Signal For The Alliance: China Tries To ‘Push’ NATO Out Of The Black Sea

Beijing Seeks a new geopolitical lever.

China is striving to expand its military-logistical network under the guise of civilian infrastructure. This was stated by Andrii Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council.

“Beijing is trying to push NATO out of the Black Sea. Georgia has handed over the construction of the strategic Anaklia port to Chinese companies, excluding the U.S. from the project. China is investing hundreds of millions of dollars and acquiring nearly half of the shares. This is not just infrastructure—it is a geopolitical lever. Just 30 kilometers away is a Russian military base in Ochamchire,” he emphasized.

According to him, Anaklia is not the only example of China’s ambitions.

“When the Anaklia port operates at full capacity, China will gain greater direct access to Europe, bypassing both the Arctic and Ukraine,” he stressed.

Kovalenko also added that China is already present in Poti and is “moving into” Batumi. Beijing is developing its projects in Armenia and controlling logistics in the self-proclaimed Republic of Abkhazia.

“The Georgian government is increasingly integrating into the Chinese governance model, with Huawei in infrastructure, ‘anti-foreign’ laws, and more. China’s expansion in the Black Sea region is a signal for the Alliance—Beijing is no longer just in the Pacific,” said the head of the Center.

In his opinion, Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s strategy is to push NATO out of the eastern Black Sea, establish an alternative route to Europe without Russia and Turkey, and ultimately expand China’s military-logistical network under the cover of civilian projects.
