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 government of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who explicitly advocated a policy of containment of China.
