Strategic industries set to gain from 13th Five-Year Plan

Strategic industries related to issues ranging from the reform of State-owned enterprises to industrial upgrading and greener growth are expected to get a boost under the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20) despite a likely lower overall growth target for the period, analysts said.

The draft plan of China's social and economic development for the next five years will be reviewed and deliberated at the Fifth Plenum, a key meeting of the Communist Party of China, next week.

It will also be the first development blueprint drafted under the leadership of President Xi Jinping.
