Answer

Supporting Evidence

There has been a case of a Taiwan citizen, in whose case the Polish Supreme Court ruled for extradition to China, however in another case the same Supreme Court blocked the extradition process and ordered a case review. As Poland does not recognize Taiwan as a state, Taiwanese citizens are treated as PRC citizens and are extradited to China unless the process is stopped due to special reasons such as the danger of death penalty, torture or other human rights abuse. The situation has changed with the new agreement between Taiwan and Poland on cooperation between Poland and Taiwan in civil and criminal cases that entered in force in February 2021.
