In a vibrant gathering this Monday, members of the Standing Committee of the 14th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee kicked off their 13th session, setting the stage for the drafting of the Chinese mainland's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). 🎉
Wang Huning—who doubles as a Political Bureau Standing Committee member of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee—presided over the meeting. He reminded everyone that the next Five-Year Plan period will be crucial for consolidating the foundation and turbocharging efforts toward "basically realizing socialist modernization." 🚀
Joining the discussion was Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang, also a Political Bureau Standing Committee member of the CPC Central Committee. Ding highlighted how, under the current plan, the Chinese mainland's economic strength, tech capabilities, and overall national power have reached striking new heights. 📈
But the big ask? Ding emphasized the need for deep analysis, detailed research, and broad consultation across sectors to draft a high-quality plan. "Let's set reasonable goals, map out major strategic initiatives, and ensure decisive progress," he urged, making it clear that teamwork and fresh ideas are key. 🤝
As voices and perspectives come together, the CPPCC aims to turn this plan into a roadmap for growth, innovation, and social progress over the next five years. Stay tuned as this dynamic process unfolds—and get ready to see how these decisions might shape the future of the Chinese mainland! 🌏✨
