with how important imports from China are for the Polish economy, even PiS straight up ignored US demands of antagonising China

That's one aspect. The other aspect which i was thinking of is how despite the tough anti-Russia rhetoric coming out of Poland, Poland has so far consistently refused the idea of sending troops to Ukraine whenever the UK and France have floated this proposal. This tells me that they at least have enough self-preservation instinct in Poland to recognize that, unlike the British and the French, they will be on the frontline of a NATO war against Russia and they know they will not enjoy being on the receiving end of Russian missiles.

Poland also seems more willing to immediately bend the knee to the new US administration, unlike the Germans, French and British who still delude themselves into thinking that they are important or that the Europeans have any real power in their relationship with the US.
