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

Chinytolubie is now also present on social media, with over 12,000 followers on Facebook.

Chodak says as the website's scale expands and popularity increases, sometimes publicists come to him with news stories, but he still insists on following China-related topics around the clock and writing most of the content himself.

"My family and friends often wonder how I can have time to do it all, but this is my passion," says a grinning Chodak.

"They are very supportive and often surprised that I am not living in China yet."

Thanks to his rapidly growing audience, Chodak has embarked on other projects in cooperation with some organizations and companies to promote Chinese language learning and provide event support via his website, and he has received invitations to speak about China in universities.

Asked for his thoughts about Poland-China relations, he stressed the tremendous potential brought along by the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative and the "16+1" cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European countries.

The Belt and Road Initiative aims to create greater trade, infrastructure and people-to-people links between Asia, Europe and Africa by reviving and expanding the ancient Silk Road trade routes, while the"16+1" is a mechanism to boost cooperation between China and 16 CEE countries, including Poland.

"It makes broader cooperation and mutual understanding possible," Chodak says, adding that Poland can play a key role in logistics given its strategic location, and having a lot to contribute in such fields as IT and environmental protection.

For the future, he has an ambitious goal. "My dream is to make Chinytolubie a recognizable platform worldwide, where everyone can read about China."
