Innovation anchors China's high-quality growth in new five-year plan

Xin Ge

As China enters the critical first year of its upcoming 15th Five‑Year Plan (2026–2030), the nation faces a defining moment in its economic trajectory. Confronted with a complex interplay of global slowdown, heightened geopolitical tensions and shifting domestic dynamics, China has signaled a strategic pivot: from sheer expansion to sustained high‑quality development, driven by innovation, structural upgrading and a resilient internal economic engine.

The five-percent year-on-year growth not only satisfied the set annual target of around five percent, but also laid the groundwork for accelerated growth heading into 2026. Here is how.

The 'Board of Peace' and the rise of transactional diplomacy

Imran Khalid

History shows that lasting peace requires two elements: local legitimacy and political clarity. And the "Board of Peace" lacks both.

The dangerous gamble of Sanaenomics

To emulate Abenomics, Japan's new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi immediately unveiled a fiscal policy centered on "consumption-stimulating tax cuts, industrial subsidies, and defense expansion." The goal is to reignite growth through higher public spending and make public debt more sustainable. Yet a close examination of the three core questions – where does the money come from, where will it go and whether it retains its value – reveal that Sanaenomics (also called Takaichi-nomics) is actually a high-stakes gamble.
