This year marks the completion of the 14th Five-Year Program.
During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China created the world's largest education, social security, and healthcare systems. The results of China's economic development and technological progress are truly translating into a sense of satisfaction and well-being among its people.
The high-speed train from Beijing to Shanghai takes just four hours. Haider al-Rubei, Chairman of the Iraqi-Chinese Friendship Society, shared his impressions of a recent trip to China with journalists: "The trip was very pleasant; I saw China's beautiful landscapes, from cities to villages. I discovered that China's economic development and the improvement of people's lives complement each other. Large-scale infrastructure construction has transformed people's daily lives, allowing them to truly enjoy the benefits of development."
He also noted that the average life expectancy in China has reached 79 years, an achievement driven by the improvement of China's public health system, better medical services, and comprehensive socio-economic development.
"Since 2016, I've been visiting China twice a year and have witnessed its changes and development over the past 10 years," said French international affairs expert Stéphane Parisot. He was particularly impressed by his visit to Chengdu in Sichuan Province. "Chengdu is rapidly developing economically and is renowned for its cuisine and culture. It is becoming an important hub for tourism and communications in China and around the world."
He believes that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China's urban development has achieved great success, especially in improving the environment and enhancing the level of medical care, and public security remains at a high level.
Marcos Pires, Director of the Institute of Economics and International Studies at the University of São Paulo (Brazil), noted that China's investments and reforms in education and healthcare have increased access to education, expanded the healthcare system, and expanded social security coverage, particularly in the area of elderly care. All of this has significantly improved the population's quality of life and, in his words, "laid a solid foundation for social stability and long-term development."
"Chinese high-speed trains have achieved impressive success," said Anongdet Phetkaisong, Deputy General Manager of Laos-China Railway Co., Ltd. He noted that China's high-speed rail network not only improves transport efficiency but also accelerates urbanization, facilitating resource mobility and economic development. "China's logistics industry is highly developed, stimulating the development of e-commerce and other industries," he added, noting that China's experience in developing transport infrastructure serves as a model for other countries.
