People’s Republic of China has essentially achieved the goals set out in its 14th Five-Year Plan, which is due to be completed by the end of 2025, and is already preparing for the 15th Five-Year Developpement Plan scheduled to begin in 2026. The period of the 15th Plan (2026-2030) is defined as a critical milestone on the path towards China’s goal of essentially completing the socialist modernization by 2035. This Plan aims to serve as a bridge between the past and the future, thereby laying the foundation for the goal of the second century (to build China into a modern socialist country in all its dimensions), lasting until the 100th anniversary of the Republic in 2049.
