Against the backdrop of the 15th Five-Year-Plan (2026-2030) being drafted these months, this webinar wants to take stock of the implementations of the 14th Five-Year-Plan (2021-2025) to date, which was drafted in the first year of the Covid pandemic in 2020, endorsed by the NPC in 2021 and is now in its fifth and last year of execution.

This time period eventually witnessed, among many more, China’s real estate crisis, the 20th Party Congress, ASEAN becoming China’s largest trading partner, an aggravated level of insufficient demand and overcapacity in China’s economy, the end of Covid-related restrictions and the re-opening of its borders, Russia launching its war against Ukraine, the peaking of China’s population, new market governance dynamics shifting from tensions to reconciliation with China’s private sector, two US presidents, and finally the “Deep Seek” moment.

CMG wants to discuss the following key topics with their esteemed guest:

  • The strategic role and impact of the Dual Circulation policy concept
  • Highlight key challenges and key policymaking actions under the 14th Five-Year-Plan
  • Reform announcements at the “Third Plenum” (July 2024) and their implementation
  • China’s evolving external environment, incl. Trump 2.0 and US-China relations
  • China’s technological momentum, dependencies and ambitions
  • State and outlook of China’s post-Covid economic recovery
  • Changing premises and external factors for the 15th Five-Year-Plan
  • How are “supply” vs “demand” side each seen strategically by the Chinese leadership?
  • Are there structural levers or quick-wins to unleash more domestic demand to urgently and effectively revitalize the economy?
  • What is the role of China’s social security system to help unleash the domestic demand?
  • What is the link between domestic demand boost and “common prosperity”?

Join this wide-ranging discussion to get a strategic snapshot from a senior Chinese policymaker’s unique vantage point of where China’s development and its economy stand, as well as the key challenges and opportunities as seen by Beijing.
