President Xi Jinping is setting the stage for a dynamic future through the drafting of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). In a series of strategic moves, Xi has underscored the importance of aligning economic growth with innovative technology and robust public input.
During a recent symposium in east China's Shanghai, Xi emphasized that managing domestic affairs with a people-centered approach is key to expanding high-standard opening up. He highlighted that this plan will prioritize technology-driven growth—aiming to transform traditional industries and boost emerging sectors. 🚀
A unique aspect of this process is the large-scale online campaign, which saw over 3.11 million suggestions from residents. This vibrant exchange of ideas—ranging from using AI to enhance community safety to developing more science-focused educational initiatives—illustrates how public opinion is guiding this new blueprint for development.
In addition, Xi stressed that future policies must balance development with security, ensuring that both domestic and external risks are carefully assessed. The comprehensive plan is set to integrate inputs from grassroots investigations and high-level strategic meetings, including the notable session chaired by Xi on July 30 with the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.
With a strong emphasis on innovation, education, and talent, the 15th Five-Year Plan seeks to build a modern industrial system that is both agile and resilient. As the drafting continues, the public’s robust contributions remain a testament to a governance style that listens and adapts—qualities that are resonating with a digitally savvy generation eager for change.
