“China’s 15th Five‑Year Plan will sustain its role as a major driver of global growth, contributing roughly 30% of worldwide output each year while advancing institutional opening and shaping a fair, inclusive international economic order,” bared Chinese Consul General in Cebu Zhang Zhen, at the New Year Media Briefing Tuesday, January 27 at Mandarin Plaza Hotel, Archbishop Reyes Avenue, Cebu City.
Consul Zhen, in her opening presentation, talked about the evolution of China’s 5-Year Plans and its role in China's development, starting with the first plan in 1953 that focused on industrialization and economic growth. The plans have evolved over time, incorporating broader goals of social equality, environmental protection, cultural enrichment, and national governance.
She highlighted the 14th 5-Year Plan
with technological breakthroughs including the development of a domestically
produced AI model and it accelerated China's green transition and fostered a
world-class electric vehicle industry. It marked a significant milestone with
China achieving GDP growth without increasing records, focusing on long-term
governance.
Zhen talked about the latest developments in China-- the development of a new method to mass produce high-quality indium selenide chips, which outperform current technology. The innovation involves controlling the atomic ratio between indium and selenium, leading to the production of indium 797 and desertification and ecological barriers.
“Striking energy spreading across the Desert in China's mainland, completing a barrier belt along the southwestern edge of the Desert to stabilize the land against desertification. The country has been innovative in anti-desertification measures, combining solar panels with crop plantations. Over 3000 kilometers of ecological barriers have been recognized globally for their effectiveness,” Consul Zhen shared.
The 15th five-year plan is expected to continue China's modernization efforts, building on the achievements of the 14th plan, Zhen said adding that the 14th plan moved from prescriptive to strategic and the 15th plan highlighted green transition and AI breakthroughs and promotes Taiwan sovereignty and reunification stance.
“China maintains that Taiwan remains part of its territory and opposes independence, citing the one‑China principle and international support for reunification,” Zhen bared.
