CNN, March 4. Original headline: China is ready to unveil a plan to conquer the future.
For the past five years, China has focused on developing innovation and advanced technologies domestically. Over the next five years, Beijing intends to leverage these achievements to develop its economy and strengthen its position on the global stage.
One of the key topics of the current session of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) – the so-called "two sessions" – is the consideration of the draft program of the 15th Five-Year Plan, a plan for the country's economic development over the next five years.
China is encouraged by a number of recent successes: new Chinese AI companies are actively competing with their American rivals, leading electric vehicle manufacturers are dominating global sales, and humanoid robots are also attracting global attention. Building on this foundation, China intends to use the new plan to further spur innovation and strengthen its economic strength and international influence.
At the same time, China recognizes that it is developing its next national development plan at a critical moment, one that brings both new opportunities and risks. The global order is in flux: the United States is adjusting its policies and is increasingly perceived as disunited and unpredictable, while rapid technological advances are changing the nature of work.
Although China still lags behind the US in a number of high-tech areas, including semiconductors, experts note that Beijing is making steady progress. Economists believe that the proposals for the 15th Five-Year Plan are more forward-looking and emphasize breakthroughs in key technologies and accelerated integration of technology with industry.
The 15th Five-Year Plan proposals explicitly call for "long-term planning for the industries of the future." The document highlights six areas: quantum technologies, biomanufacturing, hydrogen and fusion energy, brain-computer interfaces, embodied artificial intelligence, and sixth-generation (6G) mobile communications. Observers note that this plan aims not only to stimulate innovation but also to facilitate the large-scale implementation of technological advances in China's vast manufacturing sector, as well as in its megacities. This signifies a shift from the "frantic pursuit of technological breakthroughs for the sake of innovation" to the development of more sophisticated systems for the application and promotion of innovation.
Analysts note that, alongside growing domestic demand, China will seek to increase its role in the global economy. The country will no longer be merely the "world's factory," but rather a source of technologies such as AI chatbots, chips, and robots, which other countries can use to develop their own economies.
Some Western officials have expressed so-called "concerns" about the global application of Chinese technology. However, the news from Beijing this week is different: China's innovation and development should benefit the entire world.
