China Seeks Expats' Suggestions on 13th 5-year Plan－外国人为十三五进言献策

Since 1953, the Chinese government has made development plans every five years. Now it is approaching the 13th, covering the crucial period of 2016-2020, by the end of which China is expected to achieve moderate prosperity.

A guideline for the 13th Five-Year Plan will be reviewed and passed in March 2016, during the convention of the annual two sessions - the National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.

It should be noted that the guideline will be introduced against a complicated domestic and global economic background. The administration, led by Premier Li Keqiang, is expected to tackle various challenges for the upcoming period and pursue development that is innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared by all.
