Laura Linderman, director of programs at the American Foreign Policy Council’s Central Asia-Caucasus Institute, told RFE/RL that Washington should leverage its influence within the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
"There are plenty of opportunities for Washington to influence the role of China in Georgia," Linderman said.
She urged the United States to ensure multilaterals "put conditions on any infrastructure projects" to prevent subcontracts from going to Chinese companies with "corrupt labor practices" or those that have been "proven bad actors in global trade."
