What they say

Qin Shengxiang, political commissar of the PLA Navy

The proposals for formulating the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) and future targets for 2035 are of milestone significance, as they are top-level, strategic and systematic designs to implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in an all-around, in-depth way.

Liu Qi, secretary of the Communist Party of China Jiangxi Provincial Committee

We shall adhere to the principles of problem-oriented and goal-oriented approaches, and the key is to address problems and solve them in practice. Only by doing so can we achieve higher quality development and benefit the people.

Jiang Wei, Party chief of Guotai Junan Securities Asset Management Co Ltd

The problem-oriented approach requires us to be aware of our own deficiencies and also realize the changing domestic and international environment. Bottom-line thinking requires us to fully assess all risks and difficulties, address inadequacies and reinforce strengths.

Han Changfu, minister of agriculture and rural affairs

The vast rural areas have great potential for development. As China aims to build a new development pattern of "dual circulation", we will move to make the most of rural regions. That can help bolster domestic consumption.

Lou Qinjian, secretary of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee

The proposals have summarized the great achievements we made over the past five years, and pointed out the foundation for future development. Drafted with an international outlook, the document helps make our efforts more creative and preemptive.

Li Jinfu, secretary of the CPC Anhui Provincial Committee

We will make quality development the centerpiece of our work, and drive overall development with scientific innovation. In particular, we must achieve independence in the science and technology sector and make it a strategic pillar.

Wang Jianwu, political commissar of the PLA Southern Theater Command

The plan adheres to the unity of a strong country and a strong military. We will resolutely implement the decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee, the Central Military Commission and Chairman Xi, and quickly enhance the capability to command joint operations of theaters.
