The two sessions frequently release positive signals, gathering strength in the first year, and the world looks forward to sharing China's new opportunities
The Fourth Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference successfully completed its agenda and concluded at the Great Hall of the People on the morning of the 11th. In the past week, the world's attention to China's two sessions has continued to rise. Many international figures and media believe that the two sessions send a positive signal of China's unwavering commitment to promoting high-quality development, conveying hope and confidence for common development and win-win cooperation to the world. At the same time, a stable and developing China injects more stability and certainty into a turbulent and intertwined world, allowing the world to witness China's determination and resilience to work hard and move forward step by step. The Pakistan Today newspaper reported that from this year's National People's Congress and the draft outline of the 15th Five Year Plan, it can be seen that China is striving to build a more resilient domestic demand market by strengthening the social security network and encouraging consumption. If China successfully unleashes its consumption potential while maintaining its momentum in the field of technology development in the future, it will benefit far more than just China. For the global economy that is seeking new growth drivers, such a China is also an indispensable ballast.
Raise the banner high, unite and work together
On the morning of the 11th, the Fourth Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference held its closing ceremony at the Great Hall of the People. Wang Huning, Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, presided over the closing ceremony and delivered a speech. Wang Huning said that the Fourth Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) was a conference that held high the banner, united efforts, pursued practicality and progress, and maintained a clean and upright atmosphere. It vividly demonstrated the responsibility of CPPCC members to fulfill their duties for the country and the people, fully demonstrating the unique advantages and vitality of socialist consultative democracy. He said that all members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) carefully discussed the government work report, the draft outline of the 15th Five Year Plan, and other reports, carefully reviewed the work report of the CPPCC Standing Committee and the report on the status of proposal work, and achieved fruitful results.
Wang Huning said that 2026 is the first year of the "15th Five Year Plan", and the CPC is leading hundreds of millions of people on the new journey of Chinese path to modernization with confidence. The People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) should base itself on its own nature, positioning, responsibilities, and missions, identify the entry points, integration points, and focus points that serve the overall development of the 15th Five Year Plan, fully leverage the role of specialized consultative institutions, unite and lead various political parties, organizations, and people from all ethnic groups and sectors who participate in the CPPCC, and create a good start for the 15th Five Year Plan, widely gather people's hearts, consensus, wisdom, and strength.
On the 11th, Hong Kong's "Bus News" reported that the Fourth Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference concluded on the same day, calling for the gathering of wisdom and strength to ensure a good start to the "15th Five Year Plan". The report states that this year's National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference are of great significance, and the information released is exactly what people have been eagerly anticipating. China continues to promote high-quality development and is committed to contributing to strengthening the multipolar world pattern, injecting stability into the weak global economy under geopolitical tensions and bringing greater certainty to global governance.
Pakistan's "Mingjing Daily" reported that in addition to formulating development policies, the two sessions also demonstrated an important aspect of China's governance model, which is the combination of long-term strategic planning and extensive consultation. This organized negotiation process helps maintain policy continuity while allowing for adjustments based on the constantly changing environment. In the rapidly changing global environment, this institutional stability can provide a solid foundation for sustainable development. The website of Zhihua Lecture Hall in Spain stated that the outline of the "15th Five Year Plan" has further expanded public participation in the preparation process, highlighting China's democratic advantages. It is worth noting that China is still promoting legislation for this participatory democratic model. The important content of the draft of the National Development Planning Law reviewed by the two sessions this time includes strengthening the mechanism for public participation.
Zhang Yunquan, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and researcher of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said in an interview with the Global Times on the 11th that this year's NPC and CPPCC sessions gave the deepest impression of "pragmatism" and "clarity". This year marks the beginning of the 15th Five Year Plan. The National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference not only demonstrated China's strategic determination in a complex international environment, but also brought the grand narrative of "China's governance" into the daily lives of the people through a series of precise measures in the government work report. The entire process, from the setting of the expected economic growth target of 4.5% to 5%, to the many detailed arrangements in the field of people's livelihood security, reflects the democratic vitality of widely consolidating consensus, making people full of confidence in the steady progress of the country's future.
The answer lies in opportunities and stability
In the media coverage of the Two Sessions in many countries around the world, especially in the global South, the "15th Five Year Plan" and "new opportunities for development" have become high-frequency words. Kazakhstan Today reported on the 11th that the draft outline of the 15th Five Year Plan submitted for review and discussion at this year's National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference indicates that China will strive to play a stabilizing role in an uncertain world, support a multipolar pattern, and expand relations with various regions. In terms of economic and trade relations, it is expected that China will further strengthen regional economic integration initiatives, especially in the fields of digital economy, innovation, and sustainable development. Cooperation with neighboring countries and countries in the global South will be given more attention, which will provide huge opportunities for Central Asian countries, including Kazakhstan.
