'China, I like it': A Polish young man's ambition to bridge cultures

WARSAW - In Poland, the ever closer economic relationship with China has sparked people's interest in learning about a country more than 6,600 kilometers away, and many turn to a popular website named Chinytolubie, Polish for "China, I like it." "I wish to create a place where Polish people can find reliable information about China, a bridge for cultural exchange," said Piotr Chodak, founder of the Polish-language website dedicated to China-related news and information.

With an academic background of journalism and international relations, the marketing professional in his early 30s created Chinytolubie in 2013, although he had never been to China before. Nor had he worked in a China-related field.

Chodak explained that his personal attachment to China dated back to his childhood passion for Chinese martial arts.
