The year 2026 marks the start of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030) period. Looking ahead to the new year, Su Hao, founding director of Center for Strategy and Peace Studies from China Foreign Affairs University, and associate dean of the Institute of Global Governance and Development of Renmin University of China, stated in the latest W.E. Talk that as the world's second-largest economy, China's economic development boasts a solid foundation and broad room for progress, while also providing important impetus and stable support for the global economy.
Benjamin Norton, founder of the Geopolitical Economy Report, U.S. foreign policy expert, also emphasized that the 15th Five-Year Plan is not only crucial for China but also of great significance to the world. China's contributions in areas such as scientific and technological innovation benefit not only its own people but also people around the globe.
