The Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Three "Hundred Years"
The Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee usually focuses on major propositions concerning the development of the party and the country.
Since the 1990s, it has become a common practice to discuss and formulate a five-year national economic plan (plan) at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee.
As an important platform for China to clarify its development strategy, the Fifth Plenary Session is also a window for the outside world to perceive the pulse of China's development.
Based on the current special background of the times and the complicated external environment, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is particularly "heavy" to China.
At present, China must not only build a moderately prosperous society in all respects and achieve its first centenary goal, but also take advantage of the momentum to embark on a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and march towards the second centenary goal.
The "14th Five-Year Plan" period happens to be embedded in this historical intersection. It is the first five years after the achievement of the first centenary goal and the first five years to march towards the second centenary goal. The weight of development is self-evident.
At the same time, China today is still in the context of another "hundred years" of the world, that is, the "big changes unseen in a century" frequently mentioned by Xi Jinping.
The global pandemic of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has accelerated this big change, protectionism and unilateralism have risen, and the international economy, science and technology, culture, security, and politics are all undergoing profound adjustments.
Xi Jinping's judgments that "the world has entered a period of turbulent change" and that China "will face more headwinds and headwinds of the external environment" all indicate the changing times.
China needs a flexible adjustment and a more forward-looking national development plan to consolidate the foundation for development and guard the road to recovery.
Prior to this, Xi Jinping used seven consecutive seminars including entrepreneurs’ forums, economic and social experts’ forums, and scientists’ forums to formulate the "14th Five-Year Plan" plan within two months to build a new development pattern and lay a solid foundation for key core technologies. The expressions of fighting tough battles and ensuring people's health in an all-round and full cycle have entered the public eye, and the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee will become a benchmark meeting for Xi Jinping to answer China's response to major changes.