The website "Rising Nepal" states that formulating a strategic and comprehensive five-year plan is one of the symbols of "China's governance". Although facing many challenges and difficulties, China has always achieved its goals step by step with a spirit of progress and perseverance. In a turbulent world, steady steps are the strongest signal. The draft of the Tenth Five Year Plan outlines China's new development strategy and government priorities, and explains why China will continue to be the main driver of global economic growth and benefit the world through Chinese path to modernization.
In an interview with the Global Times, Bach, the new AU representative in China, said: "This is my first time to attend the National Two Sessions in China. For me, it is a very rare experience to be able to observe closely and follow up the review process of the National Two Sessions in the whole process, because the meeting brought together the strength of all sectors of Chinese society. From the perspective of national governance, I can clearly see the efficient operation of the CPC and the Chinese government in policy formulation, formulation and follow-up implementation, reflecting a highly inclusive process, and formulating a clear development blueprint for China's future."
Bach said that China and Africa have an all-weather, mutually beneficial and win-win partnership. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the opening of diplomatic relations between China and Africa, which is a significant year. "I am honored to be in China at such a historic moment.
China's complete industrial system, super large market advantages, and driving force for new and optimal development have attracted numerous foreign-funded enterprises to share the dividends of China's high-quality development. One inventory pool, supplying the whole world! "Dai Hongfei, Vice President of Amazon Global, told Global Times reporters that in March this year, Amazon's first intelligent hub warehouse settled in Shenzhen, which will help sellers achieve" online and global sales ".
We are witnesses and beneficiaries of China's reform and opening up, "said Xie Yi, Senior Vice Chairman of Thailand's CP Group, in an interview with the media." During the 15th Five Year Plan period, China's high-quality development will continue to advance, and CP Group will also embrace more and more development opportunities. "As for why we always insist on deeply cultivating China, Xie Yi said," The answer lies in opportunities and stability.
From 'key variables' to' strong increments'
The continuous breakthroughs and implementation of high-tech are precisely where China's confidence in sustainable development lies. "According to the European Times, a performance of a Chinese kung fu robot on the Chinese Spring Festival Gala for the Year of the Horse went viral worldwide, becoming a symbol of China's new economy and high-tech progress and leadership. In an interview on the "Ministerial Channel" of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Minister of Industry and Information Technology Li Lecheng stated that this marks the transition of China's high-quality development from "scientific and technological breakthroughs" to "scenario implementation". The report states that this sentence is quite representative for observing China's future development potential. This year's government work report mentioned that "domestic open-source models lead the global open-source ecosystem". By 2025, the scale of China's core artificial intelligence industry will exceed 1.2 trillion yuan, with over 6200 enterprises. Artificial intelligence, as a 'key variable', is becoming a 'strong increment' for China's high-quality economic development.
During this year's National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, "raising lobsters" (an AI intelligent agent) became the hottest topic in China's artificial intelligence field. The Wall Street Journal reported on the 11th that China's "lobster farming" craze is accelerating the transformation of artificial intelligence. Against the backdrop of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference promoting the development of cutting-edge technology, local governments such as Shenzhen and Wuxi have quickly joined this trend and released "10 Lobsters" or "12 Lobsters" to create the preferred location for global artificial intelligence entrepreneurship.
Liu Shangxi, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Vice President of the Chinese Society of Macroeconomics, told Global Times reporters that although regulatory authorities have warned of risks, "we should actively try to apply new technologies, discover problems in practice, and improve technology. Liu Shangxi said that being afraid of risks and standing still is the biggest risk. In cutting-edge fields such as intelligent agents, China has the advantage of a super large market for application scenarios, providing broad space for technology implementation.
In addition to the field of artificial intelligence, China also attaches great importance to the technological development related to people's livelihoods. Zhao Zhihai, a National People's Congress representative and chief expert of Zhangjiakou Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Hebei Province, known as the "father of hybrid millet", told Global Times reporters on the 11th that this year's government work report mentioned "deepening the implementation of the seed industry revitalization action" and "strengthening the implementation of a new round of action to increase grain production capacity by billions of kilograms". These tasks require China's seed industry to achieve a qualitative leap by utilizing new technologies. At present, China has created the world's first intelligent breeding robot. The participation of breeding robots in research and development will form a new AI breeding model in the agricultural field, which will greatly enhance China's breeding level. ”He predicts that in the next five years, China will see the emergence of various breeding chips and breeding robots, and China's agriculture will surely usher in a major breakthrough in productivity.
