Foreign visits by state delegations constitute a regular component of international relations. The case of Poland in the Stalinist era was no different in this respect, even though the foreign visits were usually limited to the democracies of their fellow comrades. Among such numerous visits made by the Polish officials of the time, one is of special interest to us. This was a party-governmental visit to the People’s Republic of China and the Mongolian People’s Republic, held from 24 September until 13 October 1954. The pretext for the “friendly visit” were the celebrations of the fifth anniversary of the rise of the People’s Republic of China, held on 1 October 1954. The invitation was issued by the Central Government of the People’s Republic of China, and addressed exclusively to representatives of the Communist states and parties. The four–member Polish delegation was headed by the Secretary General of the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers’ Party (henceforth as PUWP) Bolesław Bierut and it also included a Member of the Political Office (Politburo) of the Central Committee of PUWP, deputy prime minister Jakub Berman, deputy prime minister Stefan Jędrychowski and the vice-president of the Council of the State Stefan Ignar. It was the first visit by top-ranking Polish Communist officials in China, which would not have been possible without the prior reshuffle in the Soviet Union’s political regime after the death of Joseph Stalin. This article presents the course of events of the above–mentioned, exotic visit as reported by the press articles in “Trybuna Ludu” [People’s Tribune] – the major press title of the Central Committee of PUWP. Our analysis of these press reports, sent with a two-day delay via a correspondent of the Polish Press Agency, shows which facts relating to the event were highlighted by the journalists.
