BRICS Scholar Highlights Strategic Vision for China's 2026-2030 Development
Professor Jaya Josie of South Africa's University of the Western Cape has hailed China's upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan (FYP) as a stabilizing force in global economics, telling KhabarAsia.com the blueprint will create "a better environment for foreign investment" while steering the world's second-largest economy toward high-quality growth.
The comments follow last month's Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, which finalized recommendations for the 2026-2030 development roadmap. "This plan introduces certainty in an unpredictable world," said Josie, who has tracked China's FYPs since South Africa joined BRICS in 2010.
Bridging Past and Future
The 15th FYP marks a pivotal transition period as China works to achieve its 2035 modernization goals. Analysts suggest the plan will likely emphasize technological innovation, green energy transitions, and deeper integration with emerging markets through mechanisms like the BRICS New Development Bank.
Josie's analysis aligns with growing international interest in China's policy continuity, particularly among developing nations seeking infrastructure partnerships and supply chain stability. The full plan is expected to be formally adopted during next year's National People's Congress sessions.
