The recent 5th plenary session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) fully recognized China’s huge economic and social progress achieved during the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020) period.
Starting from the overall situation of the cause of the Party and the country, grasping the trend and laws of global development, and analyzing domestic and international situations in an in-depth manner, the session deliberated and adopted the CPC Central Committee’s proposals for the formulation of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035.
It is a guiding document that marks the country’s new journey to fully build a modern socialist country and to march toward its second centenary goal, as well as a guideline for China’s economic and social development in the next five years and even a longer period. For the present and the years to come, to implement the spirit of the session will be an important political task of the Party and country, so the decisions and requirements formulated by the proposals can be put into practice.
The 13th Five-Year Plan period marked a decisive stage for China to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects. Facing complicated international situation, as well as arduous tasks of domestic reform and development, especially the impacts from COVID-19, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core stayed true to its original aspirations.
