Moscow, October 14 (Xinhua) — China's focus on technological sovereignty and sustainable development during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) has enabled it to strengthen its economic position. This was stated by Boris Titov, Special Presidential Representative for Liaison with International Organizations to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals and Chairman of the Russian Section of the Russian-Chinese Committee for Friendship, Peace, and Development, ahead of the 4th Plenary Session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee.
"China has placed a premium on technological sovereignty and sustainable development, which has allowed it to strengthen its position in the face of global competition and sanctions pressure," he said in an interview with Xinhua.
B. Titov emphasized that China's average annual economic growth in the first four years of the 14th Five-Year Plan was 5.5 percent. He praised China's achievements in such areas as mechanical engineering and transportation, biotechnology and healthcare, high technology, and digitalization. The expert particularly highlighted the expansion of microchip production, the creation of the world's largest 5G network, and the development of artificial intelligence.
B. Titov highlighted China's successes in green energy and the greening of its economy. He noted that China is rapidly transitioning to renewable energy sources: solar, wind, and hydropower. Furthermore, China has become the undisputed world leader in electric vehicle production.
According to a Xinhua source, clear economic planning within the five-year plans allows China to successfully implement the Belt and Road Initiative. "By 2025, China's Belt and Road Initiative has transformed into a soft power tool, shifting its focus from raw materials infrastructure to digital and green technologies," the expert noted.
Speaking about the new 15th Five-Year Social and Economic Development Plan (2026-2030), B. Titov suggested that China will continue to move toward sustainable and high-quality growth. "The 15th plan aims to transform China into a 'high-income society' with an emphasis on the quality of growth, not speed," he emphasized.
The Russian expert also expressed hope for the further development of cooperation between China and Russia. Among the priority areas, B. Titov highlighted energy, increased supplies of Russian agricultural products to the Chinese market, increased Chinese investment in major transport projects and ports along the Northern Sea Route, and the development of the Digital Silk Road.
