MP Levan Machavariani: Silence from foreign-agent parties on high-level Chinese visit proves they take orders from abroad

“The official visit to Georgia by Chinese Vice President Han Zheng represents a logical milestone in expanding trade, economic, and strategic ties between Tbilisi and Beijing, yet opposition parties have remained completely silent on orders from foreign handlers,” ruling party MP Levan Machavariani has charged.

In a social media post, ruling party MP Levan Machavariani noted that Vice President Han Zheng’s trip was Georgia’s highest-level foreign visit in nearly a decade, describing China as ‘currently the world’s only peaceful superpower’.

“I have been waiting for any response from these so-called opposition parties, in reality, agent-driven networks, yet their leaders prefer total silence regarding this immensely important visit,” Machavariani wrote.

“This uniform conduct and absolute silence demonstrate once again that they are coordinated from abroad by a single hand. Their foreign handlers knew full well that criticising the Vice President’s visit, and its outcomes would be not only futile but damaging, so they ordered their agents to stay quiet; an instruction local radicals obeyed without question,” he declared.

Machavariani linked the opposition’s reaction to the ongoing Constitutional Court proceedings regarding the potential banning of opposition groups:

“Against the backdrop of Constitutional Court hearings on banning unconstitutional political parties, this incident serves as yet another clear piece of evidence for both the court and the public that the ‘collective National Movement’ is directed from a single centre. They care nothing for the interests of their own country and people; their sole priority is to dutifully serve their handlers.”

Chinese Vice President Han Zheng arrived in Georgia on 6 November, leading an official delegation for high-level bilateral talks with the country’s President and Prime Minister.
