If the food's anything to go by, Poland hits the mark

Strolling through the streets of Lodz, the Polish city around 90 minutes' drive from the capital Warsaw, you don't see many Chinese faces.

But Marek Cieslak, its deputy mayor, has a Chinese-language name card.

Since the completion of a 9,826-kilometer cargo train route in April 2013 linking the city to Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, he said he has received hundreds of business delegations from China.
