President Andrzej Duda's visit to China is underway. Its overall assessment must, of course, wait until the president returns. However, respective elements are already noticeable and notable.
Andrzej Duda said: “I have a deep feeling that this visit contributes to further building relations between Poland and China. I hope that these relations will besides build up in the future. Mr President, I hope that they will always be based on common ideals, due to the fact that they are based on a community of ideals and besides well understood interests for 75 years." It's a courtesy formula, of course, but it's crucial today.
We know who president Andrzej Duda is. We know the perfect and household environment it comes from. We know who enabled him to win the presidential elections in Poland. I wouldn't be amazed to hear a message about the request to bring Chinese democracy into line with Western standards, stories about Uighur persecution, or support for Chinese dissidents in the US. So far, the president hasn't said anything stupid.
China endures visas for Poles. Anyone who wants to come up to 15 days, and so primarily for tourism or economic, business purposes, will be able to come without visas. This is crucial and expected information. It clearly shows a delicate warming of relations with the mediate State.
President Andrzej Duda himself touched on the thought of "Pasa and the Trail", that is to say, the plan to make two-way land roads for the exchange of goods in Europe and China. This is an crucial and repeatedly advocated substance for us. The chance of Poland is to be not a “eastern flank”, “a wall”, “a bearer of Western ideas” or “Christ of nations”, but just a place where the West meets the East. Poland has an excellent location, which does not should be a curse. Economic, political and cultural meetings should be established.
A profitable agreement on the export of Polish poultry was concluded. specified matters should not be disregarded. A full of 5 agreements have been signed, which may not be revolutionary but show a clear tendency and intentions.
1) advance bilateral trade cooperation.
2. Promoting two-way investment cooperation.
3) Work plan for demarcation and regionalisation of HPAIs
4) The question of inspection and quarantine of beans exported from Poland to China.
5) improvement of Chinese-Polish and Polish-Chinese dictionary.
I agree with prof. Adam Wielomski that president Andrzej Duda “did not make a breakthrough in relations with China. specified a breakthrough would should be made first by the United States. Polish abroad policy shows no autonomy and is only a reflection of Washington policy." Unfortunately, we are a dependent state and we are incapable to conduct a sovereign policy for the moment. Today's task will become a country akin to Hungary or Slovakia. In my opinion, this visit could not have taken place without discussing it with Washington. I'm certain there's been any kind of pattern. It is so worth examining the proportions of Polish and American communicative in the statements of president Duda in China. I fishy he will represent the interests of Washington on the Ukrainian issue. In cultural and civic matters he will not repeat American nonsense as Tusk or Trzaskowski would do today.
The visit itself may be a tiny announcement, but preparations for peace talks between the Russian Federation and Ukraine (United States) These talks can be conducted in the future through serious countries specified as China, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. This is crucial to our nation.
The visit of the president of Poland may be a test balloon. Poland is suitable for this role. She is, of course, seen as a NATO-wish overzealous in military matters. It is considered right, indeed, to be a mostly rusophobic state. At the same time, Poland is inactive considered to be a country that stays far from the imposed cultural and social dogma or ecological dogma by madmen in the United States. possibly this has been noticed and appreciated by China.
I fear that this may be another bluff akin to that of the platformed "reset" towards Russia. At the time I was pleased with president Vladimir Putin's visit to Gdansk on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the end of planet War II. At the time, I was hoping for a minimum standardization of our relations. Unfortunately, politically, it was just buying time and putting Russia's vigilance to sleep in the interests of NATO. As a result, Poland has only lost it.
However, despite this experience, I hope that this accident will be different. He expects that Andrzej Duda's visit is the designation of a peaceful and cost-effective course of relations with China and another countries expanding BRICS+. In this case, I am highly careful, but nevertheless optimistic.

Ps. It is besides crucial to note the furious attacks on the president from the Citizen Coalition and widely understood levitation. erstwhile again, it is confirmed that they represent the interests of centres outside Poland.
