Summary/Abstract: Upgrading Polish–Chinese relations to a strategic partnership in 2011 became a symbol of closer cooperation between the two countries. However, the relations at the top level are not sufficient to exploit the full potential of the partnership. The local administration is best positioned to stimulate the development of practical cooperation. Hence, Polish local governments should pursue closer relations with China’s western regions, use existing tools (direct railway connections, partnership agreements, regional offices) more effectively, and advocate cooperation based on mutual benefits.
