika Zhorzholiani,” apparently an alternate spelling for Liana Jorjoliani.

Africa Media Holdings

Written by Editors on .

Africa Media Holdings is a Lesotho-based publishing company founded in 2008 by Zimbabwean journalist Basildon Peta, who serves as CEO. The company publishes the Lesotho Times, a weekly launched 2008, and Sunday Express, launched in 2009 — both operating under the masthead “News without fear or favor” and distributed in Lesotho and to Basotho audiences in South Africa. Peta, born circa 1972, is a veteran investigative journalist who fled Zimbabwe in 2002 after detention and persecution by the Robert Mugabe regime for reporting on corruption; he was the second journalist to receive the Media Institute of Southern Africa’s Press Freedom Award. African Media Holdings has faced sustained government pressure in Lesotho, including the 2016 shooting of editor Lloyd Mutungamiri and criminal defamation charges against Peta, which resulted in a landmark 2018 Constitutional Court ruling declaring criminal defamation unconstitutional. The company also operated the Free State Times and has faced financial difficulties, including a 2015 legal judgment requiring Peta to personally pay 125,000 US dollars under guarantee for debts owed to the Media Development Investment Fund, a New York-based NGO that provides financial assistance to independent media organizations. Peta participated in the February 2026 Belt and Road Media Cooperation Forum journalist delegation touring Chinese industrial sites.

Ghana–China Friendship Association

Written by Editors on .

The Ghana–China Friendship Association (加納—中國友好協會), or GHACHIFA, was incorporated on October 8, 1999, to facilitate non-state cooperation between Accra and Beijing — though its digital presence suggests an ad hoc operation. The association’s official website is registered to the police commissioner in the city of Tema, in the region of Greater Accra, and retains default “Consulting WP” WordPress theme filler on its “About” section. GHACHIFA’s founding directors include former Ambassador to China H.E. Kojo Amoo-Gottfried, Chinese business executive Jun Tak Hu, and Messrs. John Emmanuel Kwamina Moses, William Yiji Chobblah, and Nana Akua Busia — the latter four of whom seem to appear online only in the context of the association itself. The association serves as a platform for cultural and media engagements that align with Chinese diplomatic objectives. GHACHIFA promotes “friendship” (友好), a term that in CCP official discourse generally entails the accommodating of China’s interests in relationships. By hosting events for embassy officials and local stakeholders, the organization helps integrate Beijing’s strategic narratives, such as Belt and Road initiatives, into Ghanaian civil society and media circles. The Tema police commissioner associated with the GHACHIFA website registration, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, met with China’s ambassador to China in July 2025 to discuss joint police operations to safeguard “the safety and interests of Chinese citizens and enterprises.” Under the Belt and Road Initiative, China has invested in the expansion of the Tema Port, and Chinese tech companies such as Huawei, Tecno Mobile and StarTimes (a Chinese-run broadcast media company) have set up in the area.
