China’s 15th Five-Year Plan: Groundwork for the Future?

China’s Five-Year Plans are often seen as central to how the country sets its economic and political direction. This report uses the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030) as a case study to explore what these processes reveal about China’s priorities, particularly in technological self-reliance, economic restructuring, and security.

This report examines three questions

• What is the nature of China’s five-year plans and other planning processes?
• What does its new 15th Five-Year Plan tell us about the country’s current priorities?
• How effective will the Plan be in determining future policies?

Join us for a conversation with Dr Peter Harris on China's planning system and the 15th Five-Year Plan.
