Georgina Matusiak

Abstract

The article brings the Polish-Chinese relations being the result of the economic cooperation between the authorities of Jaworzno and Chinese investors since 2010 closer. The biggest Poland International Trade Centre (SCC) in southern Poland was created in Jaworzno. The aim of the research was an attempt to answer the following questions: 1) how did the Polish-Chinese neighbourhood influence the reorganization of Jaworzno?, 2) what was the source of creating stereotypes and local legends?, 3) what influence did it have on the quality of the neighbourhood?, 4) how did the Chinese adapt to the local social system?, and 5) how do the inhabitants of Jaworzno evaluate and adjust to the changes taking into account their fears, and hopes connected with the appearance of the emigrants of the Chinese origin?
