On October 24, the Argentine website Report Asia published an article titled "China's 15th Five-Year Plan: Five Years of Rapid Breakthroughs in Key Technologies."

The article stated that the 15th Five-Year Plan defines a roadmap for China's actions through 2030. The Chinese government aims to change its development model by emphasizing innovation and technological self-sufficiency, while continuously stimulating the development of new productive forces. This concept reflects China's aspiration to position the country at the forefront of the global technological and knowledge economy.

Chinese Minister of Science and Technology Yin Hejun stated that the goal of the 15th Five-Year Plan is to strengthen early innovation and achieve breakthroughs in key technologies. This formulation reflects a new consensus in China: technology is no longer an auxiliary tool for development, but is becoming the core of national strength. This goal is aimed at reducing external dependence in critical areas and transforming China's interactions with the international system.

In this context, the concept of “high-level scientific and technological independence and self-sufficiency” was incorporated into the national security strategy and the process of Chinese modernization, integrating technology, industry, defense and education into a single organic ecosystem.

At the same time, the 15th Five-Year Plan also holds profound implications for domestic economic development. The Chinese government plans to create a robust domestic market, boost productivity through industrial digitalization, and foster a resilient domestic market to reduce vulnerability to external pressure. This dual approach—"scientific and technological self-reliance, self-sufficiency, and expansion of domestic demand"—has become China's structural solution to counter trade, economic, and technological competition with the West.
