Polish Media Delegation Visits Beijing Communication University

On July 19, 2023, at Communication University of China (中国传媒大学) in Beijing, Polish Media Association (波兰媒体协会) Chairman Marek Traczyk met with university Vice President Yang Yi and officials from the China Journalists Association (中国记协), accompanied by CJA International Department Director Chen Tao (陈涛). The delegation claimed the visit would strengthen cooperation in “talent cultivation, industry exchange, and cultural innovation” under the Belt and Road Initiative (一带一路), with Yang noting the university’s commitment to “cross-civilizational exchange” (文明交流互鉴) and Traczyk expressing hopes for “deeper cooperation in culture, communication, and education.” Both sides referenced the June 2023 “China-Poland Journalists’ Home” (中波记者之家) memorandum and emphasized Poland’s participation in the Belt and Road “circle of friends,” using terminology about building a “community with shared future for mankind” (人类命运共同体) and promoting “people-to-people connectivity” (民心相通) — standard PRC diplomatic language suggesting the academic exchange serves broader soft power objectives rather than independent journalism education.
