Xi Jinping Seeks Fresh Perspectives on Next Five-Year Roadmap 🤝
On August 27, at a symposium in Beijing, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee Xi Jinping brought together a lively mix of thinkers: leaders from non-CPC political parties, reps from the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, entrepreneurs, and independents. His mission? Gather big ideas to shape the 15th Five-Year Plan 2026-2030.
This plan is like the Chinese mainland's multi-year roadmap for economic growth and social development. Think of it as a startup's 5-year product plan—clear goals, milestone tweaks, and a shared vision. Xi highlighted that the blueprint must anchor on pushing toward socialist modernization, blending tech upgrades, sustainable growth, and people-first policies.
What’s on the table? Ideas spanned green energy boosts to digital economy upgrades, from urban-rural integration to fresh cultural initiatives. By inviting voices beyond the CPC, the leadership aims to tap into diverse expertise—like co-creating a playlist with a crew instead of solo DJing.
For young pros in South and Southeast Asia, the takeaway is clear: big goals need broad input. Whether you’re pitching in at your startup or crafting community projects, gathering a mix of perspectives can spark innovation and keep your roadmap on track. 🌏💡
