In the recently concluded fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress, China's lawmakers approved the Outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan (15P). The 15P consists of a detailed plan for economic and social development for the 2026-2030 period. The 14P is the first Five-year plan after China achieved the first of her two centenary goals. Hence, the 15P is part of the country's long-term goal of achieving basic modernisation by 2035, and becoming a great modern socialist country that is "prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious, and beautiful" in 2049, the second centenary goal.
