“No one takes Joe Wilson seriously, even in his own country,” said Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.

According to the PM, U.S. President Donald Trump is deepening relations with China.

“Joe Wilson represents the Republican Party, the party of the U.S. President, who is trying his best to deepen political and economic ties with China. Donald Trump has recently visited China and called the Chinese President a friend. Against this backdrop, when someone like Joe Wilson talks about China and its negative impact on the South Caucasus region, it is completely unserious and is not worth making any comment,” he said.

U.S. House of Representatives passed the Countering China’s Control of the Caucasus Act on June 8. It requires the Secretary of State, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defence, to produce a classified report examining the extent of Russian and Chinese intelligence penetration and the intersection of their influence in Georgia.

Congressman Joe Wilson said that “the illegitimate Georgian Dream regime is currently in the process of selling the country to the Chinese Communist Party and war criminal Putin and Iran, which is against the will of the Georgian people and the interests of the United States.”
