The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China concluded on the 23rd. The plenary session reviewed and approved the "Recommendations of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development."

This important meeting attracted widespread attention and heated discussions from people from many countries and international public opinion. "The 15th Five-Year Plan", "high-quality development", "green innovation", "high-level opening up", "mutual benefit and win-win"... these are keywords hotly discussed by global media and scholars, showing the world's eagerness to share new opportunities for China's development.

Provide certainty to the world with the "Five-Year Plan"

With the help of big data tools, reporters combed through recent reports from 105 media outlets around the world on the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The results showed that "five-year plan" is one of the most frequently occurring words. Media and scholars from various countries believe that the "15th Five-Year Plan" recommendations are not only China's development blueprint for the next five years, but also have a profound impact on the world.

An article in Spain's "El Mundo" said that for the Chinese people, each five-year plan has significantly improved people's lives and led the development process of this large Eastern country. The five-year plan is a strategic road map that describes China's economic and social development goals in the next five years.

"The five-year plan is an important part of China's national governance system." Eduardo Regalado, an expert on China issues at the Cuban Center for International Policy Research, said that China has proposed to basically realize socialist modernization by 2035. The "15th Five-Year Plan" period is a critical stage for this goal to connect the past and the future. The "15th Five-Year Plan" planning recommendations have a broad strategic vision and will play an important role in China's sustained economic growth and long-term social stability.

Media and scholars from many countries believe that the "15th Five-Year Plan" recommendations show "sound and pragmatic development prospects for the world's second largest economy" and inject confidence into the world.

Brazil's "Forum" magazine pointed out that the international situation is undergoing drastic changes, and China's development stability and policy continuity demonstrated by its long-term vision and strategic planning have attracted global attention. "Kazakhstan Business News" commented that China today is an "oasis of certainty" and China's five-year plan will promote the country's development and contribute to global stable development.

"We pay close attention to China's governance plan." "Kazakhstan Business News" quoted Kyrgyzstan Deputy Prime Minister Edil Baisalov as saying that China is an important engine of the global economy, and China's stable development will have an important positive impact on developing countries, especially on China's surrounding areas such as Central Asia.

Promote high-quality development with "innovation" and "green"

The main goals of economic and social development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period proposed at this meeting have attracted great attention from the international community. "High-quality development" is another high-frequency word in relevant reports of international media. Related to this, “innovation” is frequently mentioned in foreign media reports.

"In China's list of key tasks for the future, high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and innovation are top priorities, demonstrating China's great emphasis on scientific and technological progress." An article on the Spanish China Policy Observer website believes that China is consolidating high-quality development momentum in domestic consumption, digital economy, and advanced manufacturing fields such as new energy vehicles and artificial intelligence, and promoting the transformation of its economic model.

The European News Today website is particularly concerned about China's efforts to promote the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, and to promote the development of educational technology talents in an integrated manner. It believes that China is using innovation to "promote the transformation of growth engines." "This not only includes integrating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, green manufacturing and biotechnology into the industrial system, but also strengthening collaboration among universities, enterprises and research institutions to turn innovation into important development advantages."

The Fourth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee proposed to accelerate the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development and build a beautiful China. In recent years, China has made outstanding achievements in green development, leading the world in renewable energy, new energy vehicles and other industries. "Green" has become another key word for international media to focus on China's promotion of high-quality development.

An article on Australia's Lowy Interpreter website predicts that China's traditional industries such as steel, chemicals and machinery will undergo "intelligent" and "green" upgrades.

Iran's "Asia News" website believes that this meeting emphasized accelerating green transformation and outlined the vision of "Beautiful China". While China is promoting the upgrading of traditional industries during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, it will also continue to cultivate emerging industries related to new energy. "Green productivity" has become one of the iconic features on China's modernization path.

"In my opinion, in the next five years, China will consolidate its global leadership in green growth and technological innovation, and set a benchmark for inclusive and sustainable development in the 21st century." said Luigi Gambardella, Chairman of the China-Europe Digital Association.

Promote common development through "opening up" and "One Belt, One Road"

The international community pays attention to China's future development and more importantly, China's interaction with the world. The Fourth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee proposed to expand high-level opening up to the outside world and create a new situation of win-win cooperation. "Opening up" has become one of the "hot words" that attracts great attention from the international media. China's firm determination to share opportunities and develop together with the world has been widely praised by the international community.

"Restrictions on foreign investment access in the manufacturing sector have been 'cleared', the opening up of the service industry has been steadily expanded, and pilot free trade zones have been established across the country..." An article on the Canadian "Digital Magazine" website details the opening up measures China has implemented in recent years, pointing out that "China's development vitality comes from embracing cooperation with a more open attitude."

"China continues to improve its level of openness and expand cooperation space, providing valuable cooperation opportunities for countries in the Global South." Abdul Aziz Shabani, a researcher at the Political and Strategic Research Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, said, "China will continue to promote high-level opening up during the '15th Five-Year Plan' period, which the world is particularly looking forward to."

Many international media have noticed that when the communiqué of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China mentioned "expanding high-level opening up to the outside world", it specifically proposed "high-quality joint construction of the 'Belt and Road'". The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has become a bright business card of China's foreign cooperation. In the eyes of foreign media and scholars, it is a vivid manifestation of China's expansion of high-level opening up.

"In today's world where protectionism is on the rise, China's open policy allows all parties to share China's economic growth opportunities." The "Pakistan Today" article commented that the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has entered a new stage, expanding into areas such as digital connectivity and green technology cooperation, and constantly providing new opportunities for Pakistan and other partners.

Gürsum Akbulut, president of Turkey's Ankara Global Consulting Group, said: "China continues to promote high-quality cooperation in building the Belt and Road Initiative, bringing benefits to people in more and more countries and regions."

"In the process of cooperating with the world with an open attitude, China has made other countries feel equality, mutual trust and mutual respect, and is a good and trustworthy partner of all countries." South African economist Sandile Swana said that China has always taken practical actions to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with other countries, promote common prosperity and development, and hope to promote a bright future for human society with a shared future.
