In a refreshing twist towards digital inclusivity, Chinese President Xi Jinping has pressed for an in-depth study of netizens' online opinions in shaping the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). An innovative online campaign, running from May 20 to June 20, gathered over 3.11 million suggestions—an impressive showcase of whole-process people's democracy.
Xi, who also serves as general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, urged departments at all levels to carefully study these ideas and integrate them into national strategies. It’s like a nationwide group chat where everyone’s voice counts! 🚀

With this massive public input, authorities hope to better capture the everyday aspirations of the people, paving the way for a promising future.
