Poland is increasingly developing economic cooperation with non-European countries. The development of such cooperation is much more difficult than in the case of European countries, mainly because of the geographical distance, the different business environment and high competition with foreign companies. However, due to the EU’s protracted economic problems, one solution for Polish companies has been to search for new business partners outside Europe and expand trade and investment on new markets where the Polish presence is relatively weak. One of the most important directions of this expansion is the East, with China being among the largest centres of the global economy and a country with the highest rate of economic growth. Not only China’s economic success but also its size and the growth potential of its internal market offer great opportunities for foreign companies and their business interests. China is one of the most important directions for expansion in the business strategy of many companies in the next few years
