Many companies with foreign capital believe that the 15th Five-Year Plan presents a clear "list of opportunities" for global investors. Foreign company executives have expressed their willingness to actively pursue these opportunities for further development in the Chinese market.
Jiang Ying, Chairwoman of Deloitte China, noted that the draft program implements long-term strategic goals through practical actions at every stage, ensuring continuity and flexibility. The program includes 109 major projects, a significant increase compared to the 14th Five-Year Plan period; average annual growth in R&D investment will exceed 7%; and a system for cultivating future industry chains is planned. She believes the program provides clear guidance for local governments and businesses, particularly in promoting the deep integration of technological and industrial innovation.
Hu Zhizhi, President of UBS Group in China, noted that the innovative activity of Chinese companies in artificial intelligence, high-tech manufacturing, semiconductors, and new energy sources is changing the way global investors view Chinese assets. The program, aimed at accelerating self-sufficiency in high technology and developing new productive forces, will transform Chinese assets from an "option" to a "strategic choice," providing foreign financial institutions with a historic opportunity to participate in China's high-quality development.
Zhao Mingqi, CEO of GLP China, stated that the plan to strengthen support for computing infrastructure is fully aligned with the company's strategy. GLP has already paved the way for the conversion of logistics parks into data centers and continues to expand investment and operations in AI-enabled data centers in China to better serve industries such as finance and the internet.
Zhu Jianliu, Vice President of Corporate Affairs at Budweiser China, believes that the plan's proposed initiatives to "build a strong domestic market" and "actively stimulate consumption" have strengthened the company's confidence in its intention to deepen its presence in China's consumer market. The company plans to attract global brands like the electronic music festival Tomorrowland to China to create high-quality consumer experiences.
Many foreign financial institutions point out that the 15th Five-Year Plan sends a clear signal of China's expanding openness and a transition to high-quality institutional openness. Zhang Lei, Vice President of Communications for Greater China and Northeast Asia at Bayer Group, noted that from expedited approvals for innovative drugs and support for the biopharmaceutical sector in the revised catalog of encouraged industries for foreign investment to support for platforms like the CIIE, China is creating an arena for multinational companies to innovate through institutional openness. This high-level openness program has strengthened Bayer's confidence in developing in China.
Xia Jun, EY's Managing Partner for Central China, stated that the program's proposed "access and level playing field" directly addresses the key interests of foreign companies, helping to remove various hidden barriers and create a transparent, stable, and predictable institutional environment. This shift from "providing preferential treatment" to "creating mechanisms" is the foundation for strengthening the long-term confidence of foreign capital.
Standard Chartered Group CEO Winters believes innovation and domestic demand are the two top priorities of the program, and that the driving force behind China's economic growth will increasingly come from technology, productivity growth, and more proactive policies to stimulate domestic demand. He described the Chinese economy as "stable, predictable, dynamic, and forward-looking," emphasizing that in the current climate of global uncertainty, "stability is a very good thing."
