China National People Congress Approves 15th Five-Year Plan for 2026-2030

The Chinese National People Congress approved the 15th Five-Year Plan on March 12, establishing high-quality development, technological self-reliance, and green transition as core strategic priorities. The plan is seen as a critical stage in China achieving socialist modernization by 2049.

China's National People Congress formally approved the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) Outline on March 12, marking a key step in the modernization strategy concerning nearly one-fifth of the global population. The plan uses high-quality development as its main thread and sets core targets covering economic development, technological innovation, green transition, public wellbeing, and national security. In technological self-reliance and self-improvement, the plan strategically positions semiconductors, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, robotics, and 6G communications as cutting-edge research and development breakthroughs. Regarding industrial upgrading, the plan proposes pushing traditional industries toward the mid-to-high end of the value chain, while cultivating emerging industries and conducting forward-looking strategic positioning for industries of the future. Analysts point out that this plan is highly coherent with the 13th and 14th Five-Year Plans, continuing the overall direction of using state power to lead the development of strategic emerging industries. The green transition domain includes multiple binding targets, reflecting China's long-term policy commitments on emissions reduction and sustainable development. Experts emphasize that the 15th Five-Year Plan period serves as a bridge between past and future with critical importance, and progress during these five years will largely determine whether China can achieve socialist modernization on schedule.
