On March 13, 2026, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng emphasized at “China in Springtime: China’s Development Opportunities for the World” Global Dialogue U.S. Session that with its bright prospects becoming more tangible, Chinese modernization will instill certainty and stability into the world.

Ambassador Xie said that formulating and implementing Five-Year Plans is an important experience of the Communist Party of China in its governance. We carry out each blueprint to the end, and keep working hard from one generation to the next. This is the key to China’s success, and also a roadmap leading our people to a better life. Through implementing 14 Five-Year Plans consecutively, China has transformed from an impoverished agricultural nation into a major engine of global economic growth. Opening a new chapter in China’s high-quality development, the 15th Five-Year Plan specifies 20 main indicators, covering areas such as economic development, innovation, public wellbeing, and green and low-carbon development. It sets out major strategic tasks, including pursuing high-quality development, strengthening the domestic economy, and advancing common prosperity for all. It also proposes a total of 109 major projects in areas including steering the development of new quality productive forces. The Plan will therefore empower our drive to pursue Chinese modernization through a key stage, and lay a solid foundation for basically realizing socialist modernization by 2035. In an increasingly unstable and uncertain world, China will be an oasis of certainty and an anchor of stability.
