Reference Message Network reported on June 15 that the Spanish Know China Lecture Hall website published an article titled "On China's Long-term Thinking and Five-year Plan" on June 13. The author is Álvaro Paníos. The following are excerpts from the article: In July 1956, the First Automobile Manufacturing Plant located in Changchun City, Jilin Province, produced the first car manufactured in the People's Republic of China. This achievement was one of the preliminary results of the key projects planned in the country's first "Five-Year Plan" (1953 to 1957). By 2024, with highly automated and intelligent manufacturing levels, the factories of BYD, a major Chinese automobile manufacturer, can produce one new energy vehicle per minute, demonstrating progress made in advanced manufacturing outlined in the "14th Five-Year Plan" (2021 to 2025). The national economic and social development five-year plan is considered a key document regarding China's medium- and long-term economic and social progress. It outlines the overall goals, main tasks, and policy orientations across various fields for a five-year period. Using medium- and long-term plans to guide socioeconomic development is a significant advantage of China's governance system, as it provides necessary continuity and stability to achieve predetermined goals. Since the launch of the first Five-Year Plan, these plans have not only guided China's transformation and development but also evolved continuously according to changing conditions and challenges. One of its main features is the inclusion of quantifiable objectives, emphasizing both the planning process and implementation and evaluation. During the planning process, public and expert opinions and suggestions are given high importance. China is currently formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan ("Fifteen-Five" Plan) covering 2026 to 2030. This document will be one of the main roadmaps for China to achieve its modernization goals by 2035. As part of the drafting process, an online public consultation activity was launched on May 20, and the collected opinions and suggestions will provide reference for central decision-making. According to existing information, China's "Fifteen-Five" plan will focus on making new progress in science and technology innovation, industrial modernization, green development, and people's livelihood welfare. The plan will focus on achieving socialist modernization, building a modern socialist power, and promoting national rejuvenation. The primary challenge will be maintaining medium-to-high growth, with issues including insufficient effective demand. To address this challenge, key strategies include developing new quality productivity, stimulating consumption through creating new demands, and prioritizing stable employment. The concept of "new quality productivity," first proposed in 2023, refers to advanced productivity beyond traditional growth models and paths. Its characteristics are technological advancement, high efficiency, and high quality, thus aligning with China's new development philosophy. The "Fifteen-Five" plan will make China's development efforts adapt to changing circumstances. It is crucial not only for ensuring the continuous success of China's modernization process but also for stabilizing world economic development. From this perspective, China's new five-year plan can provide unprecedented certainty for the world economy. In times of profound unpredictability facing the world today, this is undoubtedly a vital stabilizing anchor.
