Summary/Abstract: Between 2017 and 2023, the Polish authorities presented two main foreign policy visions towards China. The main division line was between President Andrzej Duda – a supporter of Poland’s engagement with China – and the gov- ernment of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who explicitly advocated a pol- icy of containment. This article examines these divisions from the perspective of the domestic horizontal contestation of national roles in foreign policy.
